Frantic is a series of Adobe Flash video games by Polymerrabbit. The games all involve a ship shooting down hundreds of other ships. These games feature a high degree of customisability in terms of ship builds and increasing amounts of content in each one.Frantic came out in 2008. It has 10 levels. It introduced the gameplay for the series to follow, with upgrades relying on up to four cards owned at once and bullet-dodging.Frantic 2 came out in 2009. It has 15 levels, divided into 3 episodes with 5 levels each. It introduced the scraping mechanic, where if you stay next to a bullet for a while, the score multiplier goes up. Many cards were merged to fit the upgrade better, but each ship now had customisable weapons and five card slots. There are also many more features, like a survival mode and a boss rush mode.Frantic 3 came out in 2013. It has 30 levels, divided into 5 areas with 3 levels and 3 bonus levels each. It ditched the card system for more standard weapons and accessories, with the amount of slots determined by ship selected.

Score Multiplier: Your score is multiplied by 1 every time the Tension gauge is filled, but you lose half of it upon being hit.

Achievement Mockery: The Oops achievements in the third game are for dying up to 20 times. There are also Idiot achievements which sound like they'd fit thanks to that name, but considering that you have to beat stages without using weapons, it's not truly a mockery.

Pinball Scoring: The games are reasonable with scoring at first, but all the multipliers quickly lead to you receiving thousands of points for shooting down foes. You can end an episode/area with over 100,000,000 if you're skilled enough.

Weak, but Skilled: The Tactician ship in the third game. It's weak with its 4 weapon slots and 3 hit shield, plus its speed is average. However, it has 12 accessory slots allowing for the most customisability and a high energy bar with recharge rate.

Harder Than Hard

comment
Harder Than Hard: Frantic mode in the second game, which is above Intense mode which is an example itself. As the game says, it is simply NOT recommended to play it. Combine Kamikaze with Iron Mode/Frenzy in the third game, which multiplies enemy HP/makes everything slightly faster on top of you being a One-Hit-Point Wonder.
