Well, it’s been over 6 months, and I’ve finally come back and “beaten” this. I’d say it deserves a formal review for this.
But before I begin, let’s consider what beating this game means. This means, more or less, getting all the in game achievements. There happen to be 450 of them, although it really just boils down to one thing: getting ultimate on all 90 levels.
Considering anything less than 100% completion beating the game wouldn’t be right, now would it? That’d be like skipping most of the levels in super mario bros. and claiming you know all about it.

Judging from your response to me in the game comments section I believe you’re missing my point. I don’t have a problem with the nature of the game, thinking quickly and making decisions. I think its a fun an innovative game and I think you did a good job with it. What I do have a problem with is a game getting an impossible badge that is based on the pure luck of guard movement. There have been times where a guard stands in one place preventing me from moving at all. Therefore I cannot finish the level in under 30 seconds. Why do I have to keep playing the same level over and over again hoping to get guard movement that allows me to finish all the achievements? If its impossible to get all the achievements in every attempt on the level then it shouldn’t be badged this way

I would have liked for the next game if there were gadgets to choose at the start of each level that you could buy in a shop with some sort of cash things like to be able to throw a coin that would distract guards or a one time in a game that you would be able to kill one guard that is in a level making it a bit easier or maybe a teleportation that lets you move to areas near you and may even make you pass a guard without him noticing or maybe even the ability to transform into a guard for a couple of secounds what would make this idea of more powers other than speed and invisibility hard is that you may only choose 2 powers to start a level with making choosing the right combination of gadgets hard. I also thought about how powers may be able to level up the more you use them and making them more efficient like for the invisibility power once it lvls up once it lets you be able to use it for more time or if it fully lvls up it can let you stay invisible for as long as you like things like that. other then these ideas I love your work and keep it up :)

Hi, I liked your game, Ultimate Assassin 3. I think that you should learn how to take criticism though… everything we do is criticized every day, it is just a fact of life that no one can avoid. Instead of being offended I think it would be better to analyze the aspects of your game people are talking about and see what can be done to make it better..

" I didn’t make the game for the f*ckin badges."
You mad bro?
Just be happy it got badges or it’s most likely that it would only have a 4th of the number of plays it has now, besides a uber hard imp badges means for the rest of the time kong is around there will be a good flow of badge whores coming back over and over to work toward getting it. :P

DON’T GET MAD GET GLAD!

I think the issue of Ultimate Assassin 3 has nothing to do with the Impossible Badge but more the achievements themselves. Gamers are often completionists and will try to get all the achievements. You put the achievements in so people are naturally going to try to finish them. The thing is they are apparently tough to do. That’s all. The badge doesn’t need to be achieved, but people like to finish games 100%. It just happens that these two are pretty much on the same track.

Anyways, asides from this hiccup, the lack of a restart or mute, and some bugs (invulnerability or a loss of control when interrupted by another app popping up), I would say the game deserves being on this site, and deserves the decent rating it has. Hopefully, the strange feedback from perfectionist gamers will not dishearten you.

I see a lot of people hating about the guards movements and whatnot, well i think its better cause its more challenging and its unique, everyone wants things the same and i don’t see it. Keep doing the guards movements different cause when i beat the easy settings i go back and do the same levels over to get good and it gets more challenging every time i do the level.Hope you make more challenging games like the Ultimate Assassin games! :D

great game mate… it’s too sad it got the impossible bagde… I’ve seen the rating go down because of it and a lot of pissed of people… I myself am a badgehunter, and I do everything to get the badges (same as a lot of other people). Badgehunters are pissed off because getting the impossible badge can be rather lucky (finishing a level in 30 seconds requires a dumb movement of all those guards) and those badgehunters complain to you that it’s all about luck… I myself think this is mean, and awful. I’ve played your game(s) a few times before the badges were added, I really liked them, awsome game, sometimes took some time at levels but I didn’t try to get all achievements (because it took too long)… when the impossible badge came, it kinda ruined the goal of the game… things became frustrating instead of fun. If you make a next ultimate assassin, please, for the love of god, tell greg not to put a badge on it for all achievements. I don’t want to see the rating of an awsome game go down just because badges… 5/5 from me, keep up the good work, and good luck with your next games
