is it just me, or are the heroic challenges actually easier than the normal level? With all the extra gold at startup, I find them quite OK to beat

Great game, but needs an option to disable the car. Otherwise you basically lose money, because you cannot collect all the gold...

Absolutely fabulous game! And an honorable message included, not bad. Graphics are nice, and the soundtrack is just great! Reminds me of those good old games back on C64 and MS-DOS... :))) Right on!

Solid visuals and good game! On the negative side, though, I find it a lame that you can take every curve even at full speed. You never have to use the brakes, basically. That makes everything a bit too easy...

Nice game, but shouldn't be Top Played of the month. I think Kong should list only games that have a certain number of ratings.

Damn... it always freezes when trying to connect to the server. I am using Firefox 11 on Win XP. I have tried lots of times, and waited up to an hour. Is there any specific port required or other potential firewall issue?

Why do you have to select your race again, when loading a saved game? I find that confusing.

This is one game that you can play over and over again without getting bored. Great job!

I propose to add the option to finish a battle on auto (assuming that it was started manually). In lots of situations, you need to be careful at the beginning of a battle, but the remaining cards can be played randomly. Vote + if you like this.

This is a truely great game. But I will not let myself be forced to pay for it. So I can just play a while every day before the energy runs out. Thanks a lot.

122,263,540... my absolute high score. Turns out there is also a 10th shipment (for 720 crates of Tea). You just have to get all previous shipments home without much waiting, then this order will pop up...

Finally!! 81.2 Million!! And once you figure out how the scores are evaluated it is obvious: The amount of opium counts (1 crate sold in China equals 1,000 points) and Tea brings double score (1 crate of Tea shipped to England makes up for 2,000 points). To win the hard badge, you need to finish all except for the last shipment in due time, so that you get all shipments through, including the 660 crate one. Otherwise, the 570 (or even 450) shipment will be the last one. That accounts for the Tea score. To bring Opium score up, you need to buy almost constantly when the opium price is below 50 and sell whenever it is offered at more than 50. Of course, bigger deals are to be preferred, especially towards the end, when there is a higher risk of increased port authorities' attention. And buy Tea constantly, to avoid having to buy rapidly when the clipper is waiting, which would make the price soar sky-high. Hope that helps you... Rate this to keep alive, and enjoy.

I like the atmosphere much... feels great to buy and sell that stuff. Right, the economics are flawed, because the actual prizes and the messages (e.g. Opium price rise in Bengal) do not always match. Besides, sometimes the opium price rises, but the arrow is green and goes down, and vice versa. But most of all: How on earth are you supposed to score 80 Million?? I just hit my personal high score and all I got was 59 Million!!

yay! finished in 150 days! great game!

if you need help, check out my walkthrough. it contains lots of tips I gathered plus a guide for how to reach day 150+. See here: http://hotel-mama.blogspot.com/2009/10/elona-shooter-general-issues-and.html

Truely awesome game! I put up a guide including strategy tips and how to reach day 150+. See here: http://hotel-mama.blogspot.com/2009/10/elona-shooter-general-issues-and.html

What the...? this is the worst attempt ever to get people to boost the number of plays counter on Kong. 1/5 for that, otherwise decent game

@Darkest: To get the Hanabi medal, you just need to watch the fireworks at the end of a day for about half a minute before clicking to continue.

@hooda: If you got the skill from a medal, your character might not be able to level up, because that class cannot learn that skill under normal cicrumstances. For example, the Hunter cannot lear Sense and so even when he gets Sense from the medal, he will always stay at the starting level...

Is there ANY way to select a different save game slot within the game, i.e. the town menu? I mean, it makes no sense at all to select a slot at the title screen but then never having a possibility to switch in order to prevent the autosave from constantly overwriting your saves!
