Cannot pause in midair, the "restart" button is the same as the mute button, the mute button only silences the music, not the gameplay sounds, and rolling is basically broken. Makes for a real fun 1000 tries for that hard badge.
After a whole bunch of tries on the octopus, it came down to luck yet again. I got a 5-in-a-row which gave me one of those things that looks like a galaxy, and I used that on a counter. 500+ counter with 100% shield. Boss raged, game over.
It was fun until I realized it didn't stop at 24 levels. I've been playing this for nearly 8 hours, and I'm still not done. Far too repetetive.... Spam archers, convert mana to food, spam more archers. For 120 levels.
I just wish there was something to do with all that extra exp. I maxed out the spec I was using, then in turn each of the other 3. It would be cool if there were small bonuses for all the classes to, say, agility, when I upgraded finesse. Also, what is the gold for?
3 Stupid situations, each a reason why I don't like this game:
1) I score 3 goals and get an assist, I make the one interception I am given, and I don't miss any passes. My team loses 5-4, and I only score 6.5/10 for overall rating.
2)I play a bad game, miss a pass. I am taken out 30 minutes in, and get -5 for all three subjects, because I missed a pass and the keeper managed to stop the 2 shots I took.
3)A game like that one^ takes away the star rating that it took me 2-4 games to build up.
I intended to send the developer an honest yet courteous email about the bugs in the game, because I think there is a lot of potential for this game but there are clearly too many issues as of right now, and he/she seems to ignore the feedback on Kong. There is no email address posted on his/her Kong account or his/her webpage, so I followed through to the developers forums, and it became clear that he/she has abandoned ship. The forums are riddled with spam, and there don't seem to be any recent posts by the developer. I'm giving up hope for this one.
I see comments about people with slow computers getting great performance...I have just the opposite. Due to the lag I'm getting, its easy to miss jumps (or the entire platform, on occasion) which makes getting red gems very frustrating, made much worse by the default song I'm forced to listen to repeatedly. If you're going to pick just *one* song that comes with the game, and I understand there is the availability to play with other songs, but please pick a decent song.
So you travel to different worlds, each with a few stages, leveling up Weapons, Gadgets and Armor, all while trying to stop a mysterious alien threat. Occasionally, you have allies that join in, but they're useless. There are challenges that yield extra rewards, and the full game costs $50. Someone please tell me this isn't the next Ratchet and Clank installment?
Really? Four(five) games in and you still haven't learned to let us mute all the sounds? When I click the mute button, I expect that to apply to all sounds. Other than that, its a fun game. Just like the other ones that are exactly the same.
I can see why the "hard" badge here is worth 30 points- this game is unbearably tedious. Its not a bad concept, don't get me wrong. But when I have to fight 6 snowmen in a row, where each takes nearly 5 minutes to defeat, my patience is seriously strained. And they're not even difficult enemies. It just takes forever to charge and launch enough attacks to kill something with a few thousand health. FAR too slow for me to be able to enjoy the full game.
