A strategy to get the Hard badge is under the "Best" comments already but I feel that I should elaborate:
1) Shapes = Abstract
2) Pattern = Straight
3) Motion = Fixed.
Once you begin the game make every effort to collect the yellow and purple shapes, when you get Yellow Frenzy frantically move you mouse side to side to collect as many of the yellows as you can. Proceed through the level collecting every yellow and purple you can. I found it easy to swirl my mouse in small circles to gather all the colored shapes. Continue to avoid the red shapes, you should have a multiplier of about 120+ and well over 5 million points.
Rate + if this helped you and to let others know as well.
Easy game, had everything upgraded before going past level 7, extremely fun game and that's what it is all about on Kong.
TIP: Repeat level 7 over and over again to rack up gifts while purchasing upgrades, be sure to stockpile plenty of gifts to purchase upgrades on future things.
Hit the + if this helped with completing some of those more annoying levels.
Let me hide in this cave and not use my walking stick as a defensive weapon against this alien slug creature that has been devouring my friends, fellow campers, and woodland creatures.
Just to help everyone out the number between 1 and 100,000 is RANDOM each play through, start with a low number and if too low type in a much higher number and then proceed to whittle your way down between the low and high numbers you have entered. Example: 1000 - 50000, wrong, 10,000 - 30,000, wrong, ... etc.
