There are some great philosophical games on Kongregate, but there aren't a lot that make me go beyond smiling and want to show other people. This is one of them. Congratulations on the success of such a simple but neat (and fun) game with a message everyone needs to hear :)
This is a very fun and satisfying game. That said, I think a lot of people (including myself) would prefer upgrades and the like due to the difficulty.
Having to master the technique to master the game is certainly a challenge, but the polish and simplistic but effective gameplay make it a little inaccessible to people who aren't as good at gaming. I think a lot of the complaints aren't coming from the fact this is a bad game, but that if you're bad AT it, you're doomed without an incredible amount of practice.
I would love to see a version of this game WITH different upgrades (or at least a checkpoint system instead of continues), but I also understand why that might change the dynamic of the game!
DeSuFnOc84 - Uh, what? Senate and Congress members make less than your average Surgeon. Even halving their pay would still only save a few million, and then they'd be making less than some electricians... And by the way, your suggestion is more pro-communism than not.
Seriously, this game is no easier playing right wing than it is left wing, people. Stop bandwagoning.
Slightly confusing interface and far less explanation of things than necessary for a public game... But 4/5 for at least putting some research into the game and trying to balance things out.
4/5. Great idea, great game, and the upgrades are actually balanced (run a no-melee and then a no-tower game, not much difference in power). My only complaint is the small selection of towers and areas (only one).
The graphics make it interesting and entertaining while not being overwhelmingly cluttering like many TD games.
Nice, fun, simplistic game. The addition of missiles as a reward for playing the game that much is very much so appreciated... With a fully upgraded van and missiles, you can drive straight during the last mission spamming missiles and come out with a HIGHER credit score than you started with!
Nice, simplistic gameplay. 3/5 because there are glitches (on three different plays my shots went THROUGH a battering log/ram coming from the left side of the screen) and the NEED to restore health. It's literally impossible to kill a sled coming at you from the top of the screen because of how big it is, so you have to have full health every level... Even then, you can just get screwed.
Despite what people say, there are some pretty big differences in each character. The Engineer is the only one who can heal but gives up the ability to reflect things. The Psionic (with Forget and Telepathy) is built to just lock down the opponent while being the hardest to kill (Mana Shield). The Juggernaut focuses on taking damage and then turning it into more, making it more of a challenge.
I did Psi then Jug then Eng.. To be honest I found Engineer the easiest (never lost) even though I figured out the game entirely after the Psi. The Eng's got a long stun and the healing makes you really hard to kill.
5/5, well balanced and fun game, though once you figure out the attack patterns it gets a little too easy.
There's no need for an in-battle save, if that's what people are referring to.
Otherwise, just hit the campaign button when you come back, puts you at the last mission you were on. :P
The original Pandemic is not on Kongregate.
Try starting in Madagascar if you're having problems it.. Just keep remaking, you'll eventually get it.
Infecting Madagascar=/=instant win :P
