@alexppp that's not true actually. It depends on how HUGE the game is from what the Kong people tell me. In addition to that, this game requires a LOT of maintenance and there are so many hackers that have tried to ruin this game but have been stopped by the Devs that maintain it.
Kwesi, they won't because this game is closing soon. But if you'd like to see what combos exist right now. Go to the webstarts page. http://outernauts2.webstarts.com/breeding_and_eggs.html
Also, for those of you wondering about Android... yes it's going to Android as well.
Look, I'm sad too. I really wish they could keep this game open but how?? Here's the backstory. This game wasn't making any profits for them, in fact they were losing money. Regardless, they kept it open for as long as they could because they loved the community. IG isn't a conjurer of cheap tricks... they are a full fledged company that needs to pay their employees. But for Months, they kept the game open because of the community's passion. They kept updating it, they kept maintaining it, they kept finding hackers, they lowered prices, they took out the energy bars, they expanded and tried to do what the community wanted ALL THE WHILE NOT MAKING ANY PROFIT (in fact LOSING money)... and still after all this, they get flamed like crazy. I know some of the folks in Insomniac and I could whole heartedly say, they didn't keep the game open for the money... How could they if they kept losing money from it?
MASTACHIEF, you could still play it for the next 2 months and finish it. The storyline and gameplay is fun all the way through so beating it is fun. Plus, I'll still be playing it along with a few other core community folks... me mostly to farm sommovir =p
@farhanhanger add more neighbors that have different colored glowbugs. Also, if you do the dungeon called Round Roger's booty hideaway... it gives a LOT of glowbugs. hope this helps
@alkire05 consider that the beasts your'e fighting have an attribute called EVASION. (your beasts have this too) This will lessen your chances to hit a beast especially if the beasts are higher levels than yours. Then there's unlucky RNG of course =) ........................................................... @derpedmustache there is a second version out later and it will be mobile
@paladin, go here. it explains all the beginner stuff in quick A.D.D. fashion. http://www.kongregate.com/forums/235-outernauts/topics/356782-guide-for-a-d-d-ppl-who-dont-like-google-or-reading
@jgbravo666 there is a way to move buildings. bottom right, click the arrow (edit). click MOVE. click the building. click where you want to move it to. done.
i don't usually ask for thumbs ups but people always complain about not being able to move buildings and would like to show folks that it is an easy option. Also if you'd like more tips, check out this girl's profile and read "more about me". quick read and links to other helpful things. Plus she's a doll.

@LiCiLiCa fuse some uncommons until they're 8*. I suggest Grawl, Equi, Luprow, Cactinee and Volferno. Even if your beasts aren't lvl 60, you could always just fuse 8 of em to get passed the harder levels of the game, then when you're at the point where you own lvl 60 beasts, create a new set of fused uncommons and crystalize the old ones. Hope that helps.
@Demonsnk and @Jiggabachi Hey guys. Being a vet of this game, I know for a fact this isn't pay to win. I'm in the #1 guild and was #10 overall in last showdown... guess what? Didn't pay for it. The last time I paid was in support for the Devs who created a massive and awesome game (and because it was a sale at the time). It's pay for convenience / time more than win. You have access to pretty much everything you pay for over a certain amount of time. Also, how else do you expect the devs to keep up a HUGE game that's free to play without SOME micro-transactions that AGAIN, are not necessary to do well in this game? Jigga, it's definitely more challenging than most flash games... but it's not close to impossible. try checking out the beginner's guide on the forums to maximize success. GL you two.
@nikito999 most players don't use money for revives... actually nobody does. one way to level lower level beasts is to take them out of the starting 3. If you can't do that, make sure you're not fighting beasts that are much higher level than they are even if you have your starter in the party. Know which beasts strengths / weaknesses and you'll find that leveling your weaker beasts isn't that hard. btw, I've only spent a few bucks on this game and it wasn't out of necessity. It was out of support and appreciation for the fine game they've made.
@Hasstyp lower your BT before you engage in PVP. Helps a lot if it's required PVP quests or arena rounds. Deals and them asking you to pay occur way less frequent than usual "free to play" games. Realize, there is also NO ENERGY in this game AND the model isn't pay to win. This is Pay for convenience / time. You could pretty much get EVERYTHING eventually without paying to buy star gems. What IG does is allow you to get stuff earlier if you want to pay for it which is a lot better than most games who have certain items that are ONLY bought through actual money. hope this helps.
@sirmustapha, I agree with 3kfd769. there are a lot of folks that have been able to create a good, solid, varied, versatile team by knowing when to bring in their weaker beasts and keeping them out of party when it's a fight you can't predict (i.e. trainers, pvp). You could also train your beasts on the times you're not playing. Tickets are pretty easy to come by. Like 3kfd769 said, the A.I. is similar to a lot of players that attack the guy you know you could kill quickly.
in lots of MMO's, the balancing at the start / middle isn't quite there... but in end game, it starts to pan out.
for those who say f2p with premium items ruins low level fun, consider how games like WoW allow you to play free for a few levels. There are players at those same levels (alt toons) that'll pvp with you that have already spent money on subscription fees (in order to access the higher levels) that have superior gear to you (i.e. heirlooms or items bought by their higher level toons) and will give them the same advantage as these outernauts players who paid for their gear.
It's pretty much the same thing in that, those who pay (even at least a little... shoot, 10 bucks could get you a lot in this game) will give you access to gear the same way paid accounts on most major MMORPG's do when you finally subscribe.
Plus, you could easily play end game content with this game, save up your star gems, and be pretty well off with epic beasts by end game W/O spending a dime.
