Surprisingly first 3 holes are the hardest for me to ace (10k). I only got it once on hole 1 and never on 2 and 3. On the other hand I almost always got 10k on like half of holes (inside missile, lilypads, ski slope, temple, waterfall, ice circle #1, last one with rocket). High score 159k, still playing :D
Like the concept and hard badge requirements. It's 30 seconds of work yet it's challenging. A completely opposite kind of hard badge is in Death vs Monsters game which requires you to play for like 30 minutes to attain required score.
this game makes me rage. dragon boss, 45 minute battle. I ran out of coffee and mana food, last dragon head had just about 10k hp left. Thing killed nat and lance, leaving me with unbuffed matt and no coffee left. FUUUUUUU
A cash and anchor drop from 1st form of final boss would be nice. Also a berzerk studio game that doesn't want you to use kreds for all kinds of stuff? Weird...
minor bug: you cant shoot at full power on hole #2 because gauge goes off screen. Other than that, it's one of the best games ive played. 14 full plays, 5 scores over 145k, my high 151k minus time. To all folks having trouble with hole 11: shoot at the right bank (30* angle) at 2/3 power. If you don't get hole in one and end up with crap position, then aim directly downward (with respect to SCREEN, not game world) at full power. I never get anythng below 8000 on this hole using this method.
I dunno why you complain about hard badge... It's pretty easy, took me 6 full plays including the first one without rainbows. If you don't score albatross on hole 11 and have your ball back at shitty position just aim from behind and launch at full power. Ball will bounce off wall and travel all the way up there collecting all rainbows. I never get anything below 8000 on that hole.
@XarnVenomclaw - the developer said many times it's that way because it's supposed to be realistic. As a real assasin you can't tell where the guard will go or look. I don't really like luck based games but this one makes sense at least.
If there will be 4th installment i HIGHLY recommend change to level unlock system. It should give you access to all missions from given tier right away. Players utterly hate to be stuck and rage quit the game if they do so for longer time. Also it should unlock next difficulty tier if you complete all but 3 or 5 missions. Badges have their own requirements anyway. I just want to play the game but I won't because I'm stuck at 23th mission from hard set with absolutely no spirit to play this game anymore.
In the flying minigame there's a glitch that makes you fly through obstacles if you're moving fast enough. This helps at level 100+ when duck takes off at lightspeed. Can get to 40k distance without dodging anything.
Dedrood's tips make this game very easy actually. You can save cash in rounds 1 and 2, you shoud have $135 for third round to maximize earnings there. From 4th onward - do as the comment says. Dunno how this got 1,7M plays though... Shitty graphics, no music, entire sound effects consist of I-HAAAA!!! and water splash, irritating do-in-one-sitting gameplay...
@jpelic - you cannot win this game, although it shouldn't be possible to make character that cannot die. My highscore run was challenging only until level ~20, after that it was pure grindfest - immune to everything, tons of armor which make normal attacks a joke and 7-digit damage (HP bars at floor 340 - around four SCREENS worth of tiny segments yet I still kill everything in one hit) I could play ad infinitum, I died on purpose taking off my gear, foes killed me in 4 hits naked :P Never ending games should have challenge that you cannot keep up with and eventually die, unlike this game where you outrun it by 1000 miles :P BTW. what happened to my #1 wealth score? :(
For those who want to get REALLY far in this game: in end-game (levels 30+) you absolutely have to get 100% ICE resistance. Those blue monsters that charge-attack do extremely high (500+ dmg at 0% res) ice damage at later levels. Fire monsters however don't increment and do static damage regardless of dungeon level (bug?) Second thing - you need a lot of armor. Screw all stat bonuses as they're negilible in endgame (despite being level 60 you'll still see only up to +10 which is laughable when you have 200 invested in). Dress in everything that has high AR - at level 67 (my top) I had around 330 AR, enemies did 30-50 damage with phys attack. Now what to kill with - I recommend vampire char with max STR. For weapon look only for damage. I did around 1900 damage at level 67. At deep lvl mon's have huge HP (I've seen like 40-50 SEGMENTS of health), spells are useless vs that as Ignite even at 200 INT does only 400-500 damage. [+] it so players would see.
Hard badge tip: you don't have to complete all 3 side missions in one try. If you have speed run goal for example you can complete the level with 2 other quests and do time challenge at second try rushing to exit :) [+] if this helps and other players should see it.
