Fun game! I wish it had highscores. So far I've played every level once (kept winning on first try :) ), my scores are 11, 10, 40, 74 and 123 (:O) so I should be able to quite easily improve all of them except the last one, which is more than the final bonus higher than the preceding limit (and even the final limit!)(That's the only level where I wasted tokens - 20 of them since last 20 combos were taken down when above limit)
Weird, my previous best was 170-ish with a ton of effort (and many deaths is 150-ish range iirc), now after like 8 years of not playing my first try was 220ish, almost every attempt in 200-range and I got 565 in under 30 tries. So my advice for the hard badge is: don't train this game at all for 8 years ;P Actual advice: try to keep the ragdoll standing - you can dodge through amazingly narrow gaps by gently pressing up then.
I posted the badges the day it came out, in general try looking through more of recent/best comments when you want some info :) other two are for Donald Trump and 2016 master for idk how many puzzles from that pack, probably 250-ish.
No seriously I need the forums!!! Besides the good threads that were already there (guides, bug reports, suggestions, the pic converter program) I meant to post stuff that doesn't quite fit to comments, like a thread for best puzzle finds (e.g. a list of all puzzles from you the devs), suggestion for story mode/quests (I really enjoy the Picma world) and thread for Shinyfying pokémon (pokémon puzzle locations + what colors to use)! Also where am i supposed to report a small unimportant bug with borders now >.< and suggest to add number of puzzles complete as kongregate hiscore table.
Nope, last achievement is lvl 200 and the complexity progression stops soon after at 20-21-25-30. I went to lvl 250 and now I'm playing custom, making it progressively more complex until it reaches 30-all, as the game should've done >.< .
Bob Dylan badge works on today's puzzle (Grafitti) (will also work on Horse Race in a week) (Again seems more like Entertainment than Show so again, maybe it works on both? Haven't fully figured out the xml category numbers)
The new Bob Dylan badge works on today's puzzle CongaTrain (and therefore all puzzles from category number 25 in xml files. I thought that was Entertainment, not Show? Maybe it works on both.)
No guarantees, but from my scrolling through the puzzles I'd bet on the 3 new badges (other than 2016 Master) being from Bob Dylan, Brexit and Donald Trump, would match previous years.
Tried custom 25-30-30-0 once, got 16:59.48. It's fun, but I want to get to lvl 200 and reach a non-custom level that's 25-30-30-30 so I probably won't be improving my time anytime soon.
A 20×20 puzzle has 400 pixels that you need to paint (assuming you X all the empty squares too) so that's 399 moves minimum if you magically knew the solution. Add travelling through unknown squares and it easily gets to around 1000 moves per puzzle. If you keep the cursor near where your eyes are at all times, that adds a lot too. So around 80 20×20 puzzles. The retry and pause prizes are the ridiculous ones.
The hardest was IMO Samurai (2015 one of last pages), I went through multiple 30-minute attempts, other very hard ones never took more than one time-failure, and most of that was when I wasn't that skilled. And that's with screenshotting the puzzle progress before time ran out after 30 and 60 minutes (I quit after 90 and finished all other puzzles before coming back).
Whenever you don't know what something is, use google images. I think tamaii picks one of the first results as a help for drawing. I love that I ocassionally learn something new while playing a puzzle game. Now I wish I knew about blobbing in summer...
Protip: do one adventure level per day and you'll achieve the hard badge without much rage in a month. Also, you can never get truly stuck as all moves are reversible, except the ones that help you immensely (disappearing blocks)(those are essentially checkpoints).
Best glitch ever: I found a boomerang in a chest, immediately equipped it in slot 2, then when I bought it in shop it was autoequipped in slot 1 so i had boomerngs in BOTH slots. But that's not all. Besides being able to throw two boomerangs at once, I can INFINITELY DUPLICATE THEM by throwing one, changing weapon and catching it, as both of them get +1 and then the first reloads so one stays the same and one gets 1 extra.
