Guessing should NEVER be required in picross. your 5x5's even have a few places where you flat out have to guess, and more than one answer could eb right. fail. Picross isn't picross with guessing.
Should be solvable throuhg logic, or its not real picross. Requiring guessing.. especially when mutliple answers SHOULD be right by logic defeats the purpose of the puzzle genre.
Yay, finally got the stupid impossible. had a regenerator glitch out on me even, and fly through a wall and keep flying (aguess he realized he'd never make the exit) solution- sell all but my mega tower (that had 3 snipers making it up) and put range boosters around it. eventually had enough where it fired at the glitched offscreen mob and keeled it dead (shots took about 2 minutes to reach after firing)
2/5 use kreds for upgrades? new maps sure, but i detest all games that offer kreds as a way to "cheat" or get bonuses that no one else has. extra content is fine... but thats just lame.
Err Draco, other than the intro, it tells you which function x has by which door you went in.
GREAT game, puzzles require actual thought, not run of the mill easy to solve pre school puzzles. Though I do agree it seems to be a bit harder on the vid card/processor than a flash game warrants.
Lol still people trying to say its a game.
Games require interaction.
Games require competition (as in a way to lose...)
Game requires activity. saying "this is an idler" and "this is a game" is like saying about something "this is big" and "this is small". Idler and game, are, by very defenitions of the words, opposites.
Just because there are other screen savers that claim to be games even dumber than this one, doesn't make this one a game either.
Hell, chewing stride gum is as much a game as watching this thing run.
Idle programs are fine for the site, leave it on, but stop acting all self important because stride disqualified you. It didn't fit their requirements.
Did you know- Games are interactive. This is a screen saver.
Calling it an idle game doesn't make it a game, it makes you illiterate.
Make it if you want, your perogative, just stop whining you got booted from the contest since your screen saver isn't a game... go check out the "what is a game" tutorials found ON KONGREGATE
Lol, reread the comments. there aren't 1200 first day, and a good portion of them are begative comments.
You didn't win because this isn't a damn game, its a screen saver shrunk to fit a small box. While it appears a good portion of the people who rated this so high aren't too bright, you weren't able to fool Stride's judges.
Idle "games" aren't games. simple as that, you were told to submit a GAME
Idle games are NOT GAMES and the site doesn't need 300 versions of idle games for chatting. Stop rating these up, they wanna make em fine, but 4 stars? Thats just sad.
Venturesome are you really serious? Seriously you would come back and down rate a game.. made by a developer... because of the badges... which fyi the developer has not control over? Gee, good to know you're rating system is fair to the game maker.
Think all we are seeing here is people complaining because a puzzle game is actually HARD. lol@ downrating a game because the author wouldn't give you an easy mode
Like i said, if you think the game is luck based, your not playing it very well. You build up enough tiles early on, and the ending levels are a breeze.
A save that let you come back mid game if you had to go would be cool, but letting you retry after you lose would defeat the strategy of the game, which is to plan from the very first level to the end on saving tiles, knowing when its worth it to use one tile to gain even MORE bonus tiles, etc
Wow, saves and retries? swapping tiles? wow you people scare me. Any of those things would ruin the game. You want to save your chess games too? Be careful, plan ahead, and save your good bonuses to the end. Thats the game, its perfect as is
@above two
Its not luck based and they aren't useful features. the whole point of the game is to plan ahead. a "save" feature and a swap feature would completly defeat the purpose. now if we are talking about saving from session to session, fine, but if we are talking about saving so you can "replay" from the same level over and over, it defeats the worth of planning ahead and saving bonus tiles.
You can't tell me its luck based when i can get through level 30 9/10 games i play. its all about building your bonuses early while you have no resitrictions and saving them till the last levels.
Wow, saves and retries? swapping tiles? wow you people scare me. Any of those things would ruin the game. You want to save your chess games too? Be careful, plan ahead, and save your good bonuses to the end. Thats the game, its perfect as is
