I played this before on another website, glad to see it here on Kongregate! The style of the game is very creative, simple to learn but difficult to master, and really requires you to think and plan. Excellent job! 4/5 only because there's no killing zombies in it.. :P
DrNeroCF - sorry to have spammed your comments, wasn't expecting to be told I was wrong for my opinion. But yes, I'm running right, holding the right key, pressing jump.. and doing a backflip to the left. If that's how you want it to function, then that's how it is, but I don't agree with that, anymore than I'd rate Hexiom for giving me a 4 tile when I chose a 6. :) (and the keyboard is brand-new, thanks, heh)
No sir, I say 'fanboys' because they can't handle any criticism towards the thing they idolize, and anyone who doesn't agree with them MUST be wrong, rather than just having their own opinion. And Sullimart, shame on you for your hypocrisy, you have your share of negative comments including here. "Games I have trouble with"? I have all of the badges save the new ones, check your facts before you bash other users.
Bottom line, game has potential, but for me, player control and processing the input is more crucial that cuteness or funny features. If button X (in this case, the letter S) is jump, then jump when it is pressed, it shouldn't be optional. And for my opinion, that makes a good game bad, and very unpleasant to play. I'll score the badges like every other game, but my rating? Still 1/5.
Sorry, fanboys, guess you don't listen to reason - and you've never played Mario, who could manage to jump instead of having some twisted ADD that made him kick a dead creature instead of obeying the player input. Think about what you write next time.
And chibi - at least I'm smart enough to change my avatar, or post in the forums about it, not in a game comment. Please, guys, think for yourselves instead of just following the herd of sheep when you comment.
Seriously? Are you joking? Is this all one big laugh? THIS pile is nearly a 5-star game?! Control is an abomination, maybe you jump, maybe you instead kick a spider, maybe you do a backflip.. can't rely on my own buttons to make the character do what he's told. Sorry, its one hell of an effort and shows promise, but all the cute animations, clever tricks, and badges mean nothing if "I push the button" doesn't equate to the game responding as you direct it to. An emphatic 1/5, shame on the rest of you for being so easily fooled.
My issue with the game is entirely different. I'm finding that as I press Down to lower a piece, its moving into place but then IMMEDIATELY dropping the next piece in as well - that's no good, it needs to be a seperate button press for each action. Good look, though!
Oh, look, the computer 'somehow' constantly rolls above me. No thanks, I'll stick to Campaign Game for Risk-like play, at least there I'm not crippled by "luck" (using that term loosely). Nice work on the graphics and interface, but watching the computer play solitaire and slap me around holds no fun or interest. 1/5
In other words, rather than fix the code so the player isn't punished for strategically trapping his opponents, its now being claimed as a 'feature' with an edit to the instruction box. Still 1/5, thanks anyway.
Thanks for the "help" SimianLogic, surely you're only trying to defend your game - but there's nothing in the instruction explaining why we trap a ball only to have it spit back out of the upper right corner. THAT, sir, is a bug. Sad, too, the game has a good feel and a great look, even if it gets repetitive after a dozen levels or so... Still - its bugged, bottom line.
NO. No! NO NO NO NO NO. You FIX the game, THEN you give it badges!!! BOOOO, Kongregate! I'm dying for EVERY fill I make, and there's NO ball anywhere near me! One is trapped between the circles - you mean this game is stupid enough to PUNISH you for outsmarting the balls?! HORRIBLE program flaw, no business having badges until the game has been THOROUGHLY tested! 1/5
Agreeing with Lobster Mobster, the game AI doesn't have a sense of self-preservation regarding the candidate, I won my Hard game because Hillary walked into three of my guys and got beat like she stole something, didn't even leave when the beating commenced. Otherwise, fun lil' diversion.. 3/5 for putting style into an otherwise meh game.
Combining Monsters is highly amusing, since you can't combine two of the same monster - wait til you see what Ninja combines with.. ;) Amusing diversion every now and then, rounded up to 3/5 for the Combine card.
I felt my masculinity slipping away playing this, so I watched 300 & Die Hard to restore it. Seriously, good game though the controls are a bit spotty about grabbing the sprites, larger target zones would make this game a 4/5, but I have to settle for 3/5 as is. Disturbingly fun game...
Horrible game. And with such potential, too, but control and bad handling ruin what could be a lot of fun. Sick to death of having my guy passed through a wall (?!?) rather than walking along it, anomalies that don't fire when the mouse is released... control is THE most fundamental part of a game, everything else is secondary. 1/5 only because there's no lower score.
