This really should have keyboard scrolling. You're driving away enough players with blatant greed; do you really want to lose more due to a major UI problem that's so easily fixed? Combining drag to scroll and drag to move objects, in a game with this many objects, is a blatantly bad idea.
By the way: I'm not sure how the mobile version does it, but smartphones could easily support a two-finger drag-to-scroll option that isn't available on most computers.
As I was shooting dragons which couldn't reach me because I was protected by a pit, a runestone and a patch of fire, it occurred to me how fortunate it is that dragons can't fly.
Admittedly, a little disagreement's no reason to be hateful... so it's a good thing downvoting a comment isn't really an expression of hate (even if some people might use it that way). It can simply mean that someone disagrees and can't be bothered to actually type a response...
@ATBu Considering that 30,804 have the badge, it seems likely that people have managed to make sense of the instructions. To be fair, it does also use wasd or the cursor keys (arrow keys, that is)... but considering your nice Kong level, I'd think you'd be familiar with them by now.
Well, guess I'll give up. The game's refusing to save progress past a certain point; I import a file exported just under 14 hours ago, and it consistently reverts to an older state (and helpfully notes that it's been offline for over 1 day and 2 hours). This was happening yesterday too, and I even reloaded from a file saved before the point it got stuck and continued from there, but it didn't help. Maybe I can avoid it by restarting completely (obviously, lots of other people have been fine), but I'll never know if my game's doomed until it happens.
Maybe not ideal, but if it's not saving for you, use the Export File option in Settings. I'd recommend getting into the habit of using it even if it is saving, in case things go wrong. These incremental things can take a long time, so if you want all the badges, it'll be painful if your save stops working after a few weeks. Also, as Eternitus mentioned, you'll want to capture slimes to get your autopickup, because this isn't a game to actually play actively most of the time.
To the people downvoting any comment mentioning liking anything by the game: I get that you hate this series (and that's fine), but doing that isn't going to stop them being BotD. You just make yourself look bad by disagreeing with anyone who thinks differently than you do. Just find the comment that tells you how to get the badge while playing (looks like Flypool provided this one) and save yourself the frustration. And, for people who do want to play but it doesn't seem to be loading: are you doing stuff on another tab while waiting? The game won't load in an inactive tab. I don't know why.
So, does it seem weird to anyone else that Dregg claimed a woman likely wouldn't have been strong enough to stab the victim multiple times with a non-pointy knife when Tira's just a few steps away? I have no doubt she could disembowel someone with a spoon, especially if they commented on her love life.
@scorchx: Most games on this site require Flash, so they don't get chosen as BotD anymore. There are so few non-flash games, it's a surprise this one's only been chosen twice this year.
@sebas_ben You probably won't see this, but for anyone with the same problem: you can use an autohotkey script to be able to drag without holding the button. Set a key with the command "Click, D" (without quotation marks) to start dragging and a key with "Click, U" (likewise) to stop. It mightn't work in all games, but it does in this - I tried it.
That "taking damage from standing at the edge of the platform" thing some people mentioned seems to happen if you go right up to the edge (far enough that you might expect to slip off), then go back away from the edge again. If you don't turn back, you're safe (going by what I've managed to test).
Because the Patience achievement descriptions are unclear on this: you can upgrade as much as you like, then downgrade again for the achievements (keep fire rate up, of course, because it doesn't care about that). It's possible there may be something else it ignores (there could be an "and" in the cut-off part); I haven't tested this.
To those people who hate these games, here's a tip: simply don't play them. What's the reason to suffer through it? The points don't do anything but raise your level (which itself is meaningless), the chat stickers you can buy with blocks aren't very useful when the chat system's almost nonexistent (besides, how many would you use anyway?) and you only need five for the shiny (not that that matters much either). Just save yourself the aggravation.
Keyboard controls for pretty much all of these games (unfortunately not listed under instructions here): z/enter/return: select/interact; c: open menu or cancel; page down: skip text; arrow keys: move. You can also select with space, but that'll scroll the page, so it's not very practica.
@toasterfuel One tip: backup your save so you can continue if it stops being available here (what with the impending demise of Flash). EBF5's on BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, so it'll still be available. As to Lance specifically: debuffs may help you survive, and to get him to actually surrender... well, if you try the right limit break, he'll at least give a hint.
You can also just save the Flash games you like from Kongregate, Newgrounds, etc. and use a standalone Flashplayer. You don't even need BlueMaxima's app if you're just after a few specific games.
For those dreading losing access to this game when Flash dies: look up Bluemaxima's Flashpoint (https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/) which will let you play it (and a ridiculous number of other Flash games) after Flash is gone.
If you don't care about score, you don't need to care about the time limit and dying is just a shortcut back to the carrier. Even if you do, -100 per death is pretty mild. Would've been nice if Q and E had been listed in the controls, though.
Due to technical shortcomings in the engine these games were made in, they won't continue loading if you're in another tab. Another window's just fine, though.
