The instability issue is NOT fixed. I still constantly get disconnected (only on my connection at home, not at work). It makes no sense. Maybe it's a firewall issue? My dorm internet has one I guess.
a) i hate having to reload the damn flash and images for this game every time. it's like 40 megabytes. if you play for an hour it's like 100 mb. why can't the stuff be cached or saved. b) connection to the server constantly drops. 2/5
Evershade forest takes about 3 hours of almost perfect playing (killing all monsters almost every time). I think finishing the game takes about 6 hours, probably more since leveling up takes longer as you go on.
So many problems with this otherwise great game. Disgustingly sloppy controls, link to play the game to a different site (why the hell would I want to do that), slowest loading times of a flash game. 2/5
Finally! I got one of the hardest badges on Kongregate! My upgrades for the last challenge were 0-2-2-2-4-3. Go at a steady pace, avoid all obstacles, and dance around the police. Always try to bump the police cars down/up, not just from behind (smash the cactus or poles). Kill the helicopter as soon as it shows up, the mines do the worst damage.
Get as many achievements as possible. Don't bother with the Gangster one (keeping henchmen alive), it's not worth it. The rest aren't so tough. With 23 achievements you get 6900 Soulons for the challenges.
I - Upgrade speed, steering, tires. Buy the adrenaline. Use the shots on stretches of coins in a row.
II - Smash the helicopters, avoid damage. Don't hit cops.
III - 3.85 miles. Upgrade tires, steering. Keep to the left and middle. Wipe the birdcrap ASAP.
IV - 42 civilians. Use the adrenaline shots.
V - 70 seconds. I used 3-3-0-3-2-2. Use the adrenaline shots to blow through the barriers in case mines are in the way (you take less damage).
Hey, welcome among the heroes ;)
