For those struggling with the hard badge, look at the first page of the "best" comments for the game and you'll see that a snake-like wave without jumping is the best for gaining speed. With this tunnels and gates appear quickly and are actually quite easy to gather, and an 80 combo becomes easier (not easy). To this I would add patience. If a jump comes along, just jump it and dont fret over the combo. They'll be other chances.
Yep, turns out I was inherently bad at the game. A quick look through the comments.. and the "shaky snake" technique applied. 3 attempts, 84 combo. Thank you clever Kong users.
I must be just inherently bad at this game.. I have no idea how to get that 80x combo. Can't even seem to fully understand the mechanism for keeping it. Ah well. Still enjoyable. Restart.
Not really understanding the complaints. Doommaster - for starters his time isn't free. The guy needs to live. Amongst a million other things that can cost money making a game like this. Why don't you try doing it if its so cheap and easy/
Ravnos - if it was all about the money he'd have premium content and adverts everywhere. Instead he's released the game free. Just because its slightly different on two websites hardly should matter to us users. Unless we are greedy. Its still a free highly enjoyable game.
Got to agree with all the comments. Its a good game, but the "maybe later" advertising is cynical, not having a restart option is flawed, and not telling us how many cards left in the deck is bizarre. Its also frustrating for first time players that it is not always clear what certain cards do. Why not just explain when a card first appears what it is!
Actually, having got to the ice levels, it is incredibly frustrating that you cannot retreat, or control what your units actually attack. So many horsemen just go charging off into futile battles, it makes the game unmanageable and unfun, which is a huge shame because overall it is very very promising.
