Oh, and I love objectifying women as much as any pathetic male... but panning to the girls arses at the Betfred is tacky. Beautiful girls, yeah, sure, fine. But I'm not a f*cking sleaze so don't force me to be one you lecherous wankers.
The first Leeds match, for example, had two cutscenes. One at half time when I was told we should be "at least one up". This explains why I had one chance in the first half only. So I couldn't ruin the cutscene by scoring twice. In the second half I had no chances, so we lost 3-1 after I took my one chance. Then another cutscene about our loss. This is frustrating, because I feel the game predetermined my loss for the sake of having this cutscene now. I never stood a chance of winning the match, or even drawing. So why should I play if the events are largely predetermined regardless of my actions?
Its also a little frustrating that I only get one chance in an important match to do anything. I take it and we lose 3-1. Yes a game can incorporate randomness (although I strongly suspect that match events a predetermined... e.g. pressing f5 mid-game - laudably - does nothing), but if I'm left feeling that I cannot influence my own gaming experience then why should I feel involved at all?
The difficulty of shooting in training vs anything else is completely disproportionate. Having copied the entire concept of New Star Soccer you'd think they'd at least keep the playability factor.. Very frustrating
I THINK, although its hard to confirm, that the "boss" for the badge is only found in the very outer rims of the world. Mine was 3 bubbles away from the edge. Once you have a shield just head in one direction outwards.
I really hope Kongregate comes out and actually explains to its users what went wrong, why this game initially had such a high score, and how it came to be given a badge when it is so patently broken. It is high time that Kongregate acknowledged its mistakes and gave users a cathartic explanatory apology. Come on Kongregate. Show you actually give a poo about your users opinions.
I'm pretty sure that this game is programmed so that you lose a ball if you don't break some balls within a certain time. So it doesn't actually matter how good the shot is, and whether you break balls, but rather how long it takes between you firing, and breaking a ball. This is stupid for a number of reasons, chief of which is that the game lags by at least level 4 on a normal computer (because of the colours and number of balls). Thus the game cannot cope, and times out perfectly valid shots, such as bombs or bouncing shots. This poor programming makes the game broken. Please delete the badge Kongregate.
For those who don't think the game is buggy. If you get to level 4 the game basically implodes. Bombs lose lives, as does bouncing it off the walls. Renders the game futile.
This is one of the rare games that punishes you for being good at the game. If you shot too fast, you "miss", if your shot is complicated, and hits the back wall before making a valid combination, then that is also a miss. Utterly baffling. Bloody hell Kongregate. Screen your games before giving them badges
This game is broken. It gives you misses when you shouldn't (even after you factor in that you have to wait for it to finish its silly animation). It also kills you if you leave the screen for any length of time (say to write a comment).
Please kongregate, actually show us users that you listen and suspend this game's badge until it has been fixed. The game is far too buggy to realistically play.
Ah my mistake, its not punishing you for using a bomb. It punishes you when you are too quick. The game is forcing you to wait until its pathetic exploding animation before you take your next shot, otherwise it will count it as a miss. Just as bad. Punishing you for being quick.
A bomb counts as a missed shot? That's insane. The game is just punishing me arbitrarily. Doing really well? Here's a bomb, you've missed a shot, hah.
Pathetic game.
Right. Got the badges, so I gave this game a fair go. Giving it 1/5 because it truly wasn't fun. I'm good at this kind of game and doing precision jumps and movements. Never have I encountered such a terrible combination of unresponsiveness AND over-sensitivity (something I previously thought was an impossible paradox). Combined with a poor frame rate this meant that you were not battling the game, but just hoping for luck. If you want the badges, be prepared to fail countless times through absolutely no fault of your own. This game is, in my opinion, utterly broken.
