Whine whine whine... If you guys didn't WANT a challenge, maybe you shouldn't be trying to get a HARD badge? The Dragon is easy, set the sword to follow the shield and then move the shield. Done. Weight keeps the game from being too easy (the story mode is already pretty easy as-is). A 'Self-Destruct' button or a 'Give Up' button might be a nice feature which was overlooked, but it's not make-or-break. This is an awesome game that actually has some bite to it what with the challenges. :D
Ugh, I feel like a fool... But Easy mode was harder than Hard mode was. There has to be something wrong with me if I'm finding Hard mode giving me 250+ scores on each level, where as I barely get by in Easy. Either way, all the badges are mine, and I REALLY like this game. Too bad there isn't a pause button, but really, though, would that even help? Perhaps a delay between levels in the form of a continue button. Woohoo!
The best way to play is to turn your mouse sensitivity all of the way up, and twitch! Haha, I wish I was kidding... :D
The difficulty level isn't that bad... After about level seven or eight I actually DIED once. The last levels were pretty intense, and I had to use a lot of planning to get shots that would make the enemies bounce in a different direction. It was an AWESOME game indeed. The bonus levels are pretty challenging, too, which is what I like! It's earned all five stars in my book.
Challenge four: Make the shield follow the sword. Move the sword around in a circle. I JUST beat it on my FIRST try for today... My THIRD try in total. DO IT! :D
StrikerX22, the idea of the game isn't to collect EVERY little item in the game. If it was then you'd have a town to sell stuff and whatnot (which was what I was waiting for on my first play through). When the player gets to level two and sees that there is no town, they'll figure out that it's not a care bear "Everyone Goes Back To Town All Happy!" game.
If you don't like it don't play it. No one is forcing you to play it. :P
Dear everyone that hates this game because it's "too hard"... Awww, poor babies can't beat this game eh? Hating a game because it's hard is one thing, but hating a game because it's too hard to beat it on the first or second time through is just pathetic! What kind of game would it be if you were able to beat it so easily? I'll tell you, it's be a pretty boring game, that's what.
Be happy that this game isn't a cakewalk, and start walking the cake! Or don't. :D
