This game has 2 distinctions... 1) It's been badge of the day more than any other game on this site and 2) It's the worst game ever made. I'm going to dig out my Atari and see if I can find my copy of ET. It's concept of falling into pits is a bit more advanced than this game.
Fact #1: Hey, this is probably the best solitaire game I've ever played! Fact #2: Solitaire, while an amusing diversion, relies a great deal on luck and makes no sense to have badges for. Why not have badges for winning the lottery? Hey everyone, you win a million kajillion Kongregate points if you win the lottery. Yaaaaaay?
Already having completed a badge of the day is no longer valid, you have to do it again? Completed the pixel quest yet I no longer have the badge? Quite lame. Couldn't redo the fairway badge either. What's the point if you have to do it twice every time? What about the hard badges of the day? Pretty bad decision to make, Kong. Repetition does not = fun.
Technician: Sir! The crew of our multi-million dollar rocket have valiantly sacrificed their own lives to destroy the enemy's vastly inferior biplane.
Administrator: Fantastic! Write a check for $300. That ought to cover everything, right?
Should be an unlockable Romney survival mode. Click repeatedly to lower taxes and wait for money to trickle down. That should extend the game-length indefinitely.
Ah yes, a game where you have absolutely no control over anything. Who would voluntarily play this? Why not just pick up extra hours at work? It's actually less frustrating and you make money.
Played it for an hour and a half, so definitely fun! Always loved the series. However, as people have pointed out, it's got some major bugs. Since it's not main page right now, it's still a work in progress, I suppose. Achievements 66, 73, 180, 181, 262 and 263 were unlockable for me. Also, if you already beat the hamster king, just reload your save and it will start you off right before you suck him down the tube.
Have to unlock so much stuff to even have a fighting chance. Tap (which I'm assuming is the faucet-shaped level. Who knows, since no levels are labeled.) is pretty much impossible without unlocking everything else first. No way it's a medium badge when you have to invest hours into it. Absolutely no gradual difficulty curve. Game went from playable to impossible within one wave. Got to about wave 45 before the difficulty sky-rocketed to unbeatable. One badge of the day that's simply not worth it.
Great fun! Like a lot of people said, would be nice if you could time explosions to do damage, although the explosions themselves with the shrapnel are quite satisfying. The shield recharge thing seems weird. If you take one hit at 99%, it has to start all over, even if it's just one bullet. Started day 5 with 99% armor, didn't take one hit to my armor, yet didn't get the achievement because I didn't start the level with 100%. Would be nice if repairing was on a sliding scale. Otherwise, love it and looking forward to more!
