It's fun to have to train your brain to think a whole new way to get these circuitboards working. The biggest issue I have is that all my complex machines produce a big load of random garbage before they get synched up properly, and my biggest hurdle is usually getting the garbage cleared with the correct timing so that the finished products can be delivered. I wish you could start the tile-copiers in the off position!
This desperately needs to be RATED DOWN. Not because it lacks merit--it's invaluable for completionists--but because it's threatening to overtake the game that it's a WALKTHROUGH FOR in the monthly contest, which would be both tragic and hilarious. Show your appreciation for Mardek 3 by rating -it- 5/5, it deserves it!
I was a little disappointed to play all the way through Masochist mode and find that there were no new cheats...just the same ones you get for beating it on Regular.
The game is a blast, but it labels me a Cheater no matter what I do. This is going to be frustrating as hell once this otherwise awesome game gets its badges.
To those complaining about mutually exclusive traits--Michael Jackson is a great example of someone who was Very Rich, and Deep In Debt all at the same time. The man died flat-ass broke, owing millions, while living in a mansion with a veritable army of personal staff.
Great little time waster! 5/5
Found a minor bug though--when you finger the wrong suspect, you can click Solve again and you are now stuck--you need to reload the game to exit.
*Yawn* The controls are lackluster, the goal is ambiguous..the interface looks like some thought went into it. With a bit more practice, I can see this artist giving us some innovative games.
To those who are confused about the flower: The appropriate gift varies according to the dragon's temperament. Any of the peaceful dragons will flick away the money, too...if you want your dragon to accept the flower, quit stomping on humans. :p
The only issue with this game is that when any player is eliminated, the player after them loses their turn. Aside from that, this game is a nice, simple and fun distraction.
It amuses the heck out of me that this game was made to 'teach us a lesson' about overvaluing upgrade systems and ignoring the game itself...and people LOVE it. Despite that the actual game part is extremely lackluster.
Definitely needs some serious work....the game only becomes challenging when you click outside the clearly marked path in an effort to make the probe thing move faster...in short, the player makes the game harder and more frustrating because the clear solution means waiting for the probe to catch up, over and over and over. Some serious points lost when we're left to make things hard on ourselves because we're -that bored-
SPOILER ALERT
The easiest way to kill the red queen (without using items) is to just stand perfectly still, and swing as she starts to lunge at you. You have to get the timing just right, but once you get used to that, she's generally pretty easy.
The razor queen is a tougher beast altogether. When she lunges at you, you can easily sidestep and take a swing--just make sure your sword arc is going to hit her body and NOT her claws, as getting stunned will mean you are easy prey.
The hard part is just surviving long enough to get her to lunge at you five times...
