coldfusion- the last stat(listed in helpfile as Projectile speed) is the one increased by "rate +1"- so I am guessing they got switched on the help display.
I am staring at "pack your backtrack", bronze exit with 4 money bags and 3 gates in inventory, trying to figure out how so many people picked up the gem without falling into the pit... and suddenly I remembered if Questy sees two money bags, he'll go to the closest one first.
On the "sweet lure of meat", how did they determine gold and silver stars? I get a "gold" if I still have 2 coins, 2 cages, and 2 meat left over, but I only get a silver if I have 3 coins, 1 cage and 5 meat left over... thats 3 less items used for a lower grade!!!
Phil- my profile shows I got credit for Badge of Day for kongpanions, but I didn't get a "you've completed Badge of Day" display when I logged on game (I had previously done achievement back in 2010)
some of the quests are bugged. Although I DID get gems, the one time I found them, the "raid resource" quest only registers about 1/4 the time when I raid.
style error- mines show "empty me" icons after short time (15 mins? 1 hour) despite being no where near full (If a mine takes 7 hours to fill, why are you bugging me when it has 20??)
and of course alchemist appears useless so far. I can understand why they don't want to make ALL your kong friends "friends" (it overloads many similar games), but you should still have some sort of "in game" selection to add friends)
since walkthru is busted- Chapter 5
you need blanket (from bum), pipe, soap, scarf, cord, then use blanket on wire... grab lighter, newspaper combine newspaper with soap, use on door, then use pipe on door...enter room. grab gasoline, move floor boards. combine scarf, gas. then with pipe, finally with lighter, drop in hole. drop cord in hole. go down. - puzzle, 1, 5, 7 in 4 digit combo, 3 mistakes.. try 7's until 2 show up, then other two are 1 and 5, you get immediate feed back, so you should have combo by 3rd attempt at worst
During raids, auto attack reduces the fight to one round- which is why both your damage and the creature's damage go way up.
Non-premium health/energy regen (so far) is weighted- you'll go from 0-Full in 60 minutes.
The "friends" function isn't very well adapted to kongregate (i can only access about the first 50 of my kong friends, whether they play the game, don't play the game, or are currently in the kong chat room)- and I can't request stuff from my friends, although I can recieve requests.
when searching for public raids, you need to check all 3 types individually- if a "hard" boss says "normal", it just means no raid buffs have been cast on it.
getting disconnected is annoying, and will cause you to repeat actions. You get 1 Megabuck for free when leveling, premium access costs 49 bucks, and top level appears to be 50- so don't get lazy and use the 'collect everything for 1 megabuck' option, unless you're spending money
raid damage is confusing- if I use Auto-attack, I generally do 5-10 times as much damage as when I don't use it- is there some skill i should be activating, or is that crits?
unfortunately ,too many like death don't know you can put all 3 troops on same row.
For me, I was doing one each, then one of my units lost twice (different rows). then I got brainstorm, and decided to close one gate by putting all 3 on shortest row. (you don't need extra man to attack citadel, defeating last enemy in FRONT of citadel kills fort)
Bombs were helpful, faster mana recharge and more troops allowed weak unit to start winning again.
Better than the other game of same name, although pictures/items are small. I did appreciate that objects you were looking for were same size and orientation.
5 star achievement bugged- it is supposed to be for 5 stars on 5 different maps, but I recieved the in-game achievement for doing level 1 3 times, and then levels 2 and 3. Kongregate achievement seems tied to in-game one, so also recieved that one early as well
Darkslash, I think your comment is unneccesary. You complain that you can't restart from you last save point after rescuing someone... because you wanted more coins. If you are still looking for coins, DON'T pull the rescue handle.... I am not sure about your comment about "going through the wrong door". I've only played 8 levels, but you can ALWAYS double back- the monsters/hearts reset, but you can return to any section. As was reported by itamrpink, you can always hit the "menu" button, and see if your current character has any unfinished goals.
uallheshes- I am frankly AMAZED you got the chess puzzle without the preview. most of the others I can see it, but that one must have taken you forever to do. With the preview, it took me under 2:14, because I had trouble making out the pieces. But studying each piece, trying to find one where nothing moved down, so you could put on the bottom row...
