What is the benefit of owning the statue of a cactus? Good question. Having such a statue in your possession will give you the power to drop a giant concrete fist from the sky, crushing everything in your path.
To tell the truth, this is a great game. Unfortunately, I just won't give it more than three stars because of the terrible story writing, and the gameplay is too slow. I can't play for more than half an hour because it is too slow. On top of that, the sensitivity is WAY too high, just tapping my arrow key makes the crossbow move up really high. It's too hard to aim accurately. It's sad because this game could have been my favorite on Kongregate. The story itself is amazing. However, because of these inconsistencies, it gets a three from me.
I'm reading the story for Chapter 3 right now and already my head is spinning. I'll start from chapter 1. If the king is consumed by shadows, why did he give you a ragtag army to fight off the rebels, his at the moment greatest enemy, when, as the rebel leader later puts it,"He can turn his squires into powerful knights!" Then, after you are "kidnapped" by the rebel leader, he asks for your help. Forcefully taking you and then threatening your life is not a great way to gain trust. Also, why does he ask you if you know the history of the war? Of course you do. You're only the great commander of the king himself. Finally, at the point when the rebel leader's soldier breaks in and tells him the news of the invasion, why then? the walls have been breached and the catapults and trebuchets destroyed. Why did they then think "Oh, hey, you know what would be great right now? Our commander." I have more, but I'm out of space. This story needs to be much less flawed.
How to recover from any injury, even something like a heart attack: hit burgers with a mallet. Be warned, hitting apples will cause the apple god to smite you and decrease your health.
"Excuse me, god sir! I was out on a stroll in this zombie-infested area and have lost tools that I was carrying for no reason at all by placing them in randomly-spaced caches five feet from here and forgetting about them. Please return them to me, and I will pay you a small fortune which I also happen to be carrying with me."
For everybody else stuck on the robot boss "His name's Blocko" and can't understand why the kitty can't scratch him to death, I'll give you a hint: The ceiling spike monsters aren't there just for decoration. Try using them against the boss. Press + if this helped so others see.

At what point can you say you have officially learned to fly? when you can say you have launched a rocket-powered sandbag copy of yourself with a helicopter attached to its back at a snowman, snow mound, mountain, iceberg, and giant wall in that order and have broken them all. Better invest in titanium-coated sand.
Truck stop literally one foot from the helicopter? Damn it! I have to push the car the whole 9000 or so feet back to the station! Helicopter Guy: Uh, dude, just climb in. You: Nah, man, you just sit there a couple months or so, I have to make the whole distance!
I'm not trying to be a hater here, just pointing out a few ways this game could be improved, as it is definitely on my list of favorite Kong games. One big problem is defense: the thirty minions you can employ to defense are not nearly enough when the game starts throwing armies at you, especially since refilling them after they die can cost a lot of money. Even if you go to the moon base, which one would assume is the easiest because only infantry attack, I find myself overwhelmed by the enemies sometimes, and barely survive. Even the defense powers are not strong enough. This game starts off too easy and gets too hard too quick. Conversely, the countries take too long to be destroyed. As I just said, you need to beat the game quickly or you will be overwhelmed, and the countries just don't fall. Finally, game isn't varied enough. It turns out to be the same long haul every time, which can make it quite boring. I hope this constructive criticism is used to improve this masterpiece.
