I'm not normally the type to say these kinds of things, but I feel like I understand less of what I'm supposed to be doing after the tutorial than if I blindly stumbled around trying to figure out the rules...? I don't know if this a language barrier issue or if they just forgot to include an actual description of what was going on. How is something this simple so complicated?
Wait, do the weapons really reset to what their default fire mode was when you switch back to them from your sidearm instead of keeping what you had them set to?
Wow, reading some of the complaints about the 'medium' badge, I wonder how I even got it back in 2011... I know I'm typically not very good on the reflexes.
Doesn't matter, because I've got my retroactive BotD and my rating of this game was middling, so I must have not liked it too much.
is there something I'm missing? The difficulty seams to spike like crazy at level 4. Does it have something to do with my slow computer? Like the spawn syncing is thrown off? And, nothing ever fires at the planes until they've passed by the tower with how slowly the guns turn angle. There seems no why to avoid being pumbled... What's up? Also, using the eye sometimes makes me unable to click/drag anymore. I'm not on chrome. I'm sure I'm running latest version of the game.
It must be my junk PC, right? Even without sending waves early, I have huge crowds ganging up on me.
~continued for the last time~ Great, right when I decide to quit "Cursed Treasure: Level Pack!" gets the daily badge I was waiting for to motivate me to play it. No, I will NOT be tempted. If I don't quit now, I likely never will, and the stress will kill me. NO MORE!
~continued~ But, even though I have never been skilled at many types of Video Games, I have some love for most every genre of Video Game ever conceived. Through Let's Plays, I can experience Video Games I never would, or could, play myself; relive Video Games I have played through before; be introduced to games I'd have never known about otherwise; and see the Video Games I loved (or hated) from many differing points of view, all in great detail. So, while I am sure that leaving Kongregate will mean that I will miss out on many great things to come, it just is not for me anymore. Besides, one person can only do and experience a finite number of things in their lifetime. Goodbye. ~continued~
~continued~While Newgrounds and the like may be nice for their animations and parodies, Kongregate will always have a special place in my heart, if only for being the crucial stepping stone that led me to finding out about the other great entertainments and communities the internet had to offer me. From playing Mardek RPG for the first time, which lead me to follow fighunter.com, who's forums coincidentally led me to my favorite indie game of all time "Iji", which introduced me to the realm of Let's Plays. Let's Plays, which are a celebration of my favorite pastime and lifelong love of Video Games. I have never been good at games of skill and have always preferred to play games of strategy like RPGs where I can take my time and plan things out, ~continued~
~continued~ Then, when I fail to get there in time (and even when I do ), I feel like this website and these games are out to get me! This is not healthy. I know I should not let this get to me like this, but it does, so, the best thing I can do now is ignore this site altogether and quit cold turkey. I loved coming here at one time. This is where I discovered some of my favorite gaming experiences, which themselves led to even greater discoveries beyond this site, but now this is simply a chore that eats away at my sanity. I can't have fun with these games anymore. Even when the games the badges lead me to are of great interest to me, the time limit make it impossible for me to enjoy the experience. ~continued~
I can't take it anymore! This is a good game that runs well on my sub-par PC, but I can not keep this up. being forced to play a game every day nonstop is making go crazy. Most hard badges weren't meant to be taken on in one day (though this one realistically could be). This is aggravating my OCD too much. The only way I am going to be able to maintain a shred of composure is if I quit Kongregate altogether. When it was just weakly challenges, I could stop, take a break, and come back to it later and if I didn't finish the challenge in time, it was likely because I procrastinated, so I could blame myself and get over it. Now, though, I find myself spending entire Saturday evenings playing a single flash game, desperate to achieve some lofty goal that could take 10 hours when I only I only have 9 hours. ~continued~
Underneath the lack of polish, there is actually fun game to be had. 4/5 "Disclaimer: I was not subjected to the much complained about bugs, so I can not account for how playable or unplayable they may make your individual experience."
As much as I hate giving a low rating, 2/5.
Which is too bad, as it seems like a lot of work may have went into this, but suspect that may be part of the problem, as I have noticed a bad trend in web page and game design recently where things are so over-designed that they don't work properly. Sometimes they can good despite these flaws, but in this case, it is not so.
Yes!!! I finally beat it on Beginner, and with only 53 deaths. Even after you get the boss patterns down, it is still hard to keep the rhythm for the whole fight and losing the rhythm makes you dead.
I was surprised by how smoothly the game ran ( I actually tried opening a bunch of tabs to slow the boss fight down after I started getting killed by the low heath patterns, in vain ), and it gives me high hopes for all the games you put out for now on. I give it a 5/5. These games will most likely never go above a 4 Avg due to it's difficulty, but I bet plenty of people will play and enjoy all the levels.
Aww man, I didn't get the 50 Ks until 1 minute after the deadline. That's what I get for putting things off. Although the difficulty is low, the game works well. It is definitely not deserving of it's high joke score, but I will give it a 4/5.
When I saw the "Bears and the Bees Challenge" I thought to myself "now I have an excuse to finally get around to playing all of zeebarf's games". So I spent the evening playing through all 4 (including "The Visitor") and I enjoyed them all. 5/5 x4
I love this game! 5/5
Also, I'm one of the people who don't get a faster speed from the speed button, but the 1x speed is fairly quick and I prefer to go it slow anyway.
I got a height of 400 by stacking only straight pieces end on end before it toppled. That was a fun experiment that happened have a surprising result.
4/5
