@cherry, are you talking just beating the level, or getting brilliant? beating level 20 is very easy. Getting brilliant on level 20 is brutal, its by far the hardest level to do it, even if you play he map perfectly, you need good luck to get brilliant. I can d brilliant every try on every other map, but level 20 takes me many tries and luck.
friendly advice, this game is not like the other ones, meteor is not needed at all to beat it. Only for brilliant ratings (iron golems) fear does way more damage when you have the right skill upgrades and uses way less mana.
@Alan Keemdale, the caves are where your gems are stored. Notice after selecting the skill and starting a level your cave has a white dot circling around it, more of them for more levels in the skill. They regenerate, and shoot monsters if they get close. Its a must to 3 star some levels, like level 20 (along with blind luck)
@xetna, agree on level 20. It took me 30 tries on day mission, and 25 on night mission, to get brilliant on it. It is 100% luck based. All other levels were easy to brilliant, compared to level 20.
How is defeating level 21 a hard badge? The difference between beating level 21, and 3 starring all the levels, is like the difference between the size of a spec of dust and our planet. Beating the game is way too easy to be a hard badge.
Some advice for those with lag. The game like a lot of flash games has memory leaks. After you finish a level or 2, quit, close your browser, then reopen and reload kong and the game. Performance will stay high due to the memory leak being reset. The longer you leave it open, the worse it gets.
Quick tips. don't worry about the high ground bug, any of the later levels that are hard don't even have high ground placements, pointless even if it works. For amazons build 2 groups of towers far apart, first knocks them to half health, 2nd kills them while you uncharm the first group. Never let your mana get below 70, you need fear. Meteor is not the key to most maps. For divers, pray to the RNG gods. took me about 25 tries to brilliant map 20, and that's using the same strategy, needs too much luck on divers.
