You would have to play this game for a VERY long time to get back your investment in the gold machine. Seems like way too little considering how much you spent on it and the huge buildup to getting it working.
"Where is that ominous groaning coming from, Detective? Is it a ghost?"
"No, Dooley, it's just the player reacting to that last pun."
The humor, the 4th wall breaks, this game is comedy gold. And not a bad game at that.
This game COULD be really good with just a few minor tweaks. 1. Ability to upgrade running speed. 2. Make the car portions serve some kind of purpose, if nothing else they should help you progress through the level. 3. The death cutscene, brief though it may be, should be skippable. As it stands this game is a frustrating "meh" at best.
If you're going to say it's hot but not sweet, the Chocolate Milk - generally a sweet beverage, consumed cold - really should be named Hot Chocolate or possibly even Sugar-Free Hot Chocolate, to make it clear. Yes, the machine says "sugar-free hot drinks" but the labeling on the cup is confusing.
What this game really needs is some means of grinding up your multiplier aside from the big level up resets. The slog from X64 feels like a wall and I'm not looking forward to seeing what X128 brings.
So, are these games the product of taking drugs or of deliberately not taking drugs? Every time I think I've found the weirdest thing in the game, it finds a whole new level of weird.
Just completed the first puzzle. Let me see if I understand something. Dregg asked if it was worth two points to which Swaggy didn't respond. Later, Swaggy told the twins it would only be worth one point. When they finished, Swaggy announced that they had gotten two points. HUH???
Flaw in first mystery (spoilers ahead):
When asked where the contradiction lies in the guilty party's testimony, both the window and the time of the murder could be considered the contradiction, given that it is because of the time of the murder that the light would not have been in the window. If anything, the time of the murder is more directly what contradicts his story than the window itself.
Also, it's kinda silly that if you tell the judge the same incorrect answer which he then accepts from your competition a moment later, he fails you for it. This thing is clearly rigged.
There needs to be a tag for "Touchscreen Required" because there is no way I'd be able to move my mouse with the speed and precision required for those final levels. Without about 100 frustrating tried per level, at least. Maybe I'm just getting old and slow.
I would like to add my voice to those calling for a continuation of the game's content. I've enjoyed it as a nice variant on the idle adventurer idea and would love to see more.
Actually, alive9333, You keep the leftovers. If you select that item the next day, it pops up with that many in stock. Perhaps if you had the patience to pay attention to such things, this game would be more enjoyable for you.
@DeadDigger: I'm not certain what combination of factors causes it to happen but sometimes, after 50 years are over you get what looks like a badly translated version of "We won't stay in a castle anymore" and have a 51st year with another, final, harder wave of enemies. It has been suggested on the forums that it has something to do with not using scrolls, my best guess is that it has something to do with having more militiamen than your town hall will allow to convert into peasants (by using the People Preach belief and picking up some militiamen when your town hall is already full) since that seems to have been true when it's happened to me but again, I'm not certain what all factors into it.
An open letter to the people at Kongregate headquarters:
To whom it may concern,
The creative head of Flipline Studios is clearly suffering from some kind of mental illness. Perhaps s/he suffered PTSD working a dead-end menial job and is forcing themselves and all of us to relive their experiences over and over through the endless spawning of additional Papa's games. Regardless of the source of their illness, it seems cruel, both to the designer and to us, to encourage its propagation by making these Papa's games Badge of the Day with the frequency they have been. I would ask, for the sake of the designer at Flipline Studios and for our sake, that you consider no longer feeding their illness by promoting these cancerous games through the Badge of the Day.
Sincerely,
The other 99% of Kongregate users.
