If you're going to keep putting these up as games of the day, Kongregate, at least let us give them another 1 star rating each time. That way, we can feel like we're getting a little bit of revenge for the torture we're being put through
If you thought this was pointless because you didn't get it or because you've never thought about harming yourself, _this_game_is_for_you_.
It gives you the tiniest taste of how difficult it can be to abandon self-harmful behaviors (self-mutilation, drugs, eating disorders, etc...) It puts these things in a light that people who don't suffer from them might understand; unhealthy relationships.
Obviously, there are people who enjoy playing this game. It has a 3.8 star rating, despite the fact that it gets dozens, if not hundreds, of new 1-star ratings each time it's put up as Badge of the Day.
I am not one of those people. Kongregate, we beg you, stop making these games the Badge of the Day. We can't bring ourselves to waste the fifteen minutes to half an hour to get the measly five points. It's just too painful.
The sweepstakes for this game is like those contests where you have to keep one hand on a car or you need to keep dancing or how many ghost chilies can you rub in your eyes. It's a test of enduring torture. Those who can endure 35 levels of this horrible game get entered for a handful of moderate prizes.
The level difficulties seem to be off. Six levels ahead of the recommended level and the final round of enemies have as many as I had at the beginning.
"You can go back and try levels again to earn back lives." I've done so, and there is no change to lives left. Also, when you've got a platformer that requires you to carefully place your character on a small area, the combined facts that your character bounces and that the small area (presuming it was once one of your previous characters) freaking _moves_ when you stand still on it, makes this an incredibly frustrating and not-fun game.
Wonder why it's the cleansing foam that is too hard on my computer. System handles almost everything short of a couple dozen monkey units on the field. But one engineer with cleansing foam slows things down to a crawl.
Liking a lot of this, but some of the building/upgrading possibilities, I'd like an explanation of _why_ I can't buy things. If I've got $600, a message saying I can't afford a $500 upgrade doesn't help me figure out what I need to do to afford it.
Dear Kongregate: Please don't include a game that _requires_ multiplayer in a quest. Can make it very difficult to complete that quest, if there aren't enough players.
"To get this badge, you cannot do anything that would detract from the intense frustration and hatred you will feel in playing through this game."
No thanks.
Blagh! For the love of criminy! I was 25 newsstands away from getting all of the achievements. Stop raising the freaking bar already. My OCD won't let me stop playing this game until I complete it! :D
Definitely something up with the math of the game. Currently have thirty billion and can't afford a ten billion manager. Lower-income businesses end up costing significantly more than higher-income ones. Etc...
New updates are awesome, but there seems to be an issue with some of the investments. Game is counting Lemonade Stand and News Stand as having over 400, despite having less than 300.
Please fix the animation. Even with the quality turned to "low" (in case the problem was with a slow computer), battles take forever. I have to watch the attacks and traveling and switches in slow-motion.
Poor controls, bad AI, and a difficult build system (couldn't figure out why I couldn't equip a gun until I realized I had to equip plating first). It would be better if each piece could be equipped or unequipped, rather than having to go in order.
And I would love it if my jackhammer bots wouldn't run away from their targets.
