The game is old... It has been hosted on many other sites before it appeared on Kong.
@Lorebass The game has NOT been on Kongregate for over a year. It has been illegally uploaded from submitters claiming to be the author. Kongregate deleted the game as soon as they found out though. This is the real version, finally submitted. Enjoy it and anticipate the next.
Did you create Wiz 3? I use to play Wiz 3 all the time on this site..... http://ww1.freearcade.com/Wiz3.jav/Wiz3.html and for some reason the sound effects and graphics reminded me of it.*
I find this game to be boring unfortunately. All you do is upgrade your virus, wait, and watch. Even in Super fast motion it takes forever to gain points (realistic mode). I can't find any strategy involved and it seems to be a game of luck. The only reason I could see myself playing this game in the future is to obtain the badges. I must say that this game is one-of-a-kind however and it could use some game play improvements. Great idea, bad execution.
Another common misconception is that there is some sort of "super card" and that is just not true. EVERY card has his/her specific strengths and weaknesses. You couldn't possibly know what your opponent is choosing, let alone who your opponent is (if you’re playing random matchmaking). This means you can never prepare for what cards they have. Feel free to correct anything I have typed.
@BammBlue...
First off there is no statistical data that shows most people choose rock in a game of rock, paper, scissors. Besides that, if you play a game of rps with some1, chances are you know them and you know their way of thinking. You can hardly relate that to kongai in which you face random multiple people. I could just as easily choose scissors first because I know that you're going to use paper. The odds are always the same in rps.. 33% chance of winning EVERY time. The only true strategy in kongai is to learn your opponent’s way of thinking and use that to your advantage. However, this is only a strategy and does not increase your chances of winning. Almost all of the hit ratios in this game are below 100% which means luck can always take effect…..
I figured this would be some lame attempt at a game but when I started playing I realized it was quite the opposite. You did a great job of making the cards I earned useful and the game play is very original with the addition of close and far range. It's not perfect but with some slight alterations it would be borderline perfect in my opinion. First make the leveling system useful and appealing. I could care less if some kid looks at my level once and dismisses it (no one cares). Integrate it into the game play. Second I would add a tournament system in which the winner automatically wins something (like a card). Next, I would make the challenges end in 3-4 days. I know it would be hard to create a new card this regularly but this would ensure that the real Kongregate gamers wouldn’t have to wait so long and the casual gamers would be more encouraged to play more frequently. These are just thoughts and I would be pleased to see one of these ideas go to good use.
The trick is to jump right before the shell hits your head. Continue to do this and keep it as straight as possible and you'll have the badge in no time.
The snail shell combo is very easy once you get the hang of it. Im at the top of the high scores list and I challenge all who dare to beat it. Just give me a shout one you've done it so I can beat your score as well. ;)
Been playing for like a whole month and I finally just got fish thankfulness badge. Just make sure you jump up WITHOUT a tail slide when you get 20-tuple combo so that you can get your first starslide. After that, jump up with a tail slide while staying as horizontal as possible and you should be able to reach at least the first starslide. Just continue to starslide and make sure to have at least 20 seconds to fall back down. Tail slide on your last jump and hope you hit enough star slides to make it to the restaurant.
