I hate obnoxiously difficult achievements, but I couldn't help but think of a couple things that the masochistic type would appreciate.
Killing as few clones as possible - there were plenty of times that I realized I could take an alternate path to avoid a few deaths.
Keeping the original alive as long as possible/until the end - I'm not sure if it's entirely possible, but I think it should be. I was thinking there might be something story-related about not even know when you lost the original.
"Hey Joe, I'm missing 3 wheels, the whole left side of my van is gone, and I'm literally on fire. Do you think you could lend me one of those magical healing spare parts? Oh, you've got a dent in your fender? You're right, it would be totally better to use it for that."
Ah... Aah... AAAAHHHH!!! HOLY SNOOD I DID IT!!!
Oh my god, my game froze on level 26 with about 8 joker tiles, and I was seriously ready to give up forever. Thankfully it started working again and I managed to make it through.
Almost 5 years between the easy badge and the hard badge, but I finally did it.
My strategy was to aim for quadruples, primarily colors, in the first 10 levels. What that means is that you have 4 of each color. If that wasn't working out, I would try to get quadruples for symbols, which should be self-explanatory. Accomplishing that nets you some bonus tiles and a joker, which makes a tile fit anywhere.
I actually ended up with 9 spares, heh. So yes, very luck-based, but if you can manage to grab some jokers near the beginning, you can at least expand your margin for error.
Really enjoyed the game. The skipping early bosses is a nice feature, and it's great that you can toggle it on or off. It's fun to see how quickly you can kill the first couple bosses as you get stronger, but when you need to just make more money, they're not really worth the time.
My only suggestion would be the ability to toggle being able to see your hit box. I was never totally sure what parts of me could actually take damage.
Still, great game.
I see plenty of complaints about the "grindiness" of the game and the microtransactions, which are both completely legitimate issues.
But I have to say, the animation is incredibly well done. So props to the animators. Or whatever you call yourselves.
It seems to me that coming up with new ideas for puzzle games keeps getting harder, what with the vast variety there is to draw from, intentionally or not.
This game feels wonderfully original and different, and it's well put-together as well. Excellent job.
Great game. Tight controls - one of the few times I really never felt I could blame the controls for any of my deaths. Perfect difficulty for me - not frustratingly difficult, but challenging. Love the level design, too - every level felt like it had its own flow.
Good job!
This is the kind of game that teaches you that yes, there are in fact a good number of sadists in this world.
First and foremost - whoever the heck makes Kongregate Badges.
Super well made game, but gotta say, brutally difficult towards the end.
I found it interesting that, to me, the most difficult game mechanic/magnet to deal with was the first one introduced.
Those dang squirrely blue magnets...
Oh, and awesome music.
I've played a fair number of run/dodge games like this, but I don't think I've encountered one quite so satisfying. I found myself making "Hiyah!" noises when chopping up the bigger zombies... I'd say it added to the experience considerably. Love the art style and the sound effects - just a smooth, well-made game.
Good job!
This is just such a well made game. Besides the fact that everything just works and looks good all the while, the details show that the creators of this game really cared. The build-up of snow on the Dibbles as they walk around, the way their antenna/ear things lay down when they walk under something, the fact that they shiver while the game is paused - so much attention to detail. Way to go.
At the time of writing this comment, 115,219 people have earned the easy badge. Only 5,364 went on to get the final badge. That's 4.7%. Today, nearly 4 years after earning the easy badge myself, I have come to the end of my Pizzeria journey. Here's to adding my .000008%.
Huzzah.
Best part of the game:
The horribly violent, gory squish sound as the loser is stepped on accompanied by the smooth, soothing background music. And everyone smiles.
On my quest for the endurance badge, I have been reduced to trying to calculate the score ranges that correlate with each response... Yeah, it's kinda sad.
