I see some improvements with the first chapter of the saga, but something is definetely worse. The combat is better because you have the exact order of fighters. The skill ability is very messy: it doesn't appear clearly when you can spend points to increase ability, the whole level up of skill system is unclear. There's no sense that you can purchase "healer IV" when you have not the 3 previous tier. In this way you can have "heal all" but not "heal", it make no sense. The whole game has to be tuned up.
For those like me who haven't understand what's "blast wave", it's the damage that the heavy gun does. Unluckily this is the weakiest weapon of the game, so just get your medium badge and then forget it.
A Bug: inside the cottage, if you click the blender, then the orange, then the blender again, you get stuck with the blender open and no way to continue.
Shame! On level 13 on first lauch my cat is so fat that it cannot reach the ground and it's stuck there: it's 10 minutes it is going up and down without reaching the bottom :(
What I don't like of this game is that reaching a very long distance is pure luck since avoiding spikes is impossible at the speed the turtle travels...
In my hopinion badges aren't balanced: it is impossible that destroying 29 castles and destroying 29 castles with a gold medal are of the same difficulty.
I'd like to have the map improved. For example: a red spot showing where you are at the moment. A different color (or a star, or a quest reminder...) beside each spot on the map that works as a reminder for where you have been and where you still have to go. Nice game anyway.
To gain the hard badge start making all the challenges without upgrading the car. Leave just the "finish in...", the "longest jump" and the "longest drift: 200" in the 5th track. Once did it, upgrade only the steering and make the longest drift challenge by turning inside the track several times not giving full gas. Then fully upgrade the car and get the last challenges.
I'm not able to get the "gentle giant" badge: it seems there are not enough yellow shapes :(
I did it a lot of time without getting a red shape but the best I achieved is a 75... how it is possible that it is just a medium badge!
