This is the kind of game that makes me wish I could give negative star ratings. Thank you so much to people who posted info on how to gain farming experience. Pulling debris from a pond is not an intuitive choice, and there is basically no explanation in game.
@D4MSTR8 (and other new players): you don't need to play the campaign in order. Personally, I found some of the later levels easier to handle, and I was able to use tactics I learned playing them to beat levels I had previously found frustrating.
Darn, I just tried to download the puzzle for May 4, 2020, and I got a "failed" notice. The suggested workaround from older comments, of calling up https://chat.kongregate.com/gamez/0020/4650/live/dailyPuzzle.xml and hitting refresh hasn't fixed it. I hope this isn't a long term problem since I love the daily puzzles.
The sort of game I wish I could give negative stars to; I already rated it 1 star last time it was BotD, so every time I'm forced to come back to it I want to rate it down even more. I get that with a music themed kongpanion it would make sense for this game to show up, but couldn't it be BotD for later in the week, like Saturday or Sunday when it is entirely optional? It is discouraging for the first BotD of the week to be something that no one likes.
I have one once with every class except barbarian. Part of the problem is the rage meter drops too fast to be able to recharge abilities. The other problem is that whenever I play one, I get tons of energy pools and equipment that boosts mana, which is useless for the class.
With how slow this game is to play, you should get a new card every time you win, and 5 gold when you lose, rather than the pointless award of 5 gold on a win and nothing on a loss.
When I try to do the daily puzzle for the 15th, it says "downloading" then "failed". I know someone had posted a way to fix this problem in the past, but it isn't working for me this time.
As CluelessWonder noted, today's daily puzzle seems to be off, as it is labeled "banana peel" but clearly shows somewhat reaching a mountain summit. The two previous days were likewise mislabeled.
Please stop giving the badge of the day to games that use WebGL. They are incredibly hard, if not impossible, for many of us to even load, let alone play.
I've discovered that the problem with lag is somehow connected with clicking. If I press and hold the mouse button, keeping the minigun shooting, it works alright. The moment I try clicking again, though, and control falls apart. So there is no ability to use different guns, and the minigun is an insufficiently strong weapon to win the game. I'm annoyed that I can't rate it at less than 1/5.
Nevermind getting this thing to load, this is a junky game that doesn't deserve any badges in the first place. I'm 100+ deaths in and I don't even know how much more of the first level there is.
esines is right that the game becomes a lot easier once you get through level 5 (when you get the sniper rifle) then level 6 (flamethrower), but it is still a junky game that should not have gotten a badge.
To bcmelak: it isn't obvious, but when you gain souls only by doing New Game +. You lose all your current progress but gain souls, and the abilities you gain from artifacts more than make up for having to start buying again.
It says "Click anywhere to start" but wherever I click, it still doesn't start. Too bad this unplayable game has one of the badges of the day this week.
