My only suggestion for improvement (beyond your continued balancing and tweaking, which is much appreciated!) would be to add a "drag to buy" system. That would make things MUCH easier when filling in empty spaces after the occasional nuclear meltdown.
Also maybe a counter at the bottom showing us how many civilians we've killed and/or mutated with our foolish mistakes.
This was the first game I ever played at Kong. Got my first badge waaaay back in May of 2008. It got me hooked on flash gaming and I've stuck around ever since. Thanks, time travelling robot.
Bug : I lost two talent points. Started a level and had a talent point. Gained another shortly after. I accidentally shot a penguin so I returned to world map and restarted level. I had lost both points I spent and the points had not been returned to respend. I was at the same level (21) as when I quit. Permanent loss of talent points.
You're probably on the version in which was indeed bugged. Or rather, I totally forgot to include the saving code for when a player dies on a level (I rewrote the saving system, so I had to replace code everywhere). I patched it in about 5 minutes after realizing I missed it, so you're likely on that older version. If you refresh the page and then proceed to die in Campaign, it should save okay! Apologies for that my friend.
My suggestion is to add a "recheck" button. I use this to find the oldest unearned badge and play the game, get the badge, then have to refresh the page to see what the next oldest badge is. A button to update my badges would be very useful so I can just keep the program open.
Of course, that would lower your play count. :)
Pretty quick, easy to play, intuitive, and GREAT jazzy soundtrack. More games should be like this. I beat it in a reasonable time frame. Kind of sick of flash games that take days or weeks to beat. These are supposed to be time wasters, mostly for those of us who have jobs. Great job on this one.
Easiest 30 points ever!!! Seriously only grab artillery. I got a lot of multi kills from birds and bombs, so I had 6k left over after leaving on Day 11, but you may have less. Arty is all you really need.
