i got this botd back a while ago and it was really hard, this has to be the hardest medium badge there, and i couldn't complete it in the same day.

Wait, the BOTD is for beating day 8, not day 4? I got the badge when the game came out but it took me more than a day.

It didn't save my progress from when I got the first badge? I'm going to have to do the whole thing from the beginning?! Screw that!

Well I completed a level and killed both boss's and still only have one star on a character, so it looks like the botd this week is impossible for me.

Extremely fun to play, and extremely well made! The most impressive thing to me has to be the boxes. I stepped between two at once to try and break the game, and instead, it just gave me them one after the other! Impressive!

I just got the 8-Day badge, and I don't have three stars on any of my Characters. So basically, I finished the game -- and I'm certainly not grinding for more stars. (Well, not unless Kongs adds more badges; then we'll see.)

I like to prioritize upgrading one of my weapons to blue before getting more green weapons. I usually end up getting my first red before I get a third blue.

hot tip: the signs don't show what will be in that specific wave, is shows what will be added to the roster of enemies for the rest of the run. so if there's an enemy that you really don't want to face (corn or cabbage for example) then you can choose to explicitly avoid those levels. I used this to win day 7, and probably day 8 too because in the end I got full 4 red weapons

Also, @Naud1234: 1) There aren't 2 final bosses in day 8 either. It probably only happens in the (locked) day 9. 2) rerolling stuff works off of Luck, if you have better luck you start getting first green and then blue weapons on them. It's good if, for example, you have a blue lasergun, and there's a green lasergun for sale and a random other weapon; you just reroll the other weapon until you get the other green lasergun and then buy one, upgrade with the other, then upgrade it with your old one (it will remain in the sale slot)

Well that took a bit of work to get. After the First Week should be a Hard badge (meanwhile, the Experienced Farmers badge is ridiculously easy to get)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
How the actual F do you kill 2 final bosses? They are FINAL bosses! I kill 4 bosses and don't even unlock the third star for a character. Do you seriously need to beat day 8 with a character to unlock the third star? Or do you need to do something else entirely?

I started on the 5th day having done the easy badge before. Took about 4 hours to get the 8 days with multiple failures. The laser guy with 4 normal lasers was the path for me.

After you win a day, it should tell you which day you've beaten and some stats like how many bosses killed, how many enemies killed, your level and maybe your powerups or weapons.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This is just a worse Archero (less interesting powerups after levels), but without microtransactions, so I have to give it that.

This game is confusing. What do those things above a weapon that say 2=1, 3=2 and 4=4 mean? It doesn't get explained anywhere. One requires the skill that makes that weapon stronger (it's under the damage with a percentage) and the other one requires Damage, Lucky Hit, Attack Speed or Reload Speed. What bonus do you get with that?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
"Discount" is written as "Discont" in the skill tree. "Range Gather" is written as "Range Gether". By the way, the skill tree barely makes a dent. Really low bonuses.

Get the second medium badge first to earn skill points so the first medium badge becomes easier, although it still takes about a workday to get it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game could really use DPS numbers for weapons to easily compare how strong they are. Especially one that takes into account the reloading time. Do ammo times attack speed + reloading speed. Then multiply the damage by the ammo and divide that by the number you got before. That's the DPS.

Beating day 4 ("easy" badge) took me 1.5 hours. The second medium badge took me only an hour since you can just beat day 1 and kill the boss with 7 more characters. The first medium badge should absolutely be a hard badge. It took me 3 tries to beat day 5 and it took me almost an hour (and only beat a single boss, so no 3 stars, good thing that's not required for yet another badge). I can't imagine how long it would take to beat days 6, 7 and 8. At least an hour each if I don't lose too often.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Experienced Farmers Badge isn't even that difficult. You can just get 2 stars for each character on day 1. After the First Week Badge is much harder, because you have to beat day 8, which is significantly more difficult than day 1.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It took 1.5 hours to beat 4 days. I hope it takes only 1.5 hours to beat the next 4 days, but considering the first day was really easy and the 4th day was pretty difficult already, I have a feeling this BOTD will take me like 3 hours.

some controller settings would be nice and information for theplanting...no idea what it does...does it get replaced if i pick 1? or it keeps adding up?

Noticed that the BotD is for this game and luckly i already had it, little tips for you folks, do a laser talent build with the +25% laser damage character, try to extend every stage till the last possible 1-2 seconds to maximize exp and gold, predilige the boxes/sunflower stages over the others cause you earn the most number of upgrades and the most quantity of gold and experience from them

They should really amp up the level of these badges.
"First Days on the Farm" is borderline medium.
"After the First Week" I guess should be borderline hard but I have not yet completed it so my opinion may change.
"Experienced Farmers Badge" must be hard. It took me two days just to get 2 stars with the first character, getting them with 7 more character must take a long time and badge level should also reflect how much time it takes to complete them, not just how skillful you must be.

How the heck is this an EASY badge!!! This is Medium absolute minimum. The 3 badges should be Medium - Hard - Hard with the time commitments involved.

It took me 4.5 hours of continuous play to get the medium badge using Joe (2x projectile count) with two Sawed-Offs and two Uzis. I focused on Health to tank my way through. Secondary focus was on Attack Speed, then Damage. Quite a tedious BoTD!

Pretty fun game overall, except I kept running into a bug on day 3 after I clear the 2nd or 3rd maps, I was stuck on the left side of the map and could only go up or down. No other keys worked notr even the Escape, so I ended up having to refresh my page.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I have yet to get the BOTD, but the strategy that works for me is:
run day 1 with each character once to get 2 star in each. Upgrade everything not buying guns. Higher day runs are Blind Joe with both kinds of shotguns.
Seems to work pretty well up to day 7 at least

Fun game. I agree with the comments that this is a bit extreme for a BOTD, but I won't hold that against my rating of the game. The game is like a mixture between something like The Binding of Isaac/Enter the Gungeon and Vampire Survivors. That combination makes for a good time, though there is obviously still some polish that could be done, as this is only a demo of the full game. Some enemies are a bit annoying in my opinion, and there should be a bigger cooldown between allowed hits on the player, as I've been in a bossfight and gotten instakilled by trying to run away from the boss, but ending up running on top of the boss and taking endless hits since there is little to no damage buffer.

For me there is some bug which I didn't have before, the E key stops working to take me to the next map after three or four maps.

It took me 1.5 hours to earn the "easy" badge (4 days), which was the last BOTD. Now the medium badge is the BOTD and we need to beat 8 days while each day gets significantly more difficult.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
They made the Day 8 badge the BOTD later this week. They have NO IDEA how long it will take to get that badge. Even the Day 4 badge is an inappropriate choice for BOTD. In fact, the easiest badge of the three is the other medium badge, the Experienced Farmers Badge. Glad I already have 5 other badges this week!

I completed each day by playing laser guy with 4 starting lasers and at least one upgraded to red. Spread out the box upgrades. For me to be comfortable I had between 70hp - 100hp on day 7,8,9 and have at least one of each seed and then stacking ice, shurikens, leaf seads. And don't forget to spend your money on boxes before final boss.

Enjoyable game, but the amount of time it takes to get the easy badge is what it used to take to get a hard badge, and in the time it would take to get the medium badges, you could sow and reap your own ridiculously-and-unnecessarily-homicidal fruits and vegetables. In other words, it'd take a couple of weeks at the earliest to get *medium* badges, assuming that you don't literally devote hours to this every day [which, considering how many idle games Kong has been pushing, I'm willing to bet they assume]. This may be a demo officially, but the demo itself is much, much longer than most full-length games. Whoever assigns these badges apparently never plays them - and as a result, as good as this game is [and it is], it is a **lousy** contender for a BotD.

Then tell us about yourself. what are your hobbies? hmm I can carry 4 axes at once. oh then are you lumberjacks? No, I'm fighting against aggressive radishes. Thank you very much, we will be in touch

For those going for the day 4 badge, my idea was that if you want to do it fast and not grind, you will not be strong enough to finish the objectives towards the final levels (15 and above). So first priority is to get all the health/healing from vials upgrade, second is to get dmg/rate of fire, third is to get running speed. For the first few levels, go aggressive to get as many upgrades as possible. For the later levels, just.. run around killing non-boss mobs for heals (for me its starting lvl 15 and above). You will be surprised how much the healing helps if you just focus on avoiding enemies.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
They need to stop making easy badges that are, at a minimum, medium badges. Grinding for 1-3 hrs to get a badge makes it NOT an easy badge.

Very important: The "P" button.
Focus on 1 type of damage and complete your objectives as late as possible to farm xp/currency (Also take the gain Xp/Curency traits early on).
This game is hella fun, I like it!

XD They misspelled "Discord" as "Discrod", right on the start screen... not sure what to think, I haven't even begun playing it before writing this.
