I would love to get the BotD, but it just takes way too much time. After 100 jumps, and I barely have half the upgrades, it's just not worth the time.

Getting money is pretty easy. Each different trick you do adds x1 to your trick multiplier, so do all of them each run. At the beginning, try to get perfects (get in and jump right when the bars are half way full).They add x1 to your multiplier. Hitting the space shuttle on the way up also give you x1. Buy as many groupies as you can, and play it safe so you don't lose them. Once you have enough money, do pole vaults + handstands when you've hit the ground. You can do about 2-3 per run, and they give you 3k each. After you have all tricks, rockets 3 and racing wheels, it's easy to get lots of money. Perfect launch + four tricks + shuttle tap (or whatever its called) should get you 2500x6=15000 points. Add three pole vault + hand stand for another 9000 points. Distance and height = 3000 at least, for a subtotal of 27000. Multiply it by a 2.1 style bonus to get 56700 points. You get even more with the golden cart. My best run is 70k+ and done in less than 45 minutes.

I gotta say I definitely agree with everyone in saying that this game is WAAAAY too repetitive. To those who are going for the badge of the day, however, what I recommend is to try and angle yourself after you get off the ramp to go up and try to combo all the air tricks to get a x4 or x5. It really amplifies your points!

This is pretty boring holy crap, the whole problem is that no matter how skillful you are this game is going to take at least 100 launches. Right now i'm at 70, I have fully upgraded rocket and 3 tricks, plus a bat and 2 groupies and level 2 wheels. I have 50/70 perfect launches and 10/70 excellent launches, and still i'm not finished the game. This is ridiculous, purely off grinding for money and nothing to do with how timing or how you control your cart in the air.

After 50 jumps I've decided that the easy badge is not worth my time, let alone the BotD medium. People are suggesting that the "trick" is to make perfect launches, but there's no explanation of how those work and I haven't accidentally managed one. (I made the guess that you're supposed to stop running when the first gage is dead center, and start pressing up when the second gage is, but they both fill nearly instantly, and I haven't gotten close, so no testing that theory.) Maybe once you have monkeys and a big yellow bat to hit them with this game might get fun, but I'm no longer interested in grinding long enough to find out.

A terrible choice for a daily badge in my opinion. Too much grind and little payoff. I'd recommend making upgrades cheaper.
Also, there seems to be little correlation between distance launched and where you hit the power bar on your descent and ascent.

With the risk of being downrated, I agree with those above. It's tedious with almost no noticable progression whatsoever. It's not even fun. You just jump, watch the guy fall for a couple of secz, do it all again, earn enough money to buy a trick...

Worst game ever. You think getting enough points to buy the hang glider is hard? Try the actual boss battles. You're hang glider steers like a brick, and the placement of the bombs you're supposed to hit at the boss makes it impossible to actually reach most of them. The ones you do reach you usually can't hit the monkey with because you have to fly at them at a certain angle to even hit them, and that usually means you'll hit them no where close to the actual boss. The monkey is constantly off screen, and will start to throw bananas at you randomly, even if you can't see him, resulting in him pretty much insta-killing you. I could go on for hours about how wrong this game is. 1/5

I make it a point to get on here and play the game of the day damn-near everyday. I dont have 18 hours to get a badge on a game like this. come on. Im quitting on jump 156. Thanks for wasting my time.

This is the most boring game I ever played for the badge of the day. On a fundamental level, there is nothing that could make it exciting or fun.

The hold button...means you hold the button. Hold->=press -> and don't let go. This game's only tedious til you upgrade your wheels and rockets twice, then it gets a lot easier.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.

"That was a big crash, good thing I was wearing a helmet!" "But your three groupies weren't, they're dead!" "Oh I'll just buy more..."

The bat isn't exactly all that responsive. You could be right next to a tree that still has coconuts and you're hearing the sound but nothing is happening. Kinda buggy.

70 jumps and I finally have enough money to afford the upgrades needed to get the EASY badge... is this badge of the day or badge of the week?

You should really be able to tell when you're going to land. I have no idea when I'm going to land most of the time, and it sucks when you have to rebuy upgrades like groupies because you died...

if you time the jump exactly right you can get a perfect bonus of 1000 on the jump! if you are good with timing jumps you wouldnt complain about prices

Alright, I think something got mixed up with the badge difficulties... I scored 50,000 points in a single jump before I got the dumpster and now I can get near 100k in a jump... on the other hand, I've tried to kill this flying monkey 20 times and he's still at 3/4 health... plus, I had to get just about every item in the game to get to him... I think the monkey badge should be worth 30 points and the 50k jump badge should be worth 15

instructions? I dont see why Im complaining. This game has come out 2 years ago. The developper must be a f***** lazy retard

76 jumps later, one dead worm, one dead monkey, one badge of the day, and lots of shame and regret at all the wasted time.
