I found [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ar84NdLOfdaPdDNYTldlRHJ3MGtvRE9SblNCaWwybHc#gid=101) (though ancient) listing games that had a 3.75+ rating back then. You could find some older unbadged games there.
I’ll also be going through the Badge Suggestions thread if there are any reasonable suggestions there.

Imo the only genre that really goes overboard on “repetitive tasks” is time restricted(energy based) games. I cannot think of many single player games that are too repetitive, but I may have a tighter definition of repetitive than you.
The way I see it, it just has little downside to give people motivation to keep playing a game. If someone does not want to keep playing it, they do not have to. There is no rule that says you must get every badge. I absolutely refuse to earn several hundred badges for numerous reasons. If you gave me a million dollars if I earned every badge legit, I still would not even attempt it.
If you must give easy/mediums to appease people, try to give 4 badges to any game where it is even remotely possible, even if you have to make an arbitrary goal a badge(like a high score, or a speed run).

Valthirian Arc 2 seems to have quite severe memory leakage issues. :/

Greg,
What about the [Run Mobile](http://www.kongregate.com/games/player_03/run-mobile) game? This is one of the 4 games currently released by Kong for mobile (outside of the Kongregate Arcade app, which I understand is in “end of life”… the others being Sheep Happens, Tyrant Unleashed, and /Escape\), and it is the only one without badges. From the Kongregate link within the game it says that “Achievements coming soon” (which I infer to be badges) but has said this for some time.
It seems that (or it is at least implied that) badges are earmarked for this game. Should this be on your list?

No, it’s not. It’s true that it’s one of currently 4 Kongregate games **for Android** outside of the Arcade App, but there are more Kongregate mobile games for IOS, for example Dragon Strom Gold, Blood Realm or Endless Boss Fight.
I’m curious about those Run Mobile badges too though, as it says “Achievements coming soon” in the App for a month or longer now.

Thanks for the spreadsheet link, Bluji. Very handy.
I spent all day playing Valthirian Arc 2 and I still have no idea what the badges are going to be. Does this game ever end?!
Looks like there’s some new stuff in Space Flash Arena, also. That might be doable soon.
Also, Blood Realm badges scheduled for Friday.

I don’t think it ends, it’s pretty much the same as the first one.
So the next badge will be only on Friday? The last badge was on past Tuesday :/

I know, sorry! It’s been a distracting day. My monitor broke. :( And we had to move offices. And my internet kept going down. And I had to do some sponsorship stuff. Then the dog ate my homework.

I hope it gets the API by then.
For the easy badge…. I have to say it….. **“Men are from Mars, he is from Uranus”** (which by the way is technically true…. Uranus was the ancient Greek god of the sky and (with Gaia) fathered most of the Titans, among them, Cronus. Cronus then fathered Zeus and Hera who in turn fathered Mars/Ares). So it is both funny and educational. How can you go wrong with that?

The API is in BloodRealm; it’s just not in the high scores. And Space Flash Arena is looking pretty good for badges tomorrow. I’ll try to get a third game on Friday if I can.

Rofl that part won for you.
Anyway, as long as we now know the badge objectives beforehand, they coming late isn’t such a big deal. Thanks for the hardwork!

I assume the easy will be called **Card of War** and requires beating Mars?

Well I’m fairly glad that there’s no PvP based badges for BloodRealms. Those usually end up poorly for me and a few others.

Yeah, I actually talked about this with the developers and we both agreed not to require pvp wins for either badge. The medium badge will go much faster if you use your pvp energy in addition to your mission-based energy, though.
I’m thinking ~20 kills for an easy badge and ~5 wins for a medium badge in Space Flash Arena. I was thinking ~50 kills in victories on “very hard” earlier as a hard badge, but this is actually pretty easy if you just set it to 1 opponent and 2 missiles on respawn, so maybe I’ll just do the first 2 badges. I’ve messaged the developer about it; I’ll try to have it finalized by later today. Any other feedback or opinions would also be appreciated.

If [this](http://www.kongregate.com/games/BitBattalion/mr-runner-2) had API I think it’d be a perfect fit :P

I’m no where near the greatest, Uzzbuzz, 123aaa789, and many others are far greater than I.

It’s probably one of the more common misspellings of my name.

I’m glad that a more official version of the badge suggestions thread now exists, I’m interested to see how this affects decisions for badges (whether they’ll get easier, or harder, or more frequent, or whatever).

A game that just came to my mind — [Corporation Inc.](http://www.kongregate.com/games/ArmorGames/corporation-inc) is a fun one, though a bit glitchy. The API is kinda limited, but the rating is great (4.18) and I guess it could have a medium for completing it in any mode.

Saving doesn’t work, though. :-/
Kinda uncool to make the badge require everything being done in one sitting.

I suggest removing from the first post the badged games – there is no need to keep an archive of this.

That’s the plan, just did. BloodRealm badges are live now.
