Interesting that CE:B badge isn’t mentioned when you hover your mouse over achievements and in your activity feed.

Maybe it’s not a bug but another UI feature. Kong has a history of great UI features. “History”, as it used to be working well. :P

From the game’s developer [platon\_skedow:](http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/platon_skedow)
> The game was removed from Kongregate :-( Kong has a policy against third party login system like id.net, and they removed the game. The game is still available, for example, at NG: [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/671128](http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/671128) or at Y8: [www.y8.com/games/royal\_warfare\_2.html](http://www.y8.com/games/royal_warfare_2.html)

Quick update here: Learn to Fly 3 is still not reporting API data in real-time — only retroactively. I’ve contacted the developer about this but haven’t heard back yet. I can’t move forward with adding badges to the game until this is fixed.
I’m currently working with the developer of [Raiders Took My Dog](http://www.kongregate.com/games/pytachok/raiders-took-my-dog) to get the API implemented. There will probably be an easy badge for kills, a medium for achievements, and either a medium or hard for completing the game.
[Fleeing the Complex](http://www.kongregate.com/games/Puffballs_United/fleeing-the-complex) was just uploaded, and I’m talking with the developer about implementing our stats API. I know it’s still under judgment, but this game is awesome/hilarious and I’ll probably make an editorial decision to add a completion badge even if people are wrong and give it a low rating.
Thyrael’s explanation of Royal Warfare 2’s removal is correct, also. I feel at least partially responsible for this — we really should have sponsored the game or worked out some kind of arrangement to be able to get it on the site without third-party login systems. Sorry about that. :(

There are several games with 3rd-party login systems on Kongregate, that have not been taken down – shouldn’t they be deleted aswell then or is it successful developers, that Kongregate wants to punish for choosing the wrong sponsors?
Here is just one example: [http://www.kongregate.com/games/darkvam/super-squad](http://www.kongregate.com/games/darkvam/super-squad)

I love how you picked an example of a game that has been out since yesterday lol.
Royal Warfare 2 definitely hasn’t been the first game to be removed for this reason though. The only reason why games don’t get taken down for 3rd party logins when they should be is because it’s such a minor thing that most users don’t care about so they don’t report it. This leaves it up for Kong to have to catch them as they see them, and in this case someone wanted greg to look at the game and when he noticed it was breaking the rules it had to be taken down :(

Both don´t force you to login to another site, it´s possible, butnot needed.

Well if you look at gameplays and rating, these games are clearly not easy too see behind more popular games. Most people might not be aware those games exist and never checks them out. So they are simply missed.

I could actually imagine this getting an easier hard badge like alice is dead episode 1 for 100% completion. I can’t figure out all the achievements without a walkthrough.

Precarious’s Suggestion from March 2015:
`
Lastly, while the queue is currently pretty filled with recent-ish games, I’d still like to suggest Three Body Problem. It’s being used in the current tournament for the Fire division, and is fairly challenging but straightforward—I don’t think it would be too difficult to come up with an Easy/Hard combo for it. I’d suggest something like
Easy – 5 points
Hard – 25 or 30 points
Several people I’ve talked with have suggested that 30 is better than 25, but I think the level of competition is obscuring how those numbers would feel to most gamers. In any case, it’s a fun game, and with a 3.90 rating and working API, it certainly fits the usual criteria.
`
I’d like to bring it up again because it is a beautiful game of skill and reflexes that we’ve been lacking badges in lately. I know it is Unity, but considering the shortness of it, I’d propose it as “badges that are really just point challenges until Unity goes kaput for good”. I know it’s not good practice to badge something guaranteed to be removed from the site due to being unplayable, but the same thing is being done with (eventually) every mmo, as that’s just life.
Just give us some challenge we can get our hands on for a bit to reinvigorate some of our badge drives :P I haven’t played the game in ages, but Prec’s suggestions are fairly reasonable, even though I was in the crowd leaning towards 30-40, and 30 sounds like a good hard badge number. Easy badge is fine as stated. It’s kind of nice to have suggestions where points in a game approximately = the badge points ie 60 would be a really good imp, but I am not proposing an imp of course~

How much longer will Unity be up?
30 points would make a nice hard badge. I reallyyy want more small arcade games badged.

So, Fleeing the Complex is hilarious. I saw Greg mention in the comments that he was considering an easy for either one ending or all five endings. To be honest, I’d actually like to see more if possible—the super high rating demonstrates that people like playing the game, so a badge for all 60 fails might work as well.
Either way, I’d think Wall of Fame would be a good badge name.
And probably needless to say, but I’d still support badges for Three Body Problem.

The next badged game is probably going to be [Raiders Took My Dog](http://www.kongregate.com/games/pytachok/raiders-took-my-dog).
I’m working on getting the API into Fleeing the Complex, but I still haven’t heard back on Learn to Fly 3.
The badges for “Raiders Took My Dog” will probably just be an easy badge for 100 kills and a medium badge for 12 in-game achievements. Feel free to suggest names!

Oh thank goodness
I’m sorry, but I cannot voice through words how grateful I am with no completion badge going out there for RTMD. The game is probably one of the worst non-MMO games to reach a ~~3.8~~ 4.0?! rating that I’ve seen over my years in Kong :(

its been out for about 1 minute but [http://www.kongregate.com/games/KaMiZoTo\_Creator/there-is-no-game](http://www.kongregate.com/games/KaMiZoTo_Creator/there-is-no-game) seems badge worthy (assuming it gets to 3.75…..)

It’s actually been out for a while in other sites, and was a success on [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=there+is+no+game).

I like Precarious’s suggestion for RTMD. If that ends up being the easy, I’d suggest either “Labrador Achiever” or “Golden Achiever” for the medium.
