Would keep getting 10s in extreme random for a while, then randomly got a 32. The game randomly gave me all the ones i could memorize.

There should be a grace period for extreme random where the timer stops for the first view of the object. it's almost impossible to work out what it is and then also type it. it probably takes more than the three seconds we get back for me to type out square root or, like, star of david.

That last hard badge should be an impossible badge, by the time I work out what I am looking at, let alone type the answer the timer has run out

Unique concept, flawed implementation without a category. Shapes can be drawn in many ways, symbols the same and are we assuming Arial font for numbers and letters. If they were all alphanumeric, I would have given it a pass, but it would probably be too easy. But without a category, level 33's answer looks like many different things, the actual answer is one of the last I would suggest it looks like. A point for originality, -3 for implementation and lack of any advanced features. 2/5

Took me nearly five years, but I have finally finished the One Dimensional Harmony badge! My advice: Memorize several of them, have your mouse hovering over the Skip button at all times, don't be afraid to skip something you don't immediately recognize, and have lots of patience.

Just got the 2nd hard badge after setting this game aside for years. It wasn't as hard as I feared it would be. I'd recommend going through the normal levels again, at least the last fifty, to re-familiarize yourself with the patterns. It's all memorization. Extreme limited view mode can also be helpful practice, but I wouldn't spend too long on it. Take note of symbols you get confused with each other and try and find some difference you can use to recognize them more easily. Car, star, and apple were ones like that for me. It also could be helpful to find the shortest accepted answer to type (chess instead of checkerboard, bulb instead of lightbulb, glass), the few moments saved from typing long words can really save you. That's about it for my advice, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I'm almost positive whoever made the extreme random attack badge is a sadist. Try as I might, I couldn't achieve this *enlightenment* of being able to see the image in the lines, except for the simple ones like the numbers and letters. Ended up having to throw myself at the extreme random attack mode again and again for hours until i got enough that I knew to get to 20. The more of them you have memorized, the better your chances of getting to 20, so memorizing some of the ones with more recognizable line movements helped some. I'm just glad I got the badge and never have to play this again...

Only 4,700/134,647 = 3.5% of people beat this game the honest way. The extreme random attack is straightforward and only takes a few tries, if you've beaten the game without shortcut/walkthroughs. I cheated the first time I played this game in 2009, but I finally earned the last hard badge. Feels good.

Everything was going well until... So, sincere question, what way do you use to memorize every single answer. Or is there a patron, a walkthrough video for that?

Could this perhaps be the mysterious Evil-Dog from "Presumed Dead" and "Switch vs Evil-Dog" in SCGMD4? I've been looking where I can find more of their music

You know you have made a good game when you have me staring at my keyboard for an hour looking at how all the numbers and letters look compared to the screen.

The fun part is figuring out the shape. The not-so-fun part is trying to come up with the word it wants. It would be nice to be given a list of shapes to choose from, so that we can just match them visually without having to guess how we're supposed to describe the shape.

This is a game which is interesting and is creative. Unfortunately, it also is painful to figure stuff out once you get past 20ish. 5/5, but know that little past the first badge is for the faint of heart.

Interesting game, but for certain signs its resolvability depends huge on the society you grew up in, cause their shape can vary massively. Especially if your not from an English country.

this was really boring...i like the idea but i cant see how are those lines supposed to mean anything...i got the bade after trying all keys and am done with the game

I have to disagree with solar. I managed to beat all levels with the help of a friend, but... was hardly able to get the next badge. I don't think the 3 second timer is still right for extreme because of all the long words. Had to skip a lot to win the badge because I recognised them as a many letter word.

music does not fit with this game at all. gameplay is simple and uninteresting after you complete around 6 levels. the only modes i see that could be entertaining are the random modes. too bad you have to go through the boring 100 levels that have pre-defined solutions to have access to them. it basically becomes a "see if you can copy a walkthrough of this game and not be bored out of your mind" game. 1/5 i dont see the appeal of this game.

@Blacksirius you were supposed to pay attention in the tutorial. It clearly says: "Answers are in english and can be words, not just keyboard keys." You understand? You don't have to input square symbol. Just type a word "SQUARE".

Well, I scored 2 points on the last hard badge and I don't think I will make it to 20 it's impossible I doubt I have time to memorize all the symbols and letter with the little time I have.

@tsesarevich yeah I had lots of trouble with it the first time around as well. But by the end of getting the last hard badge, I knew all the 100 figures by heart. I bet I still do today. I see some guy beat me in ExtremeRandomAttack - and if he wasn't cheating, he can probably also set a much higher score - it's basically an endurance game once you remember all the shapes.

Before creating this game first try to teach people how to input square and triangle symbols because it is really tedious to find symbols on the keyboard, so there's no natural way to know how to type those and I left the game at level 10. Sorry.
