Um, yeah, what's going on? There's just too much happening, not much explanation, and there doesn't seem to be a lot I can do about it. Oh well.

I'm having only one problem, and that is that the blades almost NEVER spawn. I just went through a game where they didn't spawn once.

On the level where it says there is a blade factory right under your screen, I just got a ton of shields. it was annoying, but I still finish the level

This is a good game, it just takes some getting used too. People are just whining 'cause they don't get it RIGHT NOW and they want the badges RIGHT NOW. I mean, heck, who wants to work for things in life... right? Great game mate, great concept, 5/5.

This has got to be the worst card challenge game I've seen so far. I wanted to get them all, but I can't stomach this one.

Glad to see everybody else thinks this is so easy. I can't make heads or tails of it. Blades don't seem to hurt seekers in any way, armor doesn't seem to have any function at all. I can't get past level 3, largely because nothing seems to work the way the instructions indicate they should. I'm totally baffled.

Ok, I do see that level 2 is stronger then level one for the armour at least so that has some uses. Still don't see why level 2 blades is better then level 1. The card and achievements are medium difficulty. It's not about getting far in the game - it's about not getting hit at all and getting a huge multiplier. Don't lose and segments for a couple levels and you'll get to a million points really quickly.

This game is piss easy, though it has the worst instructions ive ever seen. Once you get the hand of it it's easy. Got bored after reaching lvl 18.
Too much of the same!

I got the card, then got till 15th level, 500k points and died. That 1mil point badge should be INSANE not HARD in my opinion.

funface - maybe use the word "toggle" more though in your instructions to make people understand that you have to switch between blades and armour. Also, if the "power up" for your tail was non-specific (instead of being either blades or armour) it would help drive home that point. Thirdly, it doesn't make any sense to have 3 levels for the blades or armour because you need level 3 to use them properly. The level 2 thing makes it seem like it's getting stronger, when really you're just activating them.

when I was making the game I wanted to have a weapon that affected each enemy. If blades killed everything then there would be no challenge at all.
---Blades kill seekers ---E-bombs kill swarmers, ---Armor can block rockets (lvl 3), ---and the Warpers are invincible, which is why I put the alarm on them so you know to steer clear.
Sometimes it's cool not to spell out exactly how things work and discover them on your own. There's reward in that.
!(>_<)!

Great game.... bad instructions! Add something about how you toggle between shield and blades - and make that one button. Like "x" switches you between the two.

This game has a very high amount of potential, but I don't think it's quite realized. It's a good gameplay concept, mouse control is smooth, and the visual style is nice. But in some ways the game seems broken.
In most games that offer upgrades between levels, they result in a marked advantage in the game - the upgrades here don't seem as effective. The powerups are kind of useless because you have to get a pickup every time you use them, and they're soon gone. Furthermore, I'll be doing fine but then I'll be swamped with enemies and I'll die and I won't even always realize why. I've got no problem with difficult games, but this one could be clearer.
Also, the use of blades and bombs is very stunted. Why can't I use blades on the little purple things? Why don't bombs work on the seekers or cutters? Why do the bombs get rid of food? It all makes a player feel helpless.

And I thought I sounded like a whiny baby on my previous comments. It's true, so the in-game instructions are unclear, and maybe even confusing. But I don't think it's really THAT hard to get. Even I got the hang of it with just a couple of retries. For those who can't understand: the armour and the blades segments are "worn out" after you use them. You need to pick up the power-ups to replenish those special segments. It's not just a matter of upgrading them. If you run out of special segments, pressing X or Z will INDEED do nothing. I think that explanation is missing from the game. But, geez...

this game is terrible and people may rate lower but kongregate made a mistake of difficulty because alot of people cant get a badge and a card
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
extremely hard and terrible difficulty to get a hard badge but that challange card must be hard it made a mistake of difficulty of getting a card and a badge
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
To those who say this game is hard: I suck at games, and beat both challanges and the card in about an hour. And I suck at games. 4/5.

Also how the heck do you attack these enimies? It says to swing your tial at them at cause it has blades, but they just attack it and i lose a piece! I dont get this at all!

Finally, the on screen information is inconsistent and confusing.
The dragon picture at the bottom never matches what the dragon I'm playing with looks like.
The score sometimes has a Max Tail multiplier, but that never matches with the multiplier that pops up when I eat a snack.
Ugh, I've had enough.

What is going on? My tail just grows and grows. Seekers come out, I have no blades. Those purple things keep coming out, I run out of bombs no matter how judicious I try to be. And the warp thing can kill me with one shot. And suddenly I die...

Interesting take on the old snake game. Better clarification on the in game rules might help - perhaps a menu showing all the baddies and how the can be defeated.

@LobsterMobster:
In Boxhead it's pretty obvious what's going on: I'm killing zombies.
But this game makes no sense. What the hell is going on? Who knows? I guess there's something to do with warping through dimensions? Or swimming? With a hungry dragon? WTF? But what is with the octagon at the end of a stage?
I don't expect Bioshock levels of story or even any narrative at all. I do expect a coherent setup so I understand what my goal is and why I should play.

It's a decent game, but it's hard to understand what the heck is going on when playing.
How to get the 1.000.000 score:
Get huge multipliers right from the start, especially the Max Tail multiplier is really hard to get later on in the game. Just don't get hurt even once until you are really close to the million.

Second, blades and armor don't work as they are described in game.
I press X but nothing happens. I press Z but nothing happens. Why? Oh, I need to get the power up first. OK, I got one on level 2. But now it is level 3 and they don't work anymore, even after I upgraded both between levels.
What? I have to get _another_ powerup in level to use something for which I've already spent points and caught a powerup? That makes no sense.
I've paid for my toy, now let me play with it!
Same story for the armor.
Even if the power ups turned on as advertised, they still seem pretty useless.
The armor doesn't seem to actually keep me from losing segments when a creature hits them. The blades only work once, then I'm at the mercy of the powerup spawning again. The bombs only kill one enemy (the lamest one) but also destroy my snacks! Lame, lame, lame!

And Asgard, it's kind of funny to demand a coherent plot out of a flash game. Want to tell me why Boxhead is killing zombies, or why you need to dodge those little balls in... half the games here?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Like usual, lots of haters lined up to show how badass they are. Anyway, it's a good game, definitely one of the higher quality ones here. My only comments are that pressing X (to activate armor/blades?) doesn't seem to do anything. Also, the music sounds like it's skipping a little.

Terribly hostile to me, the player.
First, what is the concept here? At first glance it looks like a confused fl0w ripoff. But I'm a dragon? in space? or underwater? or what? And why am I eating these snacks? Why are these weird things -- and rockets -- attacking me?
It looks and sounds pretty, but the whole idea is half-baked.

Great Game and hardest Card challenge so far.
Adrenaline is pumping through me and my hand hurts.... Must beat the challenge. Arghhhh
