False Difficulty, 'nuff said. Game is incredibly challenging not because of depth of the game but because the tail is out of control 90% of the time and there are so many projectilces. Love the concept but I can't say I enjoyed this game very much :^/

O.o I don't know about everyone else, but I quite like this game. The music is catchy and fun, and the gameplay's different from most games I play. Yes people, the hard badge is hard... Isn't that what it's supposed to be though? I mean really.. Getting worked up cause a hard badge is too hard. I give this game a 4/5, and a hope that the developer creates more unique games :)

I hate it, I press X because I've just got the bonus to do it. But there is absolutely no obvious signs that you've done it right. I've died so many times just bevause I thought that it was alright. And you can't know when the effect will end.

for those not knowing norse mythology, which is probably most of us, Ouroboros was a giant serpent-like dragon who circled the world like a belt, and had to put his tail in his mouth.

After playing briefly, my intention was to rate this game 3/5. After finally getting the hard badge, I rated it 1/5. This is an honest rating because I honestly hated it by the end. I would say the hard badge should be impossible, but really this game doesn't deserve badges at all. The game is not hard so much as it is stupid, and there are a few basic problems: (1) the tail is too long and too unresponsive; (2) the locational damage of armor and blades abuses the sloppy control; (3) powerups are far too rare; (4) objects dart in from nowhere at random times and random speeds; (5) the claustrophobic screen has too little space to maneuver. These are all examples of Fake Difficulty, and the game is far too reliant on luck. Futility is having swarmers spawn directly on chunks of tail, and this perfectly encapsulates the Oroboros gameplay experience.

to get the easy achievement well easily just play level 1 and 2 and kill 2 seekers each time. Because the kills are cumulative between games just start new game after level 2 and it should only take about 10 min (3 games) to win.

Dude this easy badge sucks. I sliced two seekers then did a new game and sliced three and it says I need four more. Is this a glitch?

Hard badge seekers: Do not be discouraged by your low score! Keep playing! I was around 60,000 when I hit the level with lots of seekers and blades. That level boosted my score to over 150,000. A few levels later there is nothing but food, just collect the food and increase your multiplier (agility and cohesion help scoop up food without losing your tail). My mutli went to 20 and my score was over 600,000. With that multiplier on the following level my score was over 1,000,000 in no time! The scoring system is silly, yes, but just keep in mind that being at 40,000 does not mean you are THAT far from the hard badge. Just stay alive and keep playing, look for that all-food level!

This game itself isn't wasn't too bad, but when you have to go down to the comments to learn how to play it, something is definitely not right.

I just don't see what the big fuss about the game is, the game isn't overly difficult and the easy badge is easy. + if you agree

The easy badge is actually very easy to get. For the first upgrade max out your tail of blades and you can slice two seekers in the 2nd round with the tail of blades power-up. Restart and repeat until you get 5, show people that's how you get one of the lowest earned easy badges.

this game is a very interesting idea and design, its just WAY WAY WAY the hell too hard. There is NO way to protect all of your tail once it is above 4 segments, it is just too long and there are just too many enemies. After 30 minutes of playing, I am only at 40,000 points... how the hell are we supposed to get 1 million? that hard badge is complete bullsh*t

After playing this game for 2 years, I finally got the damn easy badge. I am not even going to try for hard. Never playing this game ever again now.

This game is so bad, that more people have the Pandemic 2 Impossible badge, than the Oroboros easy badge, and Oroboros badges came out a year before Pandemic 2

The point is eat those floating things and keep them from eating your tail. Collect Power ups. [+] so others can see.

All the people rating the game a 1 because 'they don't understand' or it's 'too hard' need to suck it up and get better. I got the badges in 2007 and my highscore is 113,000,000.

If you're worried about not easily being able to destroy things, remember that friendly fire is basically turned on amongst your enemies. Use that to your advantage, e.g. if a Seeker latches onto you, ram that segment into a Warper or something. Or, if those little purple particles are giving you trouble, lure them into the path of some missiles. You know, stuff like that.

The Seekers are those bastards who start appearing in the second level and hang on to your tail to eat the things on your tail one by one. You kill them before they can grab your tail using the blades powerup to earn the badge.

i think this game is good. First of all: i got my 1 mil points at lvl 15 and it was not hard at all because lvl and lvl 15 are lvls where i made like 200k with a short tail in the beginning.
and for those who dont know how to play this game:
1. put ur sound on, and it tells u if u have blades or armor. when theres only blue on ur tail u have nothing on.
2. the blue things on ur tail are not protected.
3. with blades u can only kill seekers
4. with armor u can be protected from rockets (max) and the white things (food).
5. just eat a lot of white things and be careful with ur tail. (max cohesion)
thats about it i think to make 1 mil points.
only one thing left: Look at the contols before u start -.-

The help in this game is useless. As Dudely commented a bit earlier, WTF is a f****ing seeker. How do you deployu your powerups (the keys mentioned in the helped do nothing). This game is a total failure, impossible to understand.

Add me to the list of people who don't understand this game. Is there any way you can tell you're about to die all of a sudden? My skeleton bar at the bottom was full and my tail looked fine. Also, I can't tell whether or not I have the blades on my tail.
