The worst part about this game is that by the end of earning the badges, I actually somewhat understood what was going on. And knowing made it even more terrible

I believe we were all dead all of a sudden and came down the comment section to look for an explanation. The game is pretty dumb in not teaching us the basics - What is the point of knowing what weapons we have without knowing who is the enemy? Or what everything on the screen flying around are??

And a tip - instead of using stamina, you can just make small circles with your mouse, that will keep your segments close and safe.

Badge guide: 1st level - collect energy, build up combo, don't lose no segment. In the upgrade menu max out armor. 2nd level - you will get first blades bonus and then armor, but don't fight with the bug, just avoid it. Next you can upgrade whatever you want, but stamina will be useful. 3rd - press space as soon as you hear explosion - that indicates purple guys spawning. Play it safe. You will get invincible bonus, use it, and when there's one second left, use the bomb for cautious. Repeat until it's over. 4th level is the hardest - just try to avoid the enemy, use your stamina, but if you fail one segment, it's cool, I made it even though. Armor will give you three hit protection from energy balls, so when you get blades at this level, just switch them back to armor. At 5th just stay in the middle and gather energy moving horizontally. Use stamina to avoid eventual collisions. Next level is just a matter of colecting couple energy balls and you've got yourself a badge. Hope it helps!

...Are you guys aware that this game is from 2007? It's nine effing years old, of course it's bad by today's standards. Give it a rest.

1/5 would become a lot better if it wasn't for the fact that the energy that you have to collect didn't damage your tail too

Guys game is very easy to understand. Not give up after couple of times.
Really it's pretty addictive. Blades you aquire after getting blades power up (Your tail becomes red colored). Armor is green colored tail. If you got armor and blade's powerup in the same level you can swith them by z and x key. Good luck :)

the easy badge is not that hard, when you first get the blades a seeker will come and u will probably inadvertently kill it, and from my experience u pretty much have to play through it five times getting that same exact kill. I can't even begin to imagine how to get the hard badge...after a while, i seemed to understand the mechanics of the game but my highest score was around 50K. Altogether, interesting concept but poor execution (and badging; looking at you kong)

I have to agree on the confusing complaints. After a few games and being no further along in figuring out what is good and what is bad I just rated it a 1/5 and gave up.

I can't find any way to tell if my blades are activated or not. What does a bladed segment look like? Which enemies are seekers? I'm only here for the badge, I've played 5 times, and killed 1 thing (somehow, at some time, no idea when).

Actually a very easy HARD badge to get so long as you spend ALL of your time avoiding enemies. Ignore blades, ignore armor. Those powerups are so rare so as to be useless (the only exception is the level with constant blade powerups, and the level with ZERO enemies). Just keep avoiding everything, and you'll get a million points easy.

Very cool game actually. The "seekers" are the things that look like frogs that try to chase you beginning on level 2. The easy badge actually lives up to its name, once you know what to do. After completing level 1, you should have 6 points to spend. I recommend maxing your blade durability. When level 2 starts, a power-up should appear toward the beginning of the level. That's the blade power up. Get it, and when the seeker appears, try to swing around so it touches one of the blades. It may sound complicated, but it's really easy once you get the hang of it. 5/5

wow... thought the game was good and very challenging, but some people just dont have the right computer for it so it seems unresponsive. I played this at my friends house to and his computer is diffrent and it was anoying that it was uneresponsive, thus its not the game ut it is the comuter. oh and one more thing 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ok first of all i dont think this game deserves all the hate it gets. this being because i find the controls to be responsive the concept intiresing and THE USE OF UPGRADES (for all of you who probably didnt see that) to be origional and the dificulty challenging. the gam isnt supposed to be so hard its unfare just hard.

If you stop moving the mouse, it starts having like a frickin' seizure or something. Try it. It may just be the best thing about this game. Obviously the gameplay itself isn't.

The easy badge is NOT that hard...all you have to do is play the game until you get to the tutorial-ish part where they give you the tail of blades, about 30 seconds in. Use it until it is depleted, then simply start over. Please help others see this, obviously a lot of people are having trouble ;)

yeah and make it so that those thingies you have to eat dont kill your tail segments!!! for about most of the time i was playing idk wtf was hitting me, until i found out the things that you have to eat kills you :/

Most annoying thing is you get Item X and Z in first level... well freaking let me keep them so I can actually get used to using them. And offer me upgrades for them or something I mean you're already limiting the time length I can even use them for when I get them. Also the Point scale seems to be going up gradually but still seems a bit slow. Concept is worth two stars but as I keep playing will see if I can find any value as I go.

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?
