Quite addicting, although i do agree with the overpriced shiny. A few suggestions would be to:
1) Allow multiple workers to work on one project, and increase the speed.
2) Have more ways to earn shiny, such as destroying an enemies town hall.
3) Have an alternative way of buying stuff that you pay for with shiny. Like you could buy an extra worker for so many resources.
Other than that, I like this game. If anyone agrees with what I said, give this a [+] so it can be seen by the developers.

nice game! But it really needs a way to chainbuild, at least for wallblocks... It takes more time to go through the menus to order a block build than for the block to be built by your workers :/
rate this up if u agree so that the devs see it.

Pretty good game, though I have to admit that it does get a bit annoying to be constantly asked if I want to brag to my friends about things.

I decided I would contribute to the game and buy some shiny... but the amount of kreds to buy some is WAY too expensive! I'm not going to spend $30 or $60 for a few temporary upgrades in a flash game that can only be played for 10 minutes at a time. I would totally buy some kreds if the exchanges rates were better. To put this in perspective, I spend $30-$60 for a full game on steam like Crysis 2 or Fallout 3 New Vegas, games which have from 10 to hundreds of hours of fully immersive gameplay. If $5 would give me say, 5000 shiny, I would go for that and you would now have my $5. Probably multiple times if I like the game and keep playing it. WAAAAY too stingy with your micro transactions!

the idea that someone could buy 10,000 shiny with 600 kreds (that's 60$... the price of two full games)... it scares me :S

It would be really nice if blocks and mines didn't take 05s to build. It gets really tiring pressing Buildings>Build>Speed Up when placing a row of blocks or mines. It should either take no time at all, or you should be able to queue up a bunch.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Kixeye, just because you don't make a heap of money from this game does'nt mean you should shut it down, if you decrease the price of shiney and give this game another chance maybe things will work out.. all im saying is alought of people love this game and spent time and money on it, and lets face it kong is better than the facebook version right? + this comment so hopefully Kixeye will see it

i think there should be some other way to earn shiny, rather than wait two weeks to grow enough mushrooms to bother picking. i think that we should be able to complete a 'daily quest' which gives us 10-50 shiny for completing, depending on the difficulty. rate this up if u think it is a good idea so something can be done about the need for shiny.

So... they did it. They did it. They deleted the game instead of repairing it. This was a idiotic, shit move from you, KIXEYE. Because of money, you destroyed thousands, maybe millions of yards and people who loved this game. I've been on since July 2011, was on a hiatus, and when I comeback and start enjoying myself, you announce the deletion.
Just remember, games need to have 3 components to be successful: a great game, a friendly community, and finally, helpful developers. You just proved that you're not helpful at all. Therefore, I deem all of your games shit and 1 star them with all might.
Thank you kindly for the eye-opener.

I think there should be a confirm button with the deals involved with shinies. I misclicked and lost 200 shinies of mine. =\

I HATE to say this,KIXEYE, all your people on Kongregate are waiting for you to update, from signing with over 9000 "please update kong" and "whats up kix". If you are taking our money, COME ON ! At least give an update. You did neither update for us nor fix the glitches. I have also set up a voting "Facebook versus Kongregate" and it came out 27 to 100! So come on guys,vote this up and show Kixeye ehat we are good at!!! P.S. This is my 4th time. THANKS GUYS!!!!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Realistically, Kixeye knows how to make money and is watching comments and chats to see what people want. Yelling at them to make shiny cheap isn't going to happen. Why I think Kixeye needs to keep the game up is because people have already spent money on BYM, and it would tarnish Kixeye's name to drop everyone's accounts. + this if you agree.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Kixeye, don't take this game down cause you don't make money. If you make the shiny price amount smaller this may work out. [+] So he/she doesn't shut it down

A few things that would be nice to see ported over from the Facebook game to Kongregate would be: (1) The Champion Chamber (so you can have all 3 champions!), (2) the events (like Inferno), (3) the ability to quickly go from one outpost to the next (when you get to 10+ outposts, searching around the map for each one becomes old quickly!), (4) the ability to fortify buildings, and (5) alliances... I'm not sure why these things can't just be ported right across to the Kongregate game to make it more fun! :-) A lot of people have spent a lot of time on Kong and don't want to start all over on Facebook just to get a better game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think you should maybe see like some sort of video (if you want) of people who attacked you just to see instead of usually reading the attack log and telling what happened it would be better to SEE how it happened. + If you Agree!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
WE should get at least 1 shiny for picking mushrooms. Also their should be way to get shiny in the inferno base like clicking on a fire and it goes out and if you get a good fire you get shiny.
+ if you agree
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
why don't the monsters that survived an attack on an enemy base return to your base? i always have to rebuild my whole army because of that while 75% of my army survived the attack and destroyed the whole base. could someone maybe do something about it please?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
You should be able to control your champion when you fight (monster too). Cuz i mean tons of them fall for booby traps that you know are there. Sometimes they even fail and instead of attacking a defense attack a frkin storage silo next to it. [+] if you agree.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
taking this game off is the most stupid idea ever! and maybe if kixeye was smart they would just lower the price of shiny and update the game to hav a couple mor add ons that cost money and they would makr plaenty of cash
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Y can't we just type the number of monsters we want to attack us in our monster baiters. I just noticed how annoying it is to click + several hundred times just to get that many pokeys. Especially if u just want to fool around with a max lvled baiter and pokey swarm XD.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
and WHAT ABOUT a replay button to see enemy attacks while you were away. Or at least, see their drop coordinates. Would be a great way to plan and improve your yard :/
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think a building queue would be nice. Also may be there could be more bonus items in musrooms. A daily bonus would also do great.+ if agree.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
they should have the option to let builders work together and reduce the time the only problem with my suggestion is that during that time the numbers of workers would be reduced

Great game. The trouble is it falls victim to the same flawed formula most web browser games attempt. If you were to make the game less shiny dependent and simply use ads or something instead, you'd make more money and the players would enjoy your game more. We can tolerate an ad in the corner and a 30 second video while the game loads. The reason Youtube is so successful and still free to use is because it uses advertisements instead of making people pay to watch videos like megavideo or something. + So the devs can see

For people who have a big base and have loads of blocks there should be a button for your to level up all your blocks automatically.So it's kind of like you leave your game and you don't have to tell your workers to build blocks again and again you just push one button and one of your workers will continue to level up your blocks to the level you want them until you run out of resources.
Rate up so KIXEYE can see because some people cant waste their time on having to have to stay in the game to level up all their blocks.

selling resources would be a great way to earn shiny, no matter how small the amount would be. You should REALLY think about changing this please.

Who here ACTUALLY has 5 workers? That's right, not alot of you, maybe none! I, have only 3 workers, and 11 shiny. Everyone wants 5 workers to get what needs to be done, done, right? Well, workers cost a steeping price of 1000 shiny! If you started at 0 shiny, and picked 4 mushrooms a day, and ( ofcourse this wouldn't happen ) somehow you always have your workers strike gold, you COULD get 32 shiny a day. 1000 shiny divided by 4, is 250. 250 days to get a worker! And you even have to be impossibly lucky! Realisticly, it would be 1 mushroom every 2 days, and that would take 2000 days!
Seriously?

please update the game, there are so many updates we are missing out on. it is unfair for us students who cant get on fb to play with the updates because of the web washer. so please start updating kongs BYM. like if you agree please so that something may be done about this.

Its an interesting game; however, I don't much care for having to buy virtual currency with actual money. It seems more worth while to purchase a game then having it be a continual investment. Overall it seems to be holding the interest of many people and that is the point of the game is it not? Good job

workers should have the ability to work on 1 object together to decrease the time it takes to build it by how ever many extra workers. And to take one off just press a button and 1 leaves to be reasighned.

Ok, whose bright idea was it to repair a monster with shiney!? I feed it gold, and it magicly feels better?? Monsters eat other monsters, not heavy metals! I should know... I'm an expert.

Yea ok when using the yard planner why can't we move loads of things at one time?And we can remove things from the map and put them back after we finished these things would make building and changing yards WAY easier.

I hate how Champions heal slower as they level up. When I had a level 1 Champion, it took a few minutes for it to fully heal. Now, with my Fomor being level 5, it takes multiple hours. Also, they need to fix the attack bug where everything except the timer stops. That cost me 17 Teratorns and 2 Zafreetis. In other words, about 3 million goo and 5 hours.
