The target scores for gold scarabs are way, way too high. When players need to avoid the stated objective to progress, something is wrong.

Slaves : We have a wooden framework ready , we can climb and kill the cat god !
Sun king : Wooden framework ? Nonsense ! I will only climb a marble temple ! Build a marble temple , so I can climb and kill the cat god , I dont care if all of you die in the process .

Is it me or does nerdook's game are usually in the endurance category for the badges and not the skill. redundancy is replayed way too much.

Grinding for coins is incredibly tedious. It doesn't really motivate me to slog through all the levels again and again when I would need to play them at least four or five times to afford an upgrade.

My favorite part is trying to complete the gold scarabs...SERIOUSLY, the gold scarabs are difficult for all the wrong reasons. You're on your way to completing them, then the game says "nope, you're done, no gold for you." I'm not one to complain in the comments, but this game warrants it.

This wasnt fun. Too much grinding, no fireball spawn speed upgrade, the AI cheats when you play as the sungod and hats dont level up/give you their stats permanently after using them enough.
1/5, badged for name and reputation -.-

It's completely absurd that getting scarabs is based off of the money. By the time I see that I need them to get the final level, I keep killing the sun king(s) in previous levels too early before I can get that money (because I'm all upgraded now).

I have to admit. I was loving the game... until I had to get to 1750 on "the Sun Emperor" Level. I've found myself yelling at my computer over and over because I have NO control over when I shoot my fireballs as the Sun King. I'm half ready to just give up because it's SO frustrating, and I can't advance because the ONLY way I've seen to advance is to get about 10 Scarab hits in, and the Cat God either steals most of them (because I'm on the wrong side of the screen), or I can't hit the Scarabs because I have NO control over when I shoot as the Sun King.
It's a beautiful sequel otherwise, but I just can't say it's a good game because of the ridiculousness of the 1750. I can pass 1500 without a problem, and have hit 1750 once in the past 30 minutes. ::sigh:: I recommend lowering the limit, making Scarab hits worth more, or giving me the option of when to fire with the Sun King.

Tiny suggestion: Allow us to change the base appearance of our cat. I want a wicked black cat, a fat tabby, or a calico. And maybe a Sun King hat for the irony. :)

It is way too difficult to get the gold scarab on The Sun Emperor! I keep winning, despite my best efforts not to, before I can get to 1750 coins. I have all the upgrades, and am deliberately trying NOT to kill the Cat God while getting every scarab I can, but my minions still kill him before I have the chance to get that high. I feel as though there is nothing else I can do because I have no control over them going and killing the Cat God as fast as they do. I think it should be lowered to 1500, or make the Cat God less easy to kill.

I have to complain about the scarab system. It's been said before but I'll say it again: If we want the scarabs thenwe have to play badly. This is not good design. It's also difficult to aim the fireballs.

new update: on level 7, Cat God will no longer use all your upgrades, but will instead have only level 2 upgrades. should make the game slightly easier. Also, only 5 Golden Scarabs needed to unlock the finale.

I definitely liked the first one better. I feel like I have zero control over this game. It's just frustrating to know you can't beat the game simply because you haven't been abused enough yet to earn the coins you need to automatically win.

Impossible for me to play the Epic Finale because I upgraded too much; I can't earn enough golden scarabs no matter how badly I try to play. Sucks that I can't finish the game. I fail to see the logic of designing a game this way. Also makes zero sense not to allow players to reset upgrades.

Somehow, I never seem to play nerdooks games till the end...they are fun to begin with..then you realize you need to grind to get to the end...

So glad to be done with this. That whole getting 2500 coins thing was insane. Also..the last level is killing 50 Sun Kings. Please don't make a 3rd nerdook.

To win the game, you have to deliberately not destroy your primary objective efficiently. Like, you seriously have to move your auto-firing mouse cursor out of his way, not click anywhere near him, hope you don't hit enough bonus scarabs to trigger special powers that hurt him, and refrain from upgrading yourself too much. Because efficiently overpowering the bad guys is lame.

Sun Emperor? Suddenly I can upgrade him. Is that me? is that the enemy? why would I want to upgrade the enemy? I enjoy your games nerdook, but usually could use a bit more explanation

Very random. How quickly I die depends entirely on tower makeup + scarab spawns/what powers I get. Eg. chokepoints + meteors are massive lulz. Also the golden scarabs actually get harder if you upgrade too much, cause you facemelt everything way too quickly to collect coins.
