this game is seriously unbalanced. with no grinding ability, how are you supposed to get better if you reach a level you can't beat? having to re-roll for enemies is a lazy game mechanic when it should be an option to level up before trying a harder level.

If there were a rating for lower than 1 star, this would merit. Nerdook your games are usually better than this, with what looks like no updates what so ever. Disappointed.

Got the medium badge, trying to figure out how to do the "upload your family" thing (Select a Custom Family, ???, Beat Family, Profit?)
Some sort of Badge for getting all the special items might be an idea, btw...

This is ridiculously unbalanced. Ranged attacks that take about a fifth of a character's hitpoints at any distance, when it takes the characters at least five turns to cross the board? That means I'm dead before I've even had chance to engage! Ridiculous.

Wait. The special items come when you finish a *neighbourhood*? As in, minimum 15 fights? For an easy badge? I've been playing half an hour already and I'm less than half-way there? An hour plus of grinding is usually worth a medium at the minimum.

@dthwsh1899: that would be because they're *fun*. The design is simple and funny, the game is kinda creative, it doesn't even *pretend* to be serious in any way, and basically give people a good laugh.
So, yeah, even though they are often imbalanced, even when they have crappy controls, even when the upgrades and their price make no sense, and even when winning or losing seems pretty random, people still have a good time playing them, so they get good ratings and become popular quick. And they totally deserve it ;)

There needs to be a tutorial in the beginning of the game. I honestly I have no real clue as to what i'm doing or how the turns work so i'm just kinda waiting for one of my guys to light up.

It still mystifies me how Nerdook games get badges or any popularity. Random drops should be part of badges, Level 5 shouldn't be against a players family with more upgrade points than you have and the class balancing had no thought put into it.

Loaded with artificial difficulty; forces you to spend upgrades before repicking family so you have to respec more, buy units blind with no idea it's upgrades or abilities. Not being able to replay levels was a nice touch though.

i found one on the 7th level, after winning i got a random item that was at the bottom right of the screen during the battle

are you people OK? I completed the game 1 time and got 4 special items, while stepping on the enemies side 1 time through all the rounds and I lost only 2 times. If it's hard then maybe you should learn how to play or don't play. PS why would you play a game you think sucks just to get a badge that gives 2x more points which do nothing

Okay, finally got a special item after defeating the ninth family. I never left my side of the arena, I had one character die. So I'm guessing it's just a random low chance of getting one if your opponent has them. I got one of the three that they had equipped. Incidentally now having gotten the badge of the day screw this game very much. One star rating may it be purged from the internet as a testament to it's suck.

Why does no one seem to have the answer on finding special items? Plenty of people seem to be willing to tell us what the items are and how they are used but nobody will share the info on how they are obtained.

3 fights in a row i have won while next to the special items, several other times was on the enemy side and not once have I gotten a special item!
