Under rating threshold (show) Wow. I learned so much from this series. First of all, the game has its own rules that define the play-ability. No player is able to change these rules. A game can have a goal, but not all of them have a goal, like Sim City. The goal must NOT be too easy (boring) or too difficult (rage-quitting). A player must play through trial and error. If you try challenges way too early in a game, with no knowledge of the game, you can end up losing. You can realize the pattern my forming an hypothesis on what to do, based on what you start with. The pattern can be changed sometimes, so you must figure it out through trial and error. Lastly, competition is the key to make a game fully entertaining, like tag. Instead of there being only 1 player, you can interact with other people in a game that has built-in multiplayer support. If you can't call your friends, play with AI instead. This series was AMAZING, even 13 years later. Thank you for this magnificent series!

Under rating threshold (show) In Memory of Kongregate "You acquired this badge on Jun. 20, 2009.", Reading this, I did pine; A thought shot through my head, "Better record this before it's dead". I decided to leave this meta-comment online, A sweet remembrance, a timely shrine. 11 years gone in a blink, Time drips by like a broken sink, No ebb and flow, A decade gone in one swift blow. I wonder if these free games, freely made, Will in times to come, be played, Or will they go the way of the Arcade And, to our dismay, quietly fade? Ah, Kongregate, Have you accepted your untimely fate? Holding our breaths, we wait For the dreaded date. Gone in a Flash, Erased my cache Of tender memories. Many hours spent; My heart is rent.

Under rating threshold (show) in the tutorial it gave me the option of control via mouse. Then I lost because I was trying to use the mouse after it switched to arrow keys only in the game. Other than that being unclear though, it was an interesting analysis of game making.
