Hey guys, as the title says, I've been away for three months. I'm a bit of a badge whore, so I'm looking to start accumulating them. Can anyone suggest some interesting and novel games with badges in them? Bear in mind that I HATE Gemcraft and I am sick to death of tower defenses. Thanks very much for anyone with replies :).

So I tried at realtime on my good machine. Using rockets is pointless and hopeless. You'd need to be some kind of cyborg. You **CANNOT** do a megatank round losing less than 30 even on a super lucky run, and you're some kind of god if you can routine do better than 40. Tried it again with a second game running in another tab. Died on wave 23 after my first attempt despite four megatank rounds. Nearly got perfect on one, but took two hits late on, one of which was probably unavoidable, the other of which was just stupidity. Your skill at this game is inversely correlated to your machine's performance. This is an upper tier impossible with the intended conditions. So I tried at realtime on my good machine.
