Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate Mentioned In Planet Mozilla Blogroll

For those who don’t know, Planet Mozilla is a popular blogroll (collection of blogs about one topic) about firefox, mozilla, and the future of the web. In the latest post, Kongregate was mentioned as a comparison of ease of playability from those text based games with a command line and playing games here. Specifically, the line is as follows:

“The amount of work involved in playing such a seemingly “low-tech” game seemed a bit out of proportion in comparison to the more multimedia-rich offerings available on the web through sites like Kongregate, which allow games to be shared and played with the click of a hyperlink.”

The individual blog that has the posted content is Toolness. (http://www.toolness.com/wp/?p=49)

So, thanks Kongregate, for making it easy to share and play games with hyperlinks.

Thanks Mmochtroid for the review. I’ll add arrows in next time I mess with it. I couldn’t find the review cause I was doing a Cntl+F search for Multi-Path, and not MultiPath…

8.9/10 is a very nice score.

Just a re-request for my level.

Topic: Off-topic / Kongregate IRC Rooms?

Hey, anybody here think we should get an IRC room here at kong so that people can talk on IRC here through a connection that isn’t interrupted when not playing a game?

If so, I’m thinking the best place for it would be irc://irc.coldfront.net/kongregate.

But I sent them two days ago…

Teamwork – Nice long course with challenging obstacles. It would be faster to do with other players, but can be done solo. Doodles are everywhere and there are choices to be made. All in all, very good job. I personally don’t like hitting snow blocks to break them all the time.

The Grand Expedition – Another long course with challenging obstacles. The drawings are excellent, and very immerse. I played it when it first came out in the newest section. I slipped off the bridge once in each play-through. The having to hit the turn block in the ship’s hull confused me.

Creator: Havvy

Title of Map: Multi-Path

PFR2 Username: Havvi

Objective: Win all 6 paths. Then try to hit all 10 happy face blocks. Suggestions are useful. I’ll have a city-like path sooner or later added.

Chances are he won’t respond here. I already sent him 6 of my suggestions to his email. He responded. Granted, it was a short response, but a bigger change then you shall get here.

Topic: General Gaming / Like online collectible cardgames ?

I remember Ard. Long time since I played. You kind of have to have money to get better cards.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Ron Paul

Wow, a conversation of everything of interest!

For the states having more power, if they had more power, they wouldn’t leave the union. In the time of the internet, and with information getting round the world in milliseconds, having states act as small governments with a common set of freedoms would be useful. If this worked correctly, I could the US annexing Canada or Mexico because we have a better system to avoid corruption. Of course a lot of lines would have to be redrawn….

For economics, I’ve always known there were problems with the ‘Free-Market’ and that the ‘Loosely-Regulated’ one works. I just didn’t know why. Greg, your arguments show that to me.

For Ron Paul, he won’t win. End of story.

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

I suggest that a suggestion forum be added. I also suggest being able to view topic creator on the forum page.

Topic: General Gaming / Text based MMORPG's

How is Dark Throne going right now?

For things in that class, I have a good list of them. I can only remember three, and only play two.

CyberNations (.net)
LunarWars (.net)
Trukz (never been there)

By the way, those games are MMOGs, not MMORPGs. Get your acronyms right!

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

To possibly decrease the lag, and let people chat without being on a specific game, have your chat done on IRC. Note: This is a very simplified way of asking for a complex change.

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

Add a suggestions forum. It’ll be more organized than this list.

Also, add the following three FAQs to the chat help thing.

1. How do I whisper.

2. What game is person X playing?

3. How do I add people as friends?

4. I don’t like person X. Can I mute him?

If anybody is wondering about answers, here they are:

1. Type “/w [person] [message]”. Person and Message are what you enter in.

2-4. Find their name on the chat list and hover over it. You’ll find the game they are playing along with two links. One is to make them your friend, and the other is to mute them so you can’t see what they say. They can still see what you see though.

These are 2 frequently asked questions, and 2 features that are hard to find.

Suggestion: In a database that can tell the difference between different games, authors, and context for each comment, have it search and delete a comment if it is a duplicate to one already in the database if the game, author, and context are the same.

Topic: General Gaming / platform racing secrets

Lawl. These tips suck! I’ve gotten around 7k rank in that game, so I know my way through the levels.

Overall: Traction is almost useless unless you are doing robocity, but only about 15 is needed. A jump of 75 and a speed of 75 is what I use.

Newbieland: Speed will be the most useful if you use it after you super-jump (wait a second to make sure nobody voids that with lightning). All else has been said.

Buto: Teleport, SuperJump, Mine Glitch, Jetpack. Those get you out of the beginning area. Don’t go for the last powerup, as it usually slows you down (unless you get speed)

Pyramids: Speed is key in this level. Get it every power up. First Use: Right before the beginning of the small humps. Second: Right before the big hole (jump over it altogether). Third: Right away.

Robocity: 25 traction, 50 jump, 75 speed. Use that build. If you are on the far left of the screen, go left at start and try to hit right as soon as you fall. If you do it correctly, you may be faster than your opponents at the beginning, saving you a second. If your first power up is a teleport, use it to go right at the giant wall you have to jump down and you save yourself 10 seconds. Speed rules for the second power up.

Assembly: Speed/Teleport are good for the first power up. Save super jump or jetpack if you get them. Hope you get them on the second power up. Go as far right as you can (so you’ll be on the bottom right floating platform) and you can get to the top of the platform by just going up there.

Infernal Hop: Use mine glitch 1 or 2 (if you know them. There’s 2) or get a teleport power up, go down the shaft, and go right to the destroyable bricks. Get up, and go left towards the wall an up. When you are on a force jump platform next to the wall, try to get up to the small platform, and teleport through the wall to the goal.

About Guns: People don’t like to be shot. Instead, notice that it gives you a little extra push. Jump, and fire the gun the oposite direction that you want to go to get there a little faster.

Lag: You will have to go where you think they will be half a second later to knock them down by jump. Usually 1 square in the direction they are facing.

I hope you like these tips.

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

Here is a suggestion that kind of goes with high scores. It’s another addition to the Kong API (the kong API is gonna be realy advanced if most of these ideas go through) but this time it’s on the side of the programmer/server and not the user (although they will be affected).

Many people clear their cookies out a lot. Any method of saving a game is based on cookies. This means that some people can’t really save their game. Also, it would make people less frustrated when it comes to badges/cards.

Allow the programmer to connect to the server and save to a hidden version of a scores table, only allow the flash application extract the scores (defaulted to -1 or 0 (whether -1 is feasible) from the server also so that even if the player clear’s their cookies, it won’t affect their kong scores on certain games.

I’d think that games that are professionaly made and polished for each site would add this.(such as the games with badges)

Also, it could help the badge process by having games such as Star-Shine have it saved on the server so that people don’t have to beat it twice (once before badge, once after).

Topic: Kongregate / Metagame rulesheet, updated screenshot, and full Rumiko details

Kong Crew: The game looks awesome. 3-4 weeks huh? Okay. So it’ll be out sometime in september…

I have a suggstion for the game. I noticed the backgrounds, and after you started talking about range I had an idea You back up when you decide to go far range and have it so that there is a total of 5 spaces (2 on each side plus the center) and have it so that if you want to get far away when you are at a wall on the field, you have to use 75 energy, and you end up at the center. Of course, the person could counter it with a block (uses 25 energy) during the movement turn.

Would that be a nice feature to add?

Uh, for Idle idea, that’d take one week and one hour of not playing any other game…

…Just do it again…

Also, proofread your posts.

Don’t put “PLZ Help!!!” as it’s annoying.

Explain more in detail and take a picture (Use Print Screen and Control+V in Paint) of the achievement being gotten.

That’s all.

Nevermind.

Topic: Kongregate / Platform Racing Cleanup

That tag actually would be helpful for testing tag related features. It’s unique, and in a good amount of games here. I don’t think it’s really spam, but it is more or less doing what favorite games is suppose to be doing…

Alright, I’m gonna edit out those comments in the initial post..
