This game is just broken at this point. It's not even consistent where the hit box is for the arrows. Just a miserable game and I hate that it keeps being badge of the day.

Maybe not great as Badge of the day, but I suggest you do the first song. It is the easiest one. It's hard because it is a "Beatmania" game (as far as I know games like this belong to that type of games).
The last thing I can say is: get good. Put effort in it. You can make it.

Finally got Train wreck -- the key is holding the hold notes until you have to play the next hold note (since they're no penalty for that), instead of trying to let go around the right time, at risk of being marked off as "too early". Barring that, I think speedfreak gave me the most trouble. I felt like I had to rush - especially the bridge - for it to be marked as perfect.

After 8 years on here, finally went after an impossible badge. Didn't ever think it'd be in a rhythmic game, but there's something about it that's both relaxing and requiring total concentration that just draws you in.

Gonna have to disagree with Betrayal of Fate being that difficult; I managed to perfect it in under 20 minutes. Perfected the last song 1 take after a sight read, too. The most difficult for me were Train Wreck (Most notes/highest score + first song with a tough held/tap section), Speedfreak (Bridge near the ending), and Plan A (Mixture of both). Once those 3 are out of the way, everything else seems like a cake walk in comparison.

@DokiNabi - I agree the last song is not the hardest. For me, I could get all of them except Train wreck -- I can get it with 0 errors, but I could swear it's not recording all the hits.

Unlike what you'd expect, the most troublesome song to perfect is not the last one, it's either Plan A or Betrayal of Fate

The radiation fallout in Kongregate studios melted half of some intern's brain in there and caused him to choose this badge.

As usual it is a laggy freeze up nightmare just like the other games in this series. Why the heck do these have badges?

Wow, so many things to hate about this genre of game. First, it's as unlike playing music as you can get because of latency issues. Second, it trivializes music into a couple of basic key presses that have no correlation to music, (chords 1,2,3,4 instead of relative voicing like 1,4,5) exacerbated by the more or less arbitrary decision by the coder as to what notes and beats are important. Third, the music is always designed to appeal to 14 year olds, but the gaming populace in general is actually older than that, and fourth, it is destined to be bearable at best to anyone who doesn't usually listen to thrash metal. For the first time in a long time I'm taking a pass on the first BOTD of the week.

These ####ing knots-in-your-fingers-games should not be allowed to have badges at all! I think I have to inform Kongs handicapped assignee About that… :-)

People are really hatin on this game, huh? I mean the graphics are definitely showing their age but it mostly seems like people are mad they can't figure out how to play it. Or they just hate rhythm games in general, which is fine but yeesh.

Don't know why this is a BOTD game. Pretty low grade with no difficulty scaling. Goes from doable to impossible. 1 star game. Looks like I'm not the only one.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The sort of game I wish I could give negative stars to; I already rated it 1 star last time it was BotD, so every time I'm forced to come back to it I want to rate it down even more. I get that with a music themed kongpanion it would make sense for this game to show up, but couldn't it be BotD for later in the week, like Saturday or Sunday when it is entirely optional? It is discouraging for the first BotD of the week to be something that no one likes.

After trying Chaos Within, I've come to the realization I should just be satisfied with my one award point and no badge and simply move along to hope for a more playable game somewhere else in the week. I imagine this must've been good when it was first released, but having to spam the down key to even have a chance of catching the sudden uptick in the lowermost bar is borderline absurd. Agreeing with statements regarding taking it off BOTD rotation, it's become rather dated.

... this is really easy, just press the key when it come, even a 3 yrs old baby can do this, idk why people say this is hard

I remember this game actually being good and fun, but time has not been kind to it. Mostly because future Flash updates completely messed with the timing, so getting excellent scores is really hard. Somebody needs to move the SCGMD series to HTML5 or something.
