@Archerbob -- Have impossible badge and beyond. Got it before they changed everything for the worse\ I'll leave the image share up if anyone wants to look. I am 100% legit, never spent a kred, and like I said I finished before the changes. https://ibb.co/Kh586vx I have 41 energy trees running, 13 coin trees, at least 2 dozen max tier Rainbow Pots. Stop by Discord and ask questions lol

I gave up on this game at level 24. after months of saving up gems to buy the additional islands, the devs switched ALL BUT ONE to real money only. Sad to put that much work into an enjoyable game and have the rug pulled out with no warning. I'm done now.

You know what I would pay real $ for in relation to this game? A program some genius comes up with to autoplay the game itself. Even better if it could be universal to all games like this and Idle games, as long as there is a template of any given game that is set into the program to know what to do. X out of any and all pay ads, set priority preferences of when, on what and to what degree/amount of time to spend energy, special times to spend special currency like gems, what structures to focus on building, etc. Most of all, something you could leave on 24/7 on any device, so you can have it constantly going while you do literally anything else in other windows/tabs. I wouldn't mind being device specific, as I have a lapt-op besides my PC. I wouldn't pay a lot for something like this, but at this point with things like this "game", I'd find it worth it enough to save time, which can't be recovered once lost, especially since some badges are purposely made to take 12+ months.

I like the fact how the developer response to one of the top comments specifically states that this is a product, not a game. And that is exactly what this feels like, alongside the plentiful clones they have made of this same thing.

There's another badged game by the same developer that is pretty much the exact same game just differently skinned. Mindless microtransaction ridden boredom.

Just when I thought they couldn't add anymore predatory microtransactions I see a bug with a balloon attached to it. So click it and well well well spend 9 kreds for some items. When is this going to stop? Greedy devs.

6 different UI buttons asking you to spend real money. 3 more on the game field buttons asking for more real money. A fly by button occasionally asking for more money... I have barely played so I can only imagine how many more are going to show up.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
waay too many microtransactions going on to unlock basic features of the game. What a waste. Could be a good game otherwise.

Yeah, seriously; revisions are for making the game better. The only revisions these money grubbers ever make is to restrict the player and hold their wallet hostage. Although, what would one expect when it's owned by China? (based in Singapore)

Before you try for any badges (or in other words "Heed Our Warnings": 1. Any of the simple badges will take a little time. We say this because everything and anything is time gated in the game. You'll start with seconds, move to minutes, then will hit the day+ mark. 2. Devs hate you. Everything was (and we mean WAS) achievable without spending real $. If your thinking about the impossible - think again. You WILL be spending real $ if you want this badge within a year or two. We are dead serious. 3. Merge in highest amounts you possibly can. Higher amounts = better merges = faster progress. BUT again real $ is the driving force here. Don't expect anything fast or cheap. 4. Expeditions: You'll have one shot at them and then have to wait possibly up to a year for it to return. All you are getting is a useless item to decorate your island in one spot with. We'd be better off if dev just gave us the 4 squares to use instead. If you want the badge quickly, good luck.

When is there going to be a sale on the lands where we can buy them with rubies instead of money? Like it used to be!! Rubies are almost worthless now, and I have tons of lands I'll never pay for.

10 bucks for the Event pass for Shopping Season now. I would love to see anyone who spends 10 bucks on that to post here with their reasoning.

The translation is absolutely terrible, the game is unplayable in my native language. Don't do localisations if you have to do it in so shitty way.

i just wasted 25 diamonds cuz shop moved in last second making me clicking on wrong thing, and it just bought with no conformation

Everyone I have a great idea: Instead of spending the roughly $168 to unlock things here - go get on Steam and spend that money to support some good Indie developers instead. Vampire Survivors I'm looking at you. Eventually new players are going to realize what a crock of crap this is now and find better ways to spend money.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
$168 approx to open up all areas in the game now? If I could give negative stars I would. This has got to be one of the most moronic dev moves on kong I have had the sad displeasure to witness. Losers.

Hey DEVS!! How about a sale on the land for RUBIES!! I worked my ass off to finally be able and make enough ruby chests to have 13,000 rubies, and they are now virtually worthless. I can't buy a single extra space of land without spending money, and there's not enough room to play well without the extra space.
Guess you want me to go play something else.

MunaAlaneme "> : ( I WASTED 84 GEMS FOR NOTHING!" Yup, and that's how it's predatorily designed. Notice the gem/finish button is so big for what it is? It takes up about half the distance into the next space on both sides and bottom. It is meant to be too easy to click on.

Well, this is a surprise-got myself 2k rubies and guess what happened? The areas that could be bought were changed! Instead of having 2 (ruby)expensive & larger places to buy, I instead had only 1 smaller & cheaper area to buy! Unless, of course, I suddenly found the means & any possible reason to spend real $ on this game.... which will be the butt end of never.

Developer: Making most things that were rubies before and changing them to Kreds on a website that literally died of cancer years ago. Nice job. I am sure most of the hardcore / daily players will definately not be spending kreds. Your basically picking on the casual base of players with very predatory pricing who don't know all the ways to farm resources efficiently to combat your absurd amounts of time to build late game. I'm still here because of my OCD and some very good mates in Discord - not because I am finding the game a great way to relax (I have my Steam library for that). I just hope everyone that stops by to play swings into Discord so we can coach them how to beat you at your game: efficient farming of rubies, coins, genies and you don't have to spend a cent and give it to these greedy btards. Wish Dev would stop by and actually talk to their player base but that won't happen.

Antonrox, you have to get to level 8, then the Travel Book will be available to go to different Worlds. Zoo Village is permanent and does not count as an expedition, but all other's that appear do, and are all the rest, temporary. Anyway, when the first one appears (should be Dragonia), click it in the Travel Book to go there. Now just wait for it to end and that will be counted as completed. You can do things there if you want, but don't have to in order to get the badge.

minimeowns, because they designed it like that on purpose. Notice that's the only thing without a confirm option, and it's oversized for what it is? It literally covers half of whatever is below it, making that hard to click without hitting that button. It's just like all the other conniving aspects of games like this. Remember: the goal is NOT to make a fun game (to do so is pure coincidence), it's to make money. You can see it with the "offers" costing Kreds constantly being shoved in our faces on a frequent and regular basis, as well as the massive pictures/icons covering so much of the sides of the screen. They'll extremely likely never make a confirm for this like literally everything else or an undo option, because that would scrub the likelihood one would spend real $. One more note: I went to the home page from the developer's Kongregate profile, and it's just another thing based in... Singapore f***ing China. That should tell you all you need to know right there.

Why on EARTH is there no CONFIRM BUTTON for GEMS??? Just wasted 70 upgrading something I would have been happy to come back in 2 hours time...

To complete Explorer Extraordinaire Badge you don't need to comlete all expedition. Just start it and wait till it ends.

The concept of the gaming elements itself is something I liked. Merging items in a variety of sequences while managing (or trying to) stockpiling resources to get the best bonuses vs. the availability of tiles is fun, adding a "kingdom building" theme to this is also interesting.
The gaming elements, sadly constitute only a minor part of this "game" - the main elements seem to be related to buying the ingame currency. This is present in each and every screen of the game, with ads (!) for various ingame currency "offers" popping up every several minutes and when changing from screen to screen. There are much more details to be described, but this "game" is not worth the words I am typing right now.
If not for the Kong quest requiring a particular achievement to be made, I would not have continued playing past the 10th currency ad, so the total playitme would not have been beyond 2 minutes.
I strongly recommend avoiding, unless you prefer ad-watching to playing.

Finished last building in Lunar. Game is 100% finished main map. I got in early too so i got all areas bought without kreds. Going to stick around and see how far i can take just the Wooden Castle - with it's 15 minute max building going to be funny. Never spent any $ - it's a semi shame they are locking certain chunks behind a paywall. wooooooo go voltron force!

I am pretty surprised dev has added some new features to the game. It really seemed like they didn't do anything for a good stretch. I am almost finished main map but I'm gonna stick around after and see what happens now.

I'm not against Dev making money but I am against some of the predatory purchases in the game. imo buying the $25 ruby is a little worth it - until you find a square and start making it rain rubies.

It wasn't all the locked areas- just the least expensive. There's 1 or 2 that cost over 1,000 rubies that haven't been changed- at least, not yet in my game.

@JimsterLB- Wait did they seriously change the areas from rubies to kreds? That does not surprise me and what a sh*** thing to do. This honestly has to be one of the worse things a dev has done on Kong.

@redspirit1 - you can't change the chests back. Just learn from this mistake and do not open anymore areas until you think your ready for the chest switch - imo that is a good idea.

Hello, I got a problem with resource shop and free chest. I was finished with stones and afterward opened a new area with bamboo. The chest type in the resource shop has changed to bamboo chest, as it should. After only one day of bamboo gathering, because I had a lot of keys, I also opened a new area and saw a blue predator, which gave me the first crystal. Afterward, the chest type in the resource shop changes to crystals!!! But I just started with bamboo and it for sure will take time to collect and upgrade the bamboo-line. Is there any possibility to change the type of chests in the resource shop to bamboo back?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Did the few areas I have left to unlock just change from the cost being gems to freakin' kong kreds?? I know for a fact you had to pay gems weeks ago, cause I checked regularly. But now it's kreds? Are you mental, devs?!

Cmon what is this crap - another way to try and monetize this game. TRUST ME you do not need to spend a dime to finish this or be successful at it.
