Under rating threshold (show) After playing briefly, my intention was to rate this game 3/5. After finally getting the hard badge, I rated it 1/5. This is an honest rating because I honestly hated it by the end. I would say the hard badge should be impossible, but really this game doesn't deserve badges at all. The game is not hard so much as it is stupid, and there are a few basic problems: (1) the tail is too long and too unresponsive; (2) the locational damage of armor and blades abuses the sloppy control; (3) powerups are far too rare; (4) objects dart in from nowhere at random times and random speeds; (5) the claustrophobic screen has too little space to maneuver. These are all examples of Fake Difficulty, and the game is far too reliant on luck. Futility is having swarmers spawn directly on chunks of tail, and this perfectly encapsulates the Oroboros gameplay experience.

Under rating threshold (show) OK - I was willing to let the fact that the game had no tutorial slide, and the first lvl seemed intruiging; the idea of the game was to protect your tail and eat stuff I thought, fine. Then in the next level it tells me to attack with my tail whilst protecting it... And in the next level it tells me that I have to destroy my food to protect my tail so that i can use it to kill things. WTF?

Under rating threshold (show) Easy badge doesn't seem to be working. Sliced close to 10 seekers - no badge. Though that the progress wasn't just updating until I got five. Also, there appears to be no high scores recently, so be warned if you are not awarded for your efforts.

Under rating threshold (show) Ok, an explanation for those confused. 1. Energy Bombs are for the little antimatter particles that look like food. They will destroy all your food(which might be good since food can hurt you, too), AND all of the purple antimatter gobs. 2. Blades: Each segment will gain blades. If you hit a seeker with a BLADED segment, the seeker dies. If you hit a seeker with a naked segment while having some segments bladed, he will latch on. Every time you hit anything with a bladed segment, the blades degrade some. 3. This game is not about destroying things. It's about dodging and surviving. Be happy there is ANY way to destroy things at all. Your focus should be: Dodge > Eat > Destroy. 4. The way to get a high score is, as Luisn said, to get a big multiplier in the beggining levels.

Under rating threshold (show) I can't find any way to tell if my blades are activated or not. What does a bladed segment look like? Which enemies are seekers? I'm only here for the badge, I've played 5 times, and killed 1 thing (somehow, at some time, no idea when).

Under rating threshold (show) Hard badge seekers: Do not be discouraged by your low score! Keep playing! I was around 60,000 when I hit the level with lots of seekers and blades. That level boosted my score to over 150,000. A few levels later there is nothing but food, just collect the food and increase your multiplier (agility and cohesion help scoop up food without losing your tail). My mutli went to 20 and my score was over 600,000. With that multiplier on the following level my score was over 1,000,000 in no time! The scoring system is silly, yes, but just keep in mind that being at 40,000 does not mean you are THAT far from the hard badge. Just stay alive and keep playing, look for that all-food level!

Under rating threshold (show) this game is a very interesting idea and design, its just WAY WAY WAY the hell too hard. There is NO way to protect all of your tail once it is above 4 segments, it is just too long and there are just too many enemies. After 30 minutes of playing, I am only at 40,000 points... how the hell are we supposed to get 1 million? that hard badge is complete bullsh*t

Under rating threshold (show) Tip for the easy badge, so you don't have to play this game any longer than necessary: get the Blades power up near the end of the 1st level, upgrade your Blade ability at the Evo screen, kill the Seekers in Level 2 with your blades. Once you finish the level and return to the Evo screen, click "Start a new game" and repeat the process. 5 minutes, you're done, and you don't have to bother with this mess of a game anymore.

Under rating threshold (show) False Difficulty, 'nuff said. Game is incredibly challenging not because of depth of the game but because the tail is out of control 90% of the time and there are so many projectilces. Love the concept but I can't say I enjoyed this game very much :^/

Under rating threshold (show) for those not knowing norse mythology, which is probably most of us, Ouroboros was a giant serpent-like dragon who circled the world like a belt, and had to put his tail in his mouth.

Under rating threshold (show) Badge guide: 1st level - collect energy, build up combo, don't lose no segment. In the upgrade menu max out armor. 2nd level - you will get first blades bonus and then armor, but don't fight with the bug, just avoid it. Next you can upgrade whatever you want, but stamina will be useful. 3rd - press space as soon as you hear explosion - that indicates purple guys spawning. Play it safe. You will get invincible bonus, use it, and when there's one second left, use the bomb for cautious. Repeat until it's over. 4th level is the hardest - just try to avoid the enemy, use your stamina, but if you fail one segment, it's cool, I made it even though. Armor will give you three hit protection from energy balls, so when you get blades at this level, just switch them back to armor. At 5th just stay in the middle and gather energy moving horizontally. Use stamina to avoid eventual collisions. Next level is just a matter of colecting couple energy balls and you've got yourself a badge. Hope it helps!

Under rating threshold (show) 1/5 would become a lot better if it wasn't for the fact that the energy that you have to collect didn't damage your tail too

Under rating threshold (show) I hate it, I press X because I've just got the bonus to do it. But there is absolutely no obvious signs that you've done it right. I've died so many times just bevause I thought that it was alright. And you can't know when the effect will end.

Under rating threshold (show) I believe we were all dead all of a sudden and came down the comment section to look for an explanation. The game is pretty dumb in not teaching us the basics - What is the point of knowing what weapons we have without knowing who is the enemy? Or what everything on the screen flying around are??

Under rating threshold (show) I can tell you put a lot of time into this game, but it is just terrible. It is pretty much impossible to slice anything with the blades, you can be killed by your food, it just sucks. It's just awful.

Under rating threshold (show) The easy badge is actually very easy to get. For the first upgrade max out your tail of blades and you can slice two seekers in the 2nd round with the tail of blades power-up. Restart and repeat until you get 5, show people that's how you get one of the lowest earned easy badges.

Under rating threshold (show) the easy badge is not that hard, when you first get the blades a seeker will come and u will probably inadvertently kill it, and from my experience u pretty much have to play through it five times getting that same exact kill. I can't even begin to imagine how to get the hard badge...after a while, i seemed to understand the mechanics of the game but my highest score was around 50K. Altogether, interesting concept but poor execution (and badging; looking at you kong)

Under rating threshold (show) Actually a very easy HARD badge to get so long as you spend ALL of your time avoiding enemies. Ignore blades, ignore armor. Those powerups are so rare so as to be useless (the only exception is the level with constant blade powerups, and the level with ZERO enemies). Just keep avoiding everything, and you'll get a million points easy.

Under rating threshold (show) Yay got the badge. A tip for all of those struggling out there: You want to not get hit at all the first couple levels, maxing out your bonus tail to like x20 will get you to 1,000,000 easily, I got x20, then got hit and went back up to x16 somehow. (Use your evos on segment cohesion and retraction stamina, mainly segment cohesion though)

Under rating threshold (show) Small guide: Everything kills you and in later levels it happens fast. Blades are single use and kill Seekers and Clusters (the energy) but Seekers take 3 hits or upgraded blades. Armor protects against Clusters without destroying them and upgrading increases the number of hits each can take. Armor is the best upgrade, max it first. You get 3 upgrade points per level except the first where you get 6. You can get the hard badge by taking no damage for the first 5 levels. However, what I assume is a glitch (I think it has something to do with power-ups spawning) will cause your Max Tail multiplier (top left number) to desync from your standard one (number that pops up on screen) so it may take longer depending on bad luck.

Under rating threshold (show) to get the easy achievement well easily just play level 1 and 2 and kill 2 seekers each time. Because the kills are cumulative between games just start new game after level 2 and it should only take about 10 min (3 games) to win.
