Under rating threshold (show) Does it mean I'm bad that the highest I can get is like 1000, while Reckless gets 3000 in one turn?

Under rating threshold (show) Is it me or does the computer just get really lucky. I was at 10900 and the computer only had 7800 when the final round started. He won.

Under rating threshold (show) I lost 5 times in a row. I had reached 11300 points, the computer only has 7000, and out of nowhere it pulls 4 thousand points out of who knows where. Fun game, I just feel cheated.

Under rating threshold (show) Game itself is good, but Reckless's ability to get free rolls so often (moreso when you have advantage) means it is no fun playing, as Reckless will win anyway

Under rating threshold (show) As a computer I'm fed up of cheating humans. I'll be 5000 points in front and then humans are all like "lol quit game that was just a test lets play again" and I'm all like :( so I play again and again until they find a perfect win for them that wasn't a test. Please stop the human's ability to cheat. K thnx.

Under rating threshold (show) I believe the creator that the game isn't rigged. However, I disagree with his claim that it is more than a very tiny bit skill-based. "Skill" in this game comes from a series of simple probability math; the optimal strategy is not that difficult to calculate. However, even using such a strategy against the "easy" CPU, the winner is still far more likely to be the player who rolls more 1000+-scoring turns, which has virtually nothing to do with skill. This is made worse by the "awards", which largely seem to be about having absurd lucky streaks. On that note, luck-based games should NEVER have Hard badges IMO. 2/5

Under rating threshold (show) My game is not saving. I have checked and it's not a problem on other games on Kongregate. Anybody got a solution to this or also have this problem? Rate up if you also have this problem.

Under rating threshold (show) One of my all-time favourite games on Kong, so sad to just now find out its creator is no longer among us... This would have been hugely successful on iOS/Android if you add some features and live leaderboards :/

Under rating threshold (show) The "X Zilch-free games in a row" badges have got to be some of the most angry-making ones on this site. I can't even say how glad I am to finally be past them and all the other win-streak ones. At last, I can just play the game for actual fun!!

Under rating threshold (show) I like this game but I have terrible luck, there should be less luck and more strategy. I suggest making the minimum bank amount be 200 points. This way if you are way ahead of the comp and want a zilch free game you can play tight. 90% of my zilches are given before I have the option to bank. Also this way it causes really tight players to take more chances because it'll be a lot harder to win a game in increments of 200 compared to increments of 300 points at a time. Just a thought for a sequel or even an update.

Under rating threshold (show) I love this game! I read your blog post about Realist, though, and one thing drove me crazy. (I'm an English major, I can't help it.) "Dice" is plural--"the player clicked the option to keep four dice." The singular form is "die". "The player became angry when Realist kept only one die." Please, in discussing your dice-based game in the future, please remember this? Maybe I'm crazy but it bugs the crap out of me. Thanks! Again, LOVE the game. 5/5

Under rating threshold (show) This might be the only game I've ever see use the badge API correctly, so that the "currently: " text is actually what you're currently at. We had this right in 2008 people! Come on!
