i agree with hottiechika it needs badges but i cant figure out how they assign badges, popular games have no badges while rubbish crappy games have them, i dont understand! !!!

That a silly strat. You only get 300 base points. You can get triple that easily if you try. Not to mention you get far more for destroying all buildings on the field than not using gem bombs...

Hmmm. It's a little too easy to game the Endurance badges. Just keep "winning" by building nothing and sending 30 waves, and you'll get points for "winning" 60 badges in no time. Plus, 900 points for each level on which you do this - because no bomb, no towers, no traps... x3!

Umbjabaya, if you didn't like the first why play the 2nd? your view differs from most everyone elses there fore maybe this isnt the game for you... Hope you didn't actually give it a 1 as that's rather stupid.

DominusEst, u got XP if u replay the game with higher score, (New score - old score = what u get )
NINJADusk2Dawn, lv id 73 and 75 allows u to get more than 20.000 XP. I got 80K XP the last level, but the score is reset on load (someone get 3,8M XP). lol, When u fight the 120+ wave, the monster HP is 2M+.
I put all towers with minimum grade 8 gems and traps with minimum grade 7. The monsters keeps coming, becoz the HP is 2M+.

u dont get any EXTRA exp....only if your score improves u get exp.....or if you play it on modes, u havent played it on before......

i mean, on MAP 1-5, u use gem-lvl 3
that means, u always wait for 500 mana or so and put on of those in a good positioned tower...with this, positioning is everything
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
first i thought this game was really hard....but here an advise: i finished every game by just creating the 3rd gem, later the 4th, then 5th.......like the first 5 lvl or so, just build the third gem, about 3 oif them and position them good....u dont need traps....should be easy

Continued: Sponge for that just for a review a truly HONEST review not one that you change to mach what the public likes is righter than anything most others would think of and it takes a lot of guts for you may loose online friends and gain a lot of critism from people who know NOTHING about you and know not of what you like but only what you really hate. I think letting to different points like these collide in arguing though is pointless at first it had some thought but it is losing that fast I am sorry but that to me is sad and for all of thoses that actually read this I personally thank you and I am sorry for any misspellings.

I agree with both of you sides for the facts that the middle ground is important because would you like to make a sequel to one of you games and just because people think it is a rip off of the first rate it a 1/5 you would want to go ballistic for say if you game had a 4/5+ rating just because you can not think of better ideas just like my favorite RTS game Command & Conquer the plot doesn't change just the units people and universes.

Queens, the new wave hotkey is disabled after a wave comes naturally. I believe it's so you don't get two waves by accident. Just click on the left side again to manually send the new wave. The key should work again.

Heheheh. Sponge, is it more fun than playing something DIFFERENT, though? :) RickBob, I haven't played Halo 3 yet -- no 360. My point was this: If you believe this game offers nothing new over the original, that's fine. If you think that, though, then your rating shouldn't be much different. Anyone who rated the first one a 4 or 5 shouldn't rate this any lower than 3 or 4. Shouldn't we give sequels a little bit of a break with regards to originality? You can't change it too much or it won't feel like a sequel.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i agree completely with everything sponge said. also to Huzzah- we know theres a middle ground it just isn't deserving. it's like halo 3 compared to 2. they just improved the graphics.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't know, Huzzah. How much time and energy are you (and others) going to devote to arguing with me? I provided my honest review, and I'm catching flak for it. As it seems, most people providing said flak don't have any arguments beyond "this is a great game!" I'll continue "trashing" this game until people stop giving me reasons to continue. To be honest, I'm good with keeping this up for a while. It's a helluva lot more fun than actually playing this thing.

(retarded person) 1/5 no badges..... really? really? whoever decides to downrate a game because there are no badges epically fails, on every level....
anyways, great game, not much change from the first one, but still good, 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Game is just a longer version of the first one. There are some good ideas in the improvements but at the same time the repetition just makes for a tedious game. I still like the first one better because its the original. Don't worry Huzzah, i'll give it a 3 out of 5.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well, Sponge, I guess the question now is how much more time and energy are you going to devote to trashing the game when you could be playing something you enjoy more? I personally have never spent time arguing about how BAD a game is. It's not worth it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why is it that everyone who doesn't give it a 4 or 5 says he's giving it a 1? For example: Codyeo -- "Isn't really as great as most say. 1/5." Not as great...1/5? There's a middle ground, people. It's not a simple pass/fail vote, here. And using the lack of badges as justification for a low vote? This is only the fourth day the game's been on here. The Kong staff has to assess the full game to decide how many points to assign to what accomplishments. Be patient. And there are several great games on here than for one reason or another don't have badges. Try some.

Great, huzzah. I agree. Sonny 2 sucked-- huge letdown. Sonny was great because it brought something new to the table. GemCraft was the same way; it brought new material into an INCREDIBLY stale genre. I wasn't a huge fan, but I believe I at least finished it. Then I go to play this, and to be honest, I may as well just be playing the old one. Granted it's been months since I've played the original, I was unable to pick out any major differences, save traps. Sonny 2 at least brought new story to the table. It also wasn't quite as grindy. I just feel like calling this version an improvement is insulting. Any changes made it worse, and changes are few.
To everyone recommending I play all modes: I have. Maybe I'd have more luck if I played 40 more games, rearranging my skills each time to find an optimum blend. I like puzzles as much as the next guy, but that's no puzzle. It's an NP-complete problem, and I don't want to jack with that. It's a game.

""A super Gem that rides a rainbow unicorn across the map decapitating monsters along the way?" YES, PLEASE! 6/5." throw some death lazors on its horn and i'll be onboard

Don't Grade it down because theres no damn BADGES! What is wrong with you people These people are wanting us to Grade there work NOT the work of kongregate Staff!

I suppose it depends on how you define grinding. Personally I'm getting a bit tired of replaying the same friggin map 8 times just get enough XP to get enough skills to advance, different modes or no different modes.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I disagree. I am level 67, I haven't arrived at the second boss yet, and I haven't played a single map twice *on the same mode* to gain more exp. 67 levels only by playing each map once on each mode. And even if skills *do* make it easier, replaying the same map on the same mode loses effectiveness quickly. On the 3rd or 4th replay you're making only a little extra xp. Of course, if you *want* to grind, feel free to do it. But you don't *have* to.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game is almost entirely grinding. I don't agree with danjost that replaying lvls and gaining xp is "getting better", because skills make it easier to beat. So as you rack up skills, you're going to inheretly get a better score and more xp. And if all you need to do is play the same 5 lvls for an unspecified amount of time to gain xp then yes, it IS grinding.

Craftsman, how about next time, actually give a reason as to why you hate the game, instead of just making yourself look like a moron? PS. That super gem sounds so bad ass. XD

And after it calculates your exp, the 'x3' symbol on the experience screen vanishes. Maybe you just didn't notice you got the x3?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
"Anyone else not getting the x3 experience from some of the special modes? "
If the mode has a blue circle around it, you will get 3x experience. If it doesn't, you won't. Not all levels have the 3x experience bonus on the same modes.
