they badged a game that forces you to allow tracking to play!!!! a new low for Kongregate. I think I'm done with this site for now.

If you're complaining about the wrong tags such as "Bullet Hell", frankly, were I looking for Bullet Hell games and found *this*, I'd be pretty ticked.

@cgeorge2 Much as I dislike this game, I think that's the best move. It's very annoying to be trying to find, say, games about viruses and have the results filled with garbage games instead. We should keep complaints in the comments section where they won't affect other games.

You think of all the idle games to give badges to first, it wouldn't be this one. As far as idle games go, this is really basic and it takes forever to level up from 1 to 2, much less 3 for the medium badge. It's decently made, I'll give it that.

Putting badges on an idle game, at least put it on a GOOD idle game like Trimps. This game is extremely boring and the constant reminder that you can pay to make the game faster.
It's to bait badge junkies to pay for their garbage, which is a smart play, although scummy.
Instead of complaining more I'll just spam the shops for not even a minute and leave. Oh, and enjoy another 1-star rating.

Oh wow, Kong nuked some of the user-defined tags. Definitely shows how much they respect the userbase and our opinions, especially after having shoved badges onto this abomination.

So Thrilling! This game takes it to the next level in idle fun, they stripped all the annoyances of normal idle games like clicking so that all we, the audience, can simply watch some game count up to an extremely high number . Exciting! Highly recommended!

This game is so bad the burger animation is complete garbage. You can't put ketchup on the bottom, AND THEN MOVE THE KETCHUP UP TO THE TOP AT THE END. STOP BREAKING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. Also it'll take about a week to finish the medium badge without buying anything, so good luck everyone.

Can y'all stop adding the "Virus" and "Horror" tags to games like these? We get it, the game's an idle game with microtransactions. You don't have to subvert the tagging system to express how absolutely OUTRAGEOUS kongregate's badges have become. Just leave an angry comment and rate it 1 star, you know?

Even as far as idle games go, this one is subpar. Due to the large timers, new runs take forever - and the city levels very slowly as well. On top of all that there is very little new content on each run to make it interesting.
Thank you Robinsin for Sharing you thoughts! We will suggest to give it a few days, once you unlock the event the game will progress a lot faster and of course don't forget to reset frequently ;) As you proceed further in the game you will be surprised with the new content!

Almost a 4 star rating, yet one of the top comments is literally just "The game is terrible". Just more proof that the rating system on Kong isn't worth a glance anymore.

Who actually pays to win idle games? I'm just here for the badges otherwise this tedious bag of crap wouldn't get the time of day on my PC.

I'm glad the "aggregate rating" is normalizing slowly to where it should be. But this and similar games never should have had the 4+ stars that it had around the time of badging. This is a prime example of why aggregate systems have such a bad reputation for artificially boosting ratings.

Another one of those games, where everyone ask themselves how on earth this game got badges (and good ratings). It's so obvious now that devs pay Kong for the badges. No other explanation possible.

Remember when Greg used to be happy about giving well deserved badges to a game and he commented and everyone upvoted him?

the person who balanced this game, really knows how to slow down an idle game to the point where its too boring. Nothing to do actively at least early on so just go offline and come back so you do not get bored while playing this game.

Also DEV should add something like income boost for watching an ad. It's a great option to get some more money, and people actually don't mind those since they are not mandatory. But they still watch the ads coz it doesn't cost them anything, only a a bit of time and they get the "advantage"

Anyone wanna review bomb it on Steam? Muhuahahahahahaaaa! There's not a ton of reviews so you can make a difference. Join the war.

Tip: At least on Chrome the game seems to fall behind, so if you refresh every so often you'll get a massive boost in money and resources at it plays catch up. The optimum is surely more often than the 12 hours for the login boost.

Here's some general advice about comments on how to get badges: only make them AFTER you get those badges. NightmareBC666's may be a good comment for reaching level 2, but it says nothing about how to overcome the pain that starts then.

Idle games should do at least one of the following things: have a sense of humour (eg Tangerine Tycoon), give you something nice to look at (eg Dungeon Crusher), give you something to click (clickers), be complicated enough that you essentially end up with an interesting optimisation problem (eg Realm Grinder), have in-game achievements (these can just be milestones, or more complicated as in Realm Grinder), or have some mini-games to break the monotony of grinding (eg Anti-Idle). This game doesn't seem to have anything interesting. If it gets more interesting later on as new features are added, it does a bad job of conveying that to the new player. All I can see here is "wait until you can build enough of X building so you can buy the most obvious available upgrade", and I'm not going to stick around for more of the same.

The one thing that makes Idle games better to be badged than the pay-2-win, money begging, trumped up, unbalanced, energy system MMOs, is that at least I don't have to waste nearly as much time actually "playing" it, as the Idle aspect can eventually make most of the progress over time, which I can be accomplishing something else meanwhile.

Medium badge advice:
-Make sure you pick up the daily bonus and get the daily code from Facebook. A couple of 2 Hour boosts can take a ton of active play time off the badge requirement.
-Invest in the second row of buildings. The resources they give you make a massive difference to how quickly you can progress.
-No matter how aggressively you play, the badge will take a couple of days. (Unless you spend real cash, of course)
-The game generates money at the same rate whether you're online or offline. Unless you're buying stuff, there's no point in having the game on.
-Remember that rating a game gives you a Kong point, and rating it low can send a message that you don't want to see these kinds of games be badged.

I love idle games, when they are interesting and made with love, like realm grinder, I can even give devs money in that case. But here we have just a heap of generic cheap junk.

I really wish Kong would stop badging idle games, if only to stop badge hunters from mucking up a chilled out comment section.

An idle game that needs to cover its ass with a ToC confirmation? Yeah, no thanks. Badge points aren't worth this -- enjoy yet another annoyed 1* rating.

Wow, why are people overreacting about this game? Yeah, it's unoriginal and it's basically P2W, but most games like this are. The same can be said about games on your phone.
Also, just because a game is badged doesn't mean it's a good game. Games from a decade ago are getting badged more than newer ones, while they're undeserving of them. I'm personally not complaining about them, it fills the extra time I have everyday.
Overall, newer games on this site that aren't nearly identical to ones from the past are hard to come by these days, so play them if they fit your interest.
