Kongregate Brag Board

[_Zenith_]

I think once I get organized after I move I'll get back into Kong.

I'm iirc level 22 or 24 so I have a good head start

[Bynary Fission]

I'm level 38 currently. My tag is BynaryFission, if you or anybody else wants to add me I'll gladly accept. I'm basically the only one posting here though - seems like FFR's Kong phase has kinda passed by since I signed up in December '08.

[Gradiant]

I did get this one yesterday, 2nd impossible (1st was meatboy) on this account, 3rd on the site as a whole (got the hexiom one on old account)

[Bynary Fission]

Very nice Imp get, haven't obtained that one yet. How difficult was that badge for you to get? I'm trying to get as many impossible badges as I can and they don't really have a "core" difficulty - the ones I have gotten have ranged from fairly easy to soul-crushingly impossible.

[Gradiant]

One of the easiest ones I think, hardest part was the game locking up on me mid-song for some reason, just restarted until I was able to get a lag-free run.

[rushyrulz]

dj maniax was fun. There needs to be more rhythm games on kong.

[Bynary Fission]

YES YES YES YES YE- oh hey, I got the first two badges on this game on December 22nd, 2008. This one's an oldie for sure. But yeah, I've been playing this fucking game for four days getting all of the medals. Thank *god* this badge is out of the way and done with forever. The Purifier badge was the last one I got; in hindsight killing every Amalgam I saw with grenades wasn't such a good idea.

[MyNameIsNothing]

your imp game is too strong bynary.

If you're looking for some of the more fun ones (in my opinion), I highly recommend Rogue Soul 2, Vertigo Gravity Llama, Focus, Run 2, DJManiax, Super Stacker 2, and Fold.

Dino Run is also a lot of fun, but the imp itself takes a solid 30 hours and the last bit can be really boring.

Keep it up though, you'll definitely pass me in imps if you keep up your current pace.

[Bynary Fission]

I'm just trying to make up for lost time, since I went almost four years without getting a single Imp badge. I'll make your 24 a goal to beat!

I did try DJManiax, I cruised on easy street all the way up to the songs needed to the impossible badge and crapped out hard. Doing some of those on the mouse is damn near physically impossible, and I don't know that I can manage it with the keyboard. Fortunately I've got a ton of other badges to get, so I'll check out your suggestions.

[MyNameIsNothing]

Ah yeah, DJM imp pretty much requires using keyboard, but it's not too bad once you get the hang of it.

(Also I just noticed you don't have the first Meat Boy imp haha, that one is super easy, you can knock it out in under an hour if you're good enough at platformers, definitely give it a shot)

[Bynary Fission]

Well, I *did* manage to get the Imp badge on MoneySeize, something my soul is still recovering from...so I'll definitely give it a shot! I can't imagine it'll be any harder to be perfectly honest.

[Bynary Fission]

Wow, you were right. This badge was a complete joke to get, although it took me closer to an hour and a half. Also lol at getting the Imp badge before the Hard one. I'll try re-beating the last level, maybe it just didn't register.

EDIT: Yep, that was it. Fortunately the last level doesn't really require any platforming skill haha.

[Bynary Fission]

So you know what? I got 49,778 points on the Endless Survival mode after about an hour of playing it. It took me another six to finally break 50k. Fuck this badge lol.

[Bynary Fission]

Boy, this game and I have some history. I got the easy badge in 2010, the medium badge in 2011, and finally the hard and impossible ones in 2015. I also remember this game being really, really hard - I only had 27 of the 50 trophies needed to get the Hard badge when I started. As it turns out, the impossible badge was actually not all that difficult once I learned to be smart about the risks I took getting certain gems and items. Again, somewhere along the line I got a huge skill boost at playing flash games apparently.

Bynary influenced me... I got Epic Boss Fighter on the 14th, Rogue Soul 2 today (almost a week of playing on and off) and then somehow managed Oo about 4 hours later

I'm working on Hippolyta and Cardinal Quest 2...

Wow, very nice gets, especially on Oo! I'd have to say getting BAC on Track was the worse of the two - Rogue Soul just required consistency, but Oo was honestly insanity-inducing.

For Cardinal quest, I strongly recommend using the Ranger class on either acts 2 or 3 - the bow&arrow and the dog were invaluable in killing enemies from a safe distance, especially once you hit the Wastelands in Act 3 (which is the act I played for the badge).

By the way, what's your Kong username? I'll be sure to add you.

[qqwref]

Oo was really crazy, yeah. I had a weird strategy for the Drunk part (which paid off), which was doing the normal endless mode first, then doing all four levels on Drunk mode to get used to it, and then doing Drunk endless. It probably took me less than 5 tries to get the 50 points after that

Ranger does seem really good, but the game definitely does get hard, even on normal difficulty. (I don't actually have the hard yet!) I know you have to go pretty fast to get the Imp badge, but you also have to be strong enough to defeat the final boss, so I imagine it'll take some playing around to get the tradeoffs right...

I'm qqwref on Kongregate, by the way

What I'd suggest is that you try and collect whatever treasure you can and kill any enemies you see, but never search the map trying to find that last treasure chest or enemy - you'll wind up wasting a lot of time that way. I finished my run at around 55 minutes of game time comfortably above the 120k mark, though I did break my own rule a little bit in regards to not hunting down the last enemies. Getting EXP is more important than treasure as you *really* don't want to be underleveled in the later stages.

Added you as a friend, by the way.

[Bynary Fission]

Every time I have to get a badge that demands hours and hours of grinding, a little piece of my soul withers away. I remember playing this game years ago - I got the first two badges in 2009 and sucked too much to get the other two. This badge wasn't actually hard to get, it just took freaking forever.

I played until level 53 since the badge was slow to register my getting to level 50.

[Gradiant]

Yo Bynary, have you got the Impossible for Gravitee yet? I'm only 5 Platinum medals away from getting it, really not all that hard except for the later rounds were being a few pixels off can nudge your shot just off of the hole.
