B29 Assault 03/26/2008
 

Well... it's been a good week since my last guide. So I thought I would post the next one up. Remember, I am just posting this guides in order from last page, to first. If any of you would like to request any games. I'll be glad to post my reviews and guides for that game in priority to what I am working on. So just come drop by on the forums, register and say hi.

So, back to the guide, B29 Assault. How did you find this game to be? Is it a bit challenging? Yes, I found it to range in around the medium difficulty and I did definitely loose some lived before obtaining the badge. Did I have to cheat? No, not at all I did this without having to change any variables or _root values and such. Does that mean this is just gonna be a review? Haha... I see where your getting at. Of course not, I have little tricks in every game. Remember I do have every single accomplishment on Kongregate and  my job is to help you getting them by any means possible.

I found the game overall to be a bit different as compared to other games within the same genre. This top-down shooter flies high along the ranks of SkyForce and Raiden X. So the main question to ask here is, how does this game set itself apart from the competition? Although at first glance, you'll see that the game isn't really original. It has old-school console graphics (NES, SNES, GBA, Sega) which is great and all. It also has the same system for weapons as the other games where you have a main weapon which can be upgraded as well as a secondary weapon which may also be upgraded. In pretty much all games in this category you will find that there are bombs available for use. What this made this game impeccably great was the integration of the secondary weapon with the mouse. This is a highly original feature. The biggest example is using lightning and being able to aim with the mouse while simultaneously using the arrow keys and using the main weapon. This made the game all the more better. This implementation also created a fast-paced environment where quick reflexes are key to victory.

Anyways, lets step away from the features of the game for a moment and introduce the storyline along with (I know this is why your reading) the walkthrough.

"In the mid 21st century the world was taken over by terrorists. You come from the future to change the past and rid the world of them. You travel back in time in your radical B29 bomber that has a 23rd century upgrade. Your objective is to go to critical world locations and destroy the terrorist threat that has control of the streets." -FreeWorldGroup

That pretty much sums up the storyline. Along with the main features I explained are plenty of different upgrades for both main and secondary weapons. Use the combination that is best for you. Also, this game features huge over-the-top bosses. Which I'm sure you will enjoy.

Counter-Terrorists Win Badge (medium - 15 points)

Complete all 6 stages in B29 Assault.


If you actually enjoy this game, which I did, I recommend you play this through. As a walkthrough point for the guide I can only offer little tips and tricks I picked up. Its not that difficult of the game and should be accomplished with minimal lives lost. The only strategy I found helpful is to obviously continue moving to dodge any fire that is aimed at you. Also, to work with the weapons that you are most comfortable with. I found lightning combined with the thick-blue laser was the best for me. It could be different for you.

If you just want the badge then all you gotta do is change the _root values. This is nothing that Niflheim cannot handle. You can easily skip through the stages with near infinite lives. More information can be found in the forums. Heres a demonstration.



Well, to sum things up I highly do recommend you play this game. Should offer about an hour of fun.

"Shows how top down shooters still have alot of ways to go. The implementation with mouse and keyboard is excellent. Although, this game was not original it definitely brings something new and is well worth playing." -KongreGuide, 4/5

 
Particles 03/19/2008
 

Particles... well what can I say? This is one of the harder badges on Kongregate. Although, it can be easily accomplished if you practice enough. This review and guide well introduce you to the little tips and tricks I picked up after attempting the badge several times. For all the badge whores out there that have given up hope I have also provided with ways of beating Particles with Cheat Engine.

"Particles is a simple physics game where you dodge bouncing balls.Move the blue ball with the mouse, avoid the red balls for as long as you can." - Ragdollsoft

This game is brilliant! It's simple concept in which you obviously dodge other balls. Add a catchy track and what more you can ask for. The game well provide with hours of entertainment and misery as you try to get a top score. There is absolutely nothing I can say is wrong about this game, the physics are excellent and visually the graphics are awesome.

You can enjoy  this video of one of my successful attempts. Of course this score was actually crap compared to my other accomplished scores. My highest score was probably around 247.

Dodgeball Badge (easy 5-points)

Survive 50 seconds in Particles.

Alright, really if you can't accomplish this badge then you need a whole lot of practice. Not really much tips to give here other then try to stay away from the more concentrated area of balls. Also, some people find not focusing on the red ball make them score better. Other then that 50 seconds shouldn't be so difficult. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think all you have to do is get passed 6-7 balls. If you really have to you can use Cheat Engine to slow down the game but I do no think its necessary.

Ultimate Dodgeball Badge (hard 30-points)

Survive for 200 seconds in Particles.

I would say this is definitely one of the harder badges to achieve on Kongregate. Of course, with practice it should be obtained easily. Personally I found that after achieving the 200+ seconds, I was able to do it after every try. 

Anyways, the only tips I can give is based off of experience which your gonna need in order to get the badge. As mentioned before stay away from concentrated areas of balls and try not to focus on the red ball as much, keep your attention on the blue balls. Other tips that I have not mentioned yet are to stay away from the faster moving ball. As you get to 5-6 and onwards you'll notice that there are certain balls moving faster. Being able to avoid those will help you avoid the slower moving balls as well. Little tricks you can do is you can move your mouse off the screen and place it somewhere else and you well "teleport" to that location. The same effect can be shown when you right-click on the screen and then click elsewhere.

If you really have too then go ahead and enable speed hack to slow down the game. If your just plain "sucky" at the game then go ahead and search the amount of ball and use the *8 rule. After you find the value freeze it and you'll have 2 balls to deal with for the whole game. It's pretty simple after that and then you can go ahead and beat the top score (1016 seconds). Just kidding don't do that. Here's a demonstration of how to find the balls variable on Cheat Engine.


Now your probably saying to yourself "wow, that was easy!" But, I know deep inside that you did not feel any sense of accomplishment in achieving this at all. But don't worry at least you don't have to deal with this game ever again.

"What more can you as for in a game? It's simple, goal-oriented and is brilliantly executed. The in-game physics are phenomenal. With the addition of the music track definitely inspired me to continue playing and it certainly deserves my recommendation." -KongreGuide, 5/5

 
The Last Stand 03/18/2008
 

Welcome to my guide for The Last Stand. If you've seen my previous video on The Last Stand then you already know how to accomplish the badge in less then 5 minutes. Do I recommend you do this? Absolutely not.

" Survive the night fighting off zombies from your barricade." - ConArtists

This game description is exactly what it sounds. The goal is simple, survive until you are saved. After each wave you are able to search for survivors, weapons and repair your base. The game can be found here.

Sniper Badge (hard 30 - points)

Get 500 kills with headshots during a single game in The Last Stand.

Is this an easy to achieve? After very little practice it should be pretty simple. I will post a video from YouTube illustrating the just of how to aim you weapon. Obviously this varies which each individual weapon (i.e. shotgun and sniper).

The second video shows a demonstration on how to get the 500 headshots automatically via. using the trainer.


Pretty much - its a pretty easy concept - if you just aim your cursor a bit over the zombie's head and to the right you should get the headshots easily. Keep in mind that each weapon may be slightly different. As soon as you get the sniper the headshots should be a cinch.

If anyone wants me to post videos for other weapons just post your request in the forum.

Survivor Badge (medium - 15 points)

Survive the zombie onslaught long enough to be rescued without dying once in The Last Stand.

Well from a walkthrough perspective of this guide it's pretty much kill or be killed. Aiming for their heads not only adds to towards the count for headshots but it also does more damage. Also, you can only have a combination of 2 weapons. It's highly recommended that you use the sniper as it kills zombies in 1-hit if shot in the head and choose any other weapon you feel comfortable with.

Not quite sure, but I believe that the max number of survivors is 7 but searching for weapons is more essential and keeping your base fully repaired in the final level.

I haven't used and hack methods in order to beat this game so users looking for this are out of luck sorry!


I would describe the actual game difficulty at easy. I really don't know why people have any problems at all even with the hard badge. The above videos should help a bit.

More detailed instructions may be found in the forums.
