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.
Recommendations
"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
