Quick note: Since Swords & Potions 2 shut down, The Peacekeeper replaced it in the Best of 2013 quest. This game is still great even by 2018 standards (in my opinion, anyway), so I hope you all enjoy keeping the peace!
I'm looking back at some older games for badges since it's been a bit slow lately, but next month (May) we'll see badges in all the top games from April. Credit to TurkeyPie for his dedicated lobbying for a badge in this game.
Hi everyone, just as a heads-up, I replaced "Transmission" with this game in the Best of 2014 quest, since Transmission was still using the old Unity web player, and most players were having a hard time getting it to work. SAS: Zombie Assault 4 is otherwise the highest-rated game (by a pretty big margin!) from 2014 not currently in the quest, so it was the clear substitute. Enjoy!
Apologies to those who are experiencing technical difficulties with this game. I personally experienced the issue with invisible note circles during the intro tutorial and an invisible character during the platforming part after the intro on my laptop at home (after the badges were launched, of course...). I was able to fix this issue by going to the Advanced settings in Chrome and turning on "Use hardware acceleration when available" under "System." I hope this helps anyone struggling with that particular issue.
Hi everyone, the badges should be fixed now -- sorry about that! (Especially since it wasn't fixed in time for BotD...) I think we're going to leave this game blacklisted from the Badge of the Day rotation, but anyone collecting these badges normally shouldn't have any problems anymore. Please send me a private message if this isn't the case!
Hi everyone, all the achievements were broken in this game for a while, but they should be fixed now. Please send me a private message if you're still having any trouble getting them to award automatically, and I'll dig into it again. Cheers!
Apologies to everyone who couldn't get this game to load past the "play" screen, but that issue should now be resolved. Please send me a private message if you're still having any trouble with it. Cheers!
To anyone checking this page -- the achievement associated with this game has been retired because the game no longer works. This game page will also be removed from the site as well very soon. Apologies for the inconvenience, but the developer simply couldn't get this game working again.
Quick note: "Completing Project L.A.P.I.N." was just removed as one of the possible options for earning the first medium badge because this is actually impossible to do unless you've already repaired L-D 3.4 first (thanks to CalebS16 for pointing this out).
I went back and forth a lot on whether this should be an easy badge or a medium badge... It practically came down to a coin flip. But there are just a couple of parts that tipped the scales in favor of it being a medium (the clothes pins and the double mist vapor riding, mostly). But for those who say this game is easy and it should've been an easy badge, I'm in about 49% agreement. Enjoy the extra 10 points, I guess!
I found this on Twitter today and for some reason I felt compelled to share it here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FScuffdere%2Fstatus%2F957612335098728448
Okay, so I played this game A LOT for badges -- way more than I usually play games before badging them, to be honest (I actually got the hard badge!). This was my final setup if anyone is curious (lots of testing/fine tuning went into this, and I'm pretty happy with it): 3x move speed, 4x reload speed, 2x vision, 1x protection, 3x damage, 3x fire rate, 1x penetration, 1x knockback, 1x ammo capacity, 1x projectiles.
For those paying a lot of attention, this was originally January 28th's badge of the day, but we had other plans, which will be revealed shortly -- keep an eye out!
A quick note about the medium badge -- if you already beat the end boss before this badge was added, the badge won't be awarded retroactively on game load. However, it WILL be awarded as soon as you fail (you don't need to actually play through and defeat the boss again).
I know, I know, I really should have badged this before Halloween. But better late than never, I guess! Midnight Spooks 2 will most likely get a completion badge next week as well.
coming soon...
