And then if you do manage to somehow get past the worst first stage in gaming history, don't expect to be able to use the password for level 2. Because that would be too easy to make your passwords work in a game...

If I remember right, that game was already posted on this bored, but the crappy gameplay made it unplayable.

Bad answer is bad.

Here's the deal: the enemy commander has better stuff than you do, but the battlefield itself is even. Assuming all other things are equal, you will lose. But what you do have over the AI is your strategies.

So essentially, you'll need good strategy, and good micro skills where it really counts. Which is 80% of the time I would imagine. You'll need to be consistent on your attack against the enemy carrier since carriers have a lot of regenerating shell.

Anyone else have problems destroying 55 cars in a single level for Roadkill Revenge? My best is 53 >.<

Also, thank jebus the author changed the $ requirement for challenge 1 in lvl 17. 225k was nearly undoable.

Still unable to get either of them on level 17. Any tips for that, level 18 (blowing up two cars and the hummer) and for level 33 (cause 45K damage with planes) would be helpful :)

For level 17, don't aim straight on, try going a tiny bit to the side and aiming for the 3rd train. It takes a bit of luck, but usually that derails the 3rd train (it might hit one of the stations), into the 4th train that hits another station. That's pretty much a luck based level though.

For level 18, aim straight on at the hummer. Again, this one is luck and patience based, but sometimes it'll spin out and hit another car.

For level 33, aim at one of the firetrucks (the left side one seems to work better), and let your plane fly into the first plane as it passes. More than likely that'll shoot it into the path of the second plane and it'll blow up, giving you the 45k.

Another thing, a hint for level 27 (the blow up 3 emergency vehicles/blow up hospital/cause 50k in damage), you can click the missle truck and make it explode. I had the damnest time with that level until finally figuring that out.

Funny thing is that they tell you about this in an earlier level, where your vehicle is blocked off from traffic.

I guess there's nothing to do but keep trying for the 55 cars in one level medal. I've gotten anywhere between less than 40 cars and 350k in damages, and over 40 cars but only 260k in damages in any attempt.

Level 27 solution:

Place it right in the middle of the screen.
Wait for everything to stop.
Aim at the top left corner of the hospital.
As soon as you ram the cop car into the hospital (causing damage) detonate your vehicle.

I've got it working 4/5 times. Just a matter of where you place it I guess.

Level 33 has to be impossible. You need to destroy both planes and both fire trucks, as one isn't enough.

What are you talking about? Vehicles will still spawn as long as their spawn points aren't obstructed and too much time hasn't passed. Otherwise, a lot of the challenges would be impossible.

Three F-16s is enough to meet challenge 2 (2 is the level goal). Just let the bottom F-16 sideswipe your own F-16 in the rear, and your corpse should park itself in the top lane while destroying the top F-16. With any luck, another F-16 will spawn and blow up. Destroying a firetruck is difficult unfortunately, but it's definitely possible to do it using the method I described.

FYI, I have the 100-point medal for that game. Some of the challenges are really difficult, but they're not impossible.

Aw c'mon, I don't bother to read instructions when it comes to these things. :)

Finally found the dance routine of victory for Night of Million Zombies. In hind sight, I can't believe it took me that long to figure it out (10 games, played a few since the third time it was submitted).

Like people have said earlier, you'll want to cap your speed at 8.0 by distributing 6-8 skill points in it or something, not exactly sure. All is not lost if you cap at 7.9, but it will be harder. It is your choice if you want to spend a good majority of an hour getting all the hard medals with a handicap. Also, you'll want to pump the rest of your points in health.

I'll be assuming you're using the shotgun. Strategies may differ slightly if you're a SMG fan. You won't have to care too much for the first five waves or so. Chances are you aren't seriously threatened until the seemingly-endless waves at 1000+ zombies. But beyond that, you'll need to employ a certain routine that lets you juke the zombies with the best possible chances.

First and foremost, you'll need to understand that the game caps the amount of zombies that can exist at one time. This means that more zombies will spawn only if you kill the existing ones. It is of paramount importance that you control the flow of zombies coming from all directions by limiting your destruction of them. With that in mind, the routine is generally this: run around in a circle at one of the corners. It doesn't matter which corner as long as you run the correct direction (more on this later). As anyone that has played a few long games can tell you, zombies only spawn from the top and the bottom of the screen. The idea is that as you're about to move away from the top/bottom, you'll shoot the mob of zombies following you, which in turn will spawn more zombies. Zombies from the side of the screen you're running away from you can most likely avoid by outrunning, while the zombies from the other side of the screen you can gun down if you need to.

It matters which direction you run this circle. I'll take the NE corner as my example. If I'm running counterclockwise, and I shoot the zombies at the 11:00 position, I can avoid the spawns in the NE corner, and could probably avoid the spawns in the SE corner, but I'll most likely have to maintain extra effort to avoid the zombies that spawn in the west side of the screen. On the other hand, if I'm running clockwise, and I shoot the zombies at the 1:00 position, I can avoid the NE spawns, most likely avoid the NW and SW, and only have to worry about the SE corner.

You'll obviously need to make many variations in this routine. Sometimes you'll need to make a figure eight. Sometimes you'll have to hug a wall. Sometimes (I hope you do this) you point your gun forwards and mow down the zombies directly in front of you so you can clear your escape from the hoard. Practice it until you get perfect, then hope the RNG doesn't screw you over.

As testament, I got the bronze total shotgun kills and the gold single game shotgun kills medal at the same time. Here's what to expect when you're going for the "big game of awesomeness":
--A break/wave between 2k-2.5k kills. Get all your health back!
--200k gold before the 3k kills mark. (unless you're don't care to pick up money; you have time if you're going for everything anyways)
--Another break/wave just before 4k kills.
--100 icon pickups (this is just me; your luck could be better or worse)
--10 million points (assuming you use the shotgun)
--5k kills
--1500 flamethrower kills (again, could just amount to a lot of luck; I think I got unlucky)

I could probably have gotten much further than 11 million points, but I don't particularly dig grinding away my afternoon on a mid-quality zombie game. So I'll just leave it at that and get the rest of my 5-point medals later.

And by review too apparently. I don't think he's exactly obligated to do so unfortunately, and given his response to you, I he's more concerned about making it look pretty rather than giving them "proper" value.

From what I've seen of the medal system so far, you can have a 100 point task (in terms of difficulty/effort/time spent) be worth 5 points, but you can't have a 5 point task be worth 100 points. There's a whole lot of BS out there that fits in the former situation, but I've only seen one that obviously belongs in the latter case.

Ugolegend94 says that the code found in the secret ending of Why This? will play a role in his next game. The game that follows Why This? is The Power Keg V2. Does anyone know if the code is used in the latter?

Indeed they are very easy, but just a tad too time consuming for 5 pts apiece.

I haven't played the game, I'm speaking from a purely moral position. I pointed out that he should be more concerned with the medals being fair than with the layout looking pretty, and he returned with the 500pt limit, and I responded with the fact that he can send messages to appropriate people to get that limit removed. And that's where we are right now.
