You have to finish level 7 with the clock and read what it says on the bottom carefully before exiting.

Good luck with level 8. That's all I can say.

Yes sir, and it's not on one of the artworks. Don't search too far to find it. =)

Well, that was a bit depressing, it had a nice feeling to it though. It would've worked just fine as a movie, but I'll take the 5 points.

Ugh, I wish I could retry it without doing level 7 over again. I've gotten two different outcomes from level 8, but no medal.

Is this square important for anything? Birds lead there, but I haven't figured out anything to do with it.

There is a third ending possible in level 8. And I agree with you, having to retry level 7 just to get to level 8 is annoying.

I have no idea what that square is. In other words, it's not important.

Thanks! I noticed that level 7 has "N. Westerly" in the name, and that square is located near the upper-left corner of the map, and there are birds that lead to it that don't appear to have any other purpose. So I figured NW = upper-left, there must be a path to it for a reason--but I suppose not :-)

I've about given up on level 8, I'm afraid, but I'll come back and try it later I guess.

There is third outcome. In 8, you have to grab the candle-person for air so you don't fade away... They're always on a fork on the path, but perhaps it would be wise to go the other way each time if you want to live. (hint, hint)

Oh you gotta be freakin'..! Gargh!!!!

I played that damn Villianous game for nearly 4 hours yesterday, got all the way to level 18 with all golds, and upgraded everything to the highest point. I go to check the game today? MY FILE WAS ERASED!!!! WTF!?! I saved, and made sure not to erase the file (like I did upon first playing. Son of a..! GRRR! I just needed the damn completion and secret medal (which I don't know what it is). Life mocks me.

Screw it. I'm not going back to it. Too much frustration, too much time. Ugh.

Find the secret spam and finish the story :P

Very nice game, well balanced and fairly challenging at times.

It has the polish, but the balance I feel could use some work. After getting gold on level 12 on the first attempt, I was like "wait, what stops me from doing the same exact thing every single level?" And lo, I used the same train for every level thereafter. I didn't farm very much either, since it took me five more runs on the last level (55-58 raids each) to finish all my skill upgrades.

I just stun bog towers wherever I find them. And holy towers are tolerable as long as they don't hit my mammoth turtle. Same thing with the atomic towers, although their problem is that they just plain hurt in general in subsequent waves.

Oh really? I thought this was finally a game that couldn't be destroyed by one great tactic like lots of other similar games (like Urban Wars, Warlords 2, Hacker vs Hacker). I usually find those pretty fast, but not this time. Guess it's because even after beating the game I still have no clue what the 'bog towers' and 'holy towers' are. Woops!

I'm not going to lie, it takes some startup investment. But after getting bronze medals and over half the golds in the available levels for bonus infamy, I just started wrecking everything.

You know the old saying, "Knowledge is power." Before you send out your first wave, you can mouse over the tower types and the game will tell you what it does and stuff. Level descriptions also usually tell you that a new tower type will appear in the level. For example in level 6, they mention that they invented the Bog Tower.

The sole purpose of the Cleanse Warlock is to counter the damage that Bog Towers and Holy Towers do, both of which are %-based (all other damage is a flat amount). I found the Warlock to be really useless, since without the Rainbow upgrade, he'll expire from Bog poisoning anyways. The same durability afforded by the Warlock for your mobs can be exceeded by having an Elemental instead, and those things also fuel your other spells. A Warlock dedicated to your Mammoth Turtle may prove more useful if there's two Holy Towers in a level.

I found many strategies, but only one that never failed me. I'm guessing yours was similar to this (with rainbow and circus): turtle, goblin, golem, priest, goblin, elemental, goblin x3, healer, turtle.

Pretty much anything that involves encompassing as many units as possible with healing and shield auras works well. Once I discovered this combo the game got a bit boring, because as long as I used a few spells here and there I got the gold medal easily.

Hm yeah that's pretty much how I beat most of the levels as well, but I didn't really feel like it was a perfect strategy, as I had to use a completely different strategy for the last few levels (for the golds, that is). I even earned quite a few gold medals by just using goblin x12. This is why I thought the game was well balanced, but Fooliolo proved me wrong there. I guess I pretty much butchered the game, but since it was pretty easy I still earned every medal without replaying most of the levels.

New games plz!
Oh, stop PM'ing me about the 'You're A Tool' secret medal. 7 is more than enough! :P
