Cube Escape: Birthday

What a load of rubbish. Room-escape games only work if there's an underlying logic, and catching a fish with a mousetrap in a dry house certainly doesn't qualify.

It IS POSSIBLE to play this under Linux, contrary to the Instructions; there's a project called Pipelight that lets you use the Windows version of the Unity Web Player inside a Linux browser.

Heroes of the Realm

New players actually wanting to play the game (rather than to get badges :s) - don't automatically accept quest rewards - a lot of the "guide" quests reward energy which you would lose by exceeding the cap of 61, and which you'll want to redeem later on. Likewise resources that come as milestone-quest rewards but might overflow your warehouse. Also note that larger batches of resources are actually *less* efficient in both gold and time, the only advantage being that you don't have to pay attention to them.

Well, there are clearly six people this week who hacked their way onto the high-score boards, given that they have somehow managed to reach levels above the max.

As far as I can see, the way to the best score is to run play a number of levels twice - once optimising commands, and once optimising calls. Both appear to contribute to one's score, but the game saves the *best* for each.

There's an interesting spike in difficulty for the last five or so levels... (but that's not actually a bad thing)

For anyone trying to get all the stars: Getting 3* on either Frenetic or Hard will award all the stars for Normal as well. Note that 3* on Hard does *not* award the stars for Frenetic.

It's entirely possible to get all the in-game achievements without using a single spell, which is interesting - consider adjustment.

Hang on. Researching Nuclear Fusion unlocks... Fission bombs?

$236,000 on hard. Not too bad, then, though certainly I could have done better. I could have not had two crashes, for a start!

I must have refreshed the page before playing the last level, 'cos I'm sure the game didn't have badges when I first loaded it.

LoloCoolMan: Assuming you're referring to the Rainbow upgrade, I read "covers one additional summon" as meaning the radius of the various auras is increased by one unit's-worth. It is, however, possible that it is simply restating that the aura affects the casting unit - after all, that /is/ one additional unit. Either way, I don't think it's anything to do with the number of units you can summon.

Cosmic Crush

Couple of things: This /does/ have a learning curve, but since it only has three levels (plus survival) it's going to be pretty steep. Levels 2 and 3 are /not/ impossible. That said, there are a massive number of possible improvements to this.

An immediate good start with the use of "Mr Blue Sky" at the beginning... and the comments suggest a good musical choice at the end too.

Is that priestess Black Mage out of 8BT in disguise?

For a mildly challenging deck that can still beat all the challenges, go mostly blue, with Hive Mind and Fraily as the only non-creature cards of that colour, and include Markov's Library, Enforced Silence and Global Enlightenment to taste. Creatures are of your choice, but must all be blue. Personally, I excluded only Pincer Bots.

[insert obligatory complaint about controls that only make sense on QWERTY here] (Admittedly in this case it's not something enormously important, but (just by way of example) on my keyboard (which is UK Dvorak (Because I'm in the UK (and use Dvorak))) Q and W are separated by five keys and are both on the bottom row. If, by the way, I'm a massive idiot and the controls turn out to be remappable (the two conditions being independent (of each other)) I shall withdraw this comment. I'm not a Common Lisp programmer, honest...

I can only assume that this was computer-translated into English from some other language. I can get the gist of what's meant, but would advise getting a native-speaking proofreader next time! Otherwise, though, pretty good!

AyeAyemaster21: The classical element was Air long before it was Wind. Just because modern-day North America knows it best as Wind doesn't mean Air is wrong.

There's a nice little pattern to the llama fights. All it takes is to work it out, and you can make a mint. Sorry, though, I'm not telling what it is. It's pretty simple...
