Level 30? O.o I thought Yithian Scholar was a bit anticlimactic. But at level 20, it told me I won, and ended the game..... These last several days have been mighty odd.

I think things are still being changed.. but it does mean you have to do it again

But there are still over 6000 games on Kongregate that I've never even tried yet!

Dammit, now just thinking about it, I can't get the *pock* *pock* *pock* sounds of Squirts out of my head.

You can beat the 'regular' game without juggling. The '10K Fun' mode, however, is essentially impossible to beat without juggling; death is otherwise certain ca. level 88, essentially. By that time, bosses have several hundred thousand HP, and you run into a heavy flyer wave at the same time high-hp spawns are distracting your squirt towers.

Did they finally fix it to be potentially defeatable?

The last time I played it, Squirts alone were insufficient for the fliers by wave 17 I think it was.

88 was at that time, never breached by anyone who didn't juggle. Even then, they had to use like 2 Squirts (or some favored a Dart too, I think), and then they had to sink ALL their remaining cash into AA (can't remember what those are called).

If it's finally been fully balanced, then I might hit it up again, I love building mazes.

I never got past 68.

I seem to recall hearing that the Fun mode had been beaten, but only by juggling. You did need to go heavy on boosted storm towers to kill the fliers.

I've seen it. It's okay. I don't think I've seen "The NeverEnding Story" in full length, only clips from it, but you could probably compare it with that. Or "Legend".

BTW, I tried the card game, too, but while it's very nicely done, it gets boring quick. Like KO wrote, one does wonder if it wasn't too much of a waste of time afterwards. I've usually been two levels ahead of the AI after level 10, sometimes even three levels, but while this does make a difference at first it doesn't seem to make any difference at all once you reach the 100 life cap. The sanity for you and your enemy is determined randomly each game, there were times when my opponent had better values than me despite me being three levels ahead of him. I did finish with level 30 as "Great Cthulhu", too.

Yep, fun but gets boring. It would be nice if it were a multiplayer (especially team play, since each player can only summon 1 monster at a time)-nicer still if the concept were combined with a boardgame, somehow.

And while it does have some atmosphere, it's definitely not of 'Lovecraftian' levels. It's not quite of 'agic: The Gathering' levels, for that matter.

Still, although I agree it's a somewhat 'cheap' game, it's better than a vast majority...It's a worthy effort for an Independent, though, and the 'Call of Cthulhu' people at Chaosium would be smart to pick it up and run with it.
