Kongregate Frickin Rocks

Posted July 12th, 2007 by Jeremy Schoemaker

So we had a desktop tower defense contest before and I think I will switch all future contests to Kongregate. Get signed up now and reserve your name.

Right now I am developing a addiction to onslaught

    No way! DTD is way better than onslaught, but to each his own I guess.

    Man, onslaught 2 is easy as heck for the first 90 levels and then suddenly the last 10 are hard. I get to 99 every time and then die.

    Yeah, this game has a very steep ramp at around wave 100, which is annoying. There’s some strategy discussion in the comments on the Kong game page – I’m no expert myself.

    I cant seem to get a good strategy going. For the first 10 mins or so Im great and hitting the “next wave” button constantly but then they get too strong for me and I cant kill them.

    Sam – It doesn’t really amount to much yet. Once we’re at 2M-3M monthly uniques, we’ll start to be able to do direct deals with advertisers and it will be much more significant. We’ll also be selling custom sponsorship deals which developers get their cut of as well.

    Hey guys, thanks for the kind words!

    Has anyone posted games there or knows if their revenue sharing amounts to much for the developer? (I think it’s 25%-50% on ads from your game)

    OMG this game is awesome.

    Kongregate who appear to be breaking the AdSense TOS a little there…

    Please stop posting games. Every time you do I waste tons of time trying to get a decent score.

    Hard workers such as ourselves need to unwind sometimes. This is definitely good therapy.

    Hey Shoe, added you as a friend (roadies). Played onslaught once and realized it was far more addictive than DTD. So I got my achievement and card and don’t dare go back.

    Shoe, your “contact me” doesn’t work as expected. At least for me.
    Anyway try the game Flow (I speak about it on my blog.click on my name).

    It’s difficult to do a contest on it, maybe you could do a beauty contest for this one.

    I think it’s waay more addictive than any other flash game I’ve seen.

    Kongregate is great–I’ll definitely have to check out onslaught. Ali, it’s not good to piss off your wife–haven’t you learned that yet? LOL

    It is good, but I still like the original. They are both good in their own ways in my opinion.

    Addiction is relative. Although I think this could just be a tad bit more addictive than DTD.

    I get the feeling you might own a piece of this venture :) No worries, I’m playing!

    I just did a post recently on how Kongregate deserves to be on the comScore top 10 Worldwide Gaming Properties. If they keep growing like this… they’ll be taking over the top slots in no time! Have you earned many cards for the upcoming CCG yet?

    I love me some blockhead! They’ve also got a game where you’re a ninja that’s pretty good too. Can’t remember what that one’s called though.

    http://onslaught.playr.co.uk/about.html has a list of all the cool combos you can make with the towers. Without it you’re pretty much screwed.

    Rocket BFG imo.
