Kongregate Frickin Rocks

By Jeremy Schoemaker 47 comments

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Great another reason to piss off my wife. Love it!

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

Same here. As If I were productive to begin with :).

Shoe, your “contact me” doesn’t work as expected. At least for me.
Anyway try this game: Flow

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.

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.

I won’t even buy an xbox or PS3. I’ll play it too much and never get anything done!

*angst* dtd cost me a bunch of hours

website copywriter said on July 13th, 2007 at 5:53 am

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

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

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

Travel Notebook said on July 13th, 2007 at 12:34 pm

OMG this game is awesome.

Sam said on July 13th, 2007 at 1:32 pm

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)

Jim Greer said on July 13th, 2007 at 2:20 pm

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words!

[Reply]
Jim Greer said on July 13th, 2007 at 2:22 pm

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.

Travel Notebook said on July 13th, 2007 at 2:24 pm

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.

[Reply]
Jim Greer said on July 13th, 2007 at 3:54 pm

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.

Travel Notebook said on July 14th, 2007 at 11:39 am

Im still playing this lol. Wish it didnt have a pause button so i would just lose and go back to work

DTD caused me insomnia, because i was playing it all day&night long.

Tower defense is great.

Daniel Scocco said on July 15th, 2007 at 5:59 am

I prefer the original one as well.

Freebies said on July 18th, 2007 at 10:53 am

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.

[Reply]
Freebies said on July 18th, 2007 at 10:54 am

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

[...] a couple weeks ago I came across Desktop Defense thanks to Shoemoney. It took me quite a while with several frustrations but I finally broke 7000 tonight with a score [...]
