Seedling Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Game Review
Seedling. The wind itself breathes life into a small boy who is destined to be special. Appearing in front of a house and knowing that this house holds his answers. What follows is an adventure to seek for self-discovery as you soon discover you were created with purpose.

Seedling is a 2D action-adventure game that will trigger some serious nostalgia if you remember playing the original Legend of Zelda. It is a role-playing game (RPG), as you will start off exploring an unfamiliar world and quickly gain access to a sword and shield, as well as various other treasures and keys. With what you need, you will quickly venture into various caves and dungeons, slaying huge bosses. The developer has done a great job in fabricating a wonderful and surprisingly deep story. This game is deeper than I thought. The pixel artwork and music were perfect. I noticed that there were actually fifteen different tracks for this game, which is must to highlight, especially considering that most Flash games only stick to one or two.

If you've been a gamer since the classic NES or even just an original Gameboy era, the gameplay for you will be a phenomenal one. You will know how it feels like, playing those old school NES games. Simple game mechanics as you will expect from an older game. For the most part, the game wasn’t too difficult but challenging enough to complete the entire quest. The enemies were easy to kill and most of them could only take two to three hits. Most of the bosses were fun to fight and continued to be challenging even after figuring out how to beat them. Perhaps the hardest part is finding your way around. It can be quite frustrating at the same time curious, as it takes a while to find the next dungeon.

I have finished the game in 3 hours and had lots fun, although I was quite worried that I would not get all 16 pieces. Luckily, I found the last one with little trouble. Seedling is worth checking out. Classic Zelda-esque style, loved it. One more thing, I really appreciate the fact that your health regenerates when you transition screens. :)

Boss Walkthrough For Seedling
Boss 1: Shieldspire
Stand in front of him but don't attack. After a couple of seconds, he'll move his shield to the side, and you can safely hit him. Repeat a few times to kill him.

Boss 2: The Times
The boss grabs a new weapon each time you deal a certain amount of damage to him. Your health regenerates at this point, so you can generally just spam the attack button without needing to
dodge his own attacks.

Boss 3: Totem
This boss is quite frustrating to fight, because of the constant camera shifts and his earthquake ability, which leaves you facing the other direction. Equip the wand and shoot when you get the opportunity. Stay out of the beams of light, and avoid the shots he fires on the left and right immediately after the beam, then hide in the bottom right corner and shoot at him as he gets closer. Repeat a few times to defeat him.

Boss 4: Tentacle Beast
A nice simple boss. Just simply cut off its legs as they appear. Once every leg has been chopped up, the boss is defeated.

Boss 5: The Lights
Activate the pillar, and a bunch of monsters will swarm around you. These are easy to beat—stay by the pillar, and attack outwards as they fly by you. When there's only a few remaining, they'll move in a bit nearer you. A couple of steps and some quick attacks should see you safe though.

Boss 6: King of Fire
Stand directly in front of the King of Fire, just a step or two back in the lava.
Equip the sword as the radius is useful here.mKill the two bats he throws, then deflects a fireball back at him. While he's flickering, run forward and attack him directly. Repeat a few times to win.

Boss 7: The Owl
You can only hit the owl when its moving around. It leaves its hiding place and moves in an anti clockwise direction, after the rocks stop falling. Stay one step ahead so you can attack as it comes out. Attack the owl at the direction of the lava and it only takes a few hits to kill it.

Soldier Diary Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Soldier Diary
Soldier Diary Flash Game Logo

Play Online: Soldier Diary
Developer: BeGamer & FastGames
Genre: Puzzle

Game Review
Soldier Diary is actually a point and click linear adventure puzzle game. I find them to be very straightforward but yet quite entertaining on the first try, because this type of games doesn't offer much replaying value. The plot is overall is very one direction and once you solve it, it is only so much you can do to really stand out.

However in actuality it wasn't as bad as I think it will be. So, you are a foot soldier in the heroic green army, currently detained in prison by the evil red army. In this game you actually have to take out enemies in various ways as you progress. Keep your head down, and your thinking cap on! Use your logic to click around the area, so you can alert your allies to send help, and get you out from behind enemy lines. It is very simple and quick game.

Not too challenging but it is fun watching the lil' green guy take out an entire base of the enemy. At any point of time if you are stuck, refer to our walkthrough guide below. This guy is a one man army, he should be promoted. Every time he shoots he drops the gun because he likes Fairplay, and he is too good for his foes.

Kamikaze Pigs Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Kamikaze Pigs
Kamikaze Pigs Game Logo

Play Online: Kamikaze Pigs
Developer: Monstro Games
Genre: Action, Upgrades

Game Review
Pigs at War, what is it good for? Bacon strips! Kamikaze Pigs is an addicting and challenging chain reaction style puzzle game. Basically the idea is there is a huge pig army comprised of helicopters, planes, foot soldiers, rocket launchers, tanks, etc. You start the action by clicking your mouse to cause an explosion that roasts a few pigs. Once, any pig unit hit will shoot their sort of weapon which can hit other pig units causing them to shoot off their weapons, hence a chain reaction. During the chain reaction, the charge meter will continue to refill. When it's full, roast’em again! Remember, every pig gives you cash. Only when you reach the red flag in the kill progress meter then the level is cleared.

What makes Kamikaze Pigs even more unique is the extensive upgrade system which is based on the stars collected to unlock higher upgrade tiers. There are some star are earned by based on how many pigs are destroyed. While another type of stars are earned by colliding into them on the screen. Achievements don’t just sit around either; they offer additional stars towards future upgrades. Kamikaze Pigs features 40 levels of gameplay and doing so unlock hidden levels including bonus Big-Boss.

This is without a doubt the most delicious quirky twist into the chain reaction genre. And one more thing, I've never played a game where the bosses were structures that just sat there. :)

Kamikaze Pigs Guide
Earning Gold in Kamikaze Pigs
The reason it seems so hard to get money is because each replay earns you less money. You only get more money when your score for a level is above what your best record for a level is. Therefore, the money upgrades should always take priority. Once you have gotten a higher level money upgrade, go back and try for the best combo for each stage. With the +150% money upgrade, and going through all the stages with the highest combo. The hidden levels are the best ones to replay; some of them give you $40,000 on the first try. Doing this strategy I maxed out my upgrades and got 6 stars on all maps.

Upgrades Build in Kamikaze Pigs
Pro-Tip: If you can't afford the last upgrade, you can consider selling away the most useless upgrade. So in the case of Kamikaze Pigs, the most useless upgrade will be the +% money upgrade. I won the game without the last 150% money upgrade. As long as you have most of the weapon upgrades, the money upgrade isn't needed to clear the hidden boss.

Trollface Quest Game Review & Walkthrough Guide

Developer: PiterGames
Genre: Puzzle

Game Review
DO YOU LIKE GAAMES?? I WANT TO PLAY A GAME WITH YOUUU.

After playing this online flash game, all I have to say is "WTF IS THIS!". This is clearly not appropriate for normal individual like me. It is much like an idiot test, making people think right out of the box and fooling us. I got trolled so many times; Here's one example, I really don't know if the game is taking a long time to load, or I'm just being trolled. I am so embarrassed to admit it but this is definitely quite refreshingly stupid. It is going to be something out of my school years. It had me laughing hard every time I solved a puzzle. It is just too random for me. Alright, talking about Trollface Quest is the latest game based on the beloved Internet meme. Trollface Quest is a ridiculous puzzle solving game where, you are going to solve 20 seemingly simple puzzles. The whole idea is to do it correctly and don’t get caught by Trolls.

To be honest, none of the puzzle is obvious except first level but still made it to the end. I love how my option post-last level was "Restart" and "Play Again" towards the end. I mean what if I don't want to play this game again? Mustn't... Feed... The... TROLLS! *ASCII comics style* They are dangerous and has a skinny dick. Be careful. :)
