does this game really have to be copy and paste every year? because this way you won't attract new players and this game is becoming dead. #deadgame

Are you kidding? They spent a huuuge amount of hard hearned cash in making those assets, those reskins and that code for the Mini-Game! They need to recycle it AT LEAST for 10 consecutives Halloween/Christmas/Easter/Summer(?) events!

The developers are already very generous to allow people to get so many containers

Also consider the fact that any random purchase of gingerbread could be the difference between you getting rewards and not getting it.

That's like saying "the difference between being a zillionaire and not being one is the price of a lottery ticket," really congo.

Though I have to admit that buying the winning lottery ticket has greater odds in the positive than getting anywhere with the childish "gingerbread"

Seriously let's all get on the same page here. This concept/game is designed 100% to swindle you out of currency, in-game or cash, this is hazels prime reason for existing.

Just gonna add this here, a pic from Headway, a goldhunting player.

He grinded so many golds, got a fair set of gingerbread golds too. Made it a fair bit far with a lot of effort. He did not spend on any bundles etc.

Commendable effort for getting to where he has. Naturally this would not be doable for any f2p's that hardly play or play the minimum.

 

As for prices, they are what they are, a bit high but those who want to spend, will spend.

I personally am guaranteed to reach checkpoint 3 now within 8 moves and that is where I will stop, Glad that I will not need to spend anything at all for this. Pretty much some small set of freebies, can't complain tbh.

 

The main thing about this event is that you can see which spots can knock you back showing you a better indicator than the Halloween one which I did not like at all and got very unlucky with. Did not make it to checkpoint 3 there.

On point Akame!

 

As a F2P person you can still easily get around 20 of each container and around 300 of each supply in addition to Gauss Ultra and Burning Gauss. I like how it tells you where you might be knocked back since I was lucky enough to not get knocked back on the quest for the third island. I am currently on step 28 one step from the final knockback before I reach island 3. I love how you can have a chance to skip the knockback. huge props to the devs for this update since last time I was knocked back so many times I couldn't reach island 3. This time I could have a chance at it. Thanks and please stop complaining it is a good event!

here a clear difference of 7 steps with 1 meteorite still ahead 

 

[xXx_ALPHA-BEAST_xXx 291]

personally i don't want to say any bad things but this game always ready to disappoint me 

e.g.

https://ibb.co/99LMPHn

how many steps i required to complete 2nd task.

 

 

[DMR 675]

I'll still say it but the conversion rate is awful, busting 3 moves costs 900k crystals, which is anormal, althought it might seem ''better'' than the mini game in Halloween, this is pure scam. Also, getting sended back should be removed, I can reach maximum 3 island out of 7, but imagine if you miss 3 days and it's your last move in island 2 to reach island 3 and you get sended back (-5) and it's the last day...

I used to do these minigames on alt as well, but never with this great luck. The best result I got was completing the wasp/fire demonic minigame (with about 800 candy if I remember correctly, 600 of which was caught in battles), but since then the events were always setup in a way that it wasn't possible again.

This minigame I wanted to try it on main account and spent a lot of time catching gingers in the new year's DM event mode. The one positive thing about legend rank is that I can also complete all daily and special missions for ginger, while on alt I'd not be able to.
However after rolling my steps when the first event ended I already had an unlucky start:

That's nothing tho.
I'll let you do the math on how unlucky this was (screenshot from today, after more daily missions and some ginger gold boxes):

So that's the minigame for me, catching 80 is not realistic at legend rank.

I could buy 60 for 1.8m and grind the rest, but for what? 2 status effect augments? Or the 21 epic keys? It's not just the 1.8m, it's also the hours of ginger grinding, and all missions.
And this isn't even the first time this happened, it's my usual luck. The minigame last year ended the same way:

Spoiler

37 steps and only on 26th place. (also a similar result on second account where I goldhunted gingers, with 46 steps I reached 37th place.)

I know in later checkpoints you get pulled back more often, but I just think this is worse than what you are supposed to see on average.

Every minigame I'm more and more disappointed, the price is and always was ridiculously expensive, so that even boosting yourself the few steps to next checkpoint is not worth at all. Maybe this monetization works on the rich people, but I'm certainly not rich.

Well, as usual, let's see what happens in the next minigame, I still hope that it might get better. The first halloween minigame was too good and probably shouldn't happen again, but I also don't see why it shouldn't be possible for few lucky people to complete the entire minigame if they grinded for ridiculous amount of time.
It's still great for new players to unlock extra protection slots for free, and gives you few extra supplies and containers if you only complete the missions and don't care about anything else.

The website doesn't work...

Website is still offline, hopefully they postpone the end of this event along with a token of apology. I'm glad I checked before I dropped 3.6 mill down

The Halloween one is the worst of the lot iirc, since you can't see the pushback steps, hopefully the space one wont be that harsh. The good thing is, that at least 1 lap is done and the entry is free. Most people manage to get to 3rd checkpoint, a few rare got to 4th from the general move set. But yeah, still partly luck orientated.

[wild001 1,422]

spent 900k to get 3rd land on time 

Burn gauss is so so, long reload for gauss anyway,

Remember old days 2sec reload with gauss emp,

[xXx_ALPHA-BEAST_xXx 291]

 

this game is biased  towards youtuber account they don't get 1 time -5 in 3rd round.

and here took 42 steps to run 34 steps in checkpoint fortunately each time i get -5( thank you )

developer's  why your coding of this game is so dull.

Regarding Technical Issues of The Mini-Game and situation which happened about it, may I know what was the point of "compensating" it with making that Mini-Game available for one more day? Players couldn't get Gingerbreads both from Daily Missions and from Shop and couldn't make any progress on going to another checkpoint or trying to get to it. Just taking a look at the mini-game is not a compensation. Why there wasn't given to players a Token of Apology for that, which would contain for example as much Gingerbreads as from the all Daily Missions (those 9, NOT counting encore ones), 9 stars and 3-5 Common Keys?! I guess that would be a good indemnity for players and for sure many of them would be grateful and happy about it. I hope next time and when such problems will appear such compensation will be given to players.

I am not talking on behalf of developers, but personally believe the point is as follows.
The minigame website has been closed a few hours prior to the announced time, meaning some players might have been unable to finish their final moves during that time. The website was reopened today to ammend for that.

There was NO game downtime, NO lost gingerbreads, missions, or other rewards. Therefore I dont see a need for a compensation in form of Gingerbreads, keys or stars.

Well, yesterday one (such as myself) could buy gingerbreads in the shop in order to finish their final moves.
Since the mini-game was not available, there was no point in doing that.
Now you have restored the mini-game, but there is no way to purchase gingerbread, so the mini-game is useless.
Please consider prologing the mini-game AND restoring the gingerbread packages in the shop, otherwise you are dissappointing your players.

Hmm, that honestly is a fair point. I did not think of that.
Unfortunately, as a Forum Moderator, I cannot do much about the situation myself, but I will forward your complaint.

Wait, how do you guys get sent back so low number of times? During Halloween and this Christmas minigame I got sent back on every meteor island. I know we were not able to see them during the Halloween event, but I'm guessing it was about the same times as the Christmas one, because I didn't even reach checkpoint 3 in both instances..
