Toxers

For some odd reason, while searching through the park, I cannot end the day.

Anyone else having this problem?

I had the same problem. Then I tried refreshing, but the game won't even load now.

@Upaut

Yes - I'm also having difficulty with bugs (code issues - not squishy insects) making this game not very fun to play. The day not ending bug is the worst I've found.

I found turning off my ad-blocking proxy and AdBlock/NoScript did not fix the issue, but loading the game in IE 8 did.

YMMV,

Hello... There's no need to write a signature when we can all see your username.

Is there any downside to taking more total days to explore an area?

I think the game is actually pretty cute.
I'm having fun.

5/5

@Upaut

Yes,

Unfortunately the game is quite (ahem) buggy in places, that's the worst one that I've found. I had to start a new game and didn't have any troubles with it.

Another annoying one is getting stuck with a single character continually occupying a square

Huge problem here. The Alien Gun, the only non-premium (i.e., that which can be purchased with in-game funds as opposed to those weapons that can only be purchased with MochiCoins) weapon that deals enough damage to defeat Bugzilla, the final boss, misses too frequently (advertised as hitting 70% of the time, i.e., a 30% miss rate) to actually defeat the boss. A game that cannot be won isn't much of a game at all.

another bug here: the very first fight i encountered i used rage and my character kept hitting the bug. the game started to award me a bunch of medals (20 bugs killed, 50 bugs killed, 100 bugs killed) and now the battle won't end because it thinks im killing infinite bugs.

shame too because the game looked fun

Yeah, was having fun until I couldn't end the day. Used the Red Bull thing in an attempt to get around it, still didn't work. Game breaker. Surprising it wasn't picked up by the developer, considering how many people have found it.

Its not unbeatable, but you do need some luck with the hit percentage. Here's what I used to beat him:

I wouldn't mind some hints for the bonus medals though. I've found most of them (including the one that unlocks the last ally), but a couple still evade me.

Anyone who has had the bug with an area not finishing, if this you can't press the "END DAY" button ? The big red button top left ?

Did you get to the end of a day with only half an hour left ?

We've played through the game at least 50 times and I've never come across the issue.

i've experienced the day not ending bug three times and had to reload the game each time.

pressing 'end day' button has no effect. the time of day is equal to the end of day time, not 30 minutes before.

annoying.

The only effect my End Day button has is giving me 100 dollrs because I have the City Chief equipped during the Park. But other than that, the day never ends, so the money doesn't matter at that point. lol

Sally, do the buttons have a rollover effect when this had happened and a hand cursor ?

I'd love to give the game a 5, but the bugs are pretty staggering. The never ending day bug in the park for instance makes it impossible to beat the game.

Here are the secret medals I got so far. I haven't been able to get the last one though

We've fixed the day end bug, thanks for your help on this people.

The last medal (32) at the bottom can be achieved by

Kind of fun. A little mindless, though.

Thanks for fixing some of those bugs, I have noticed one more: If i leave the game (close window) and come back to it later all of my medals are gone. not really a game breaker unless getting all the medals awards you somthing.
Cheers.

Am I missing something? It says I can equip 2 different characters to take with me, but it only let me switch out one. I am stuck constantly with the first dude I found, and I really want to trade him in for someone a little tougher (even though he looks like Mr. T)...

Regardless of what I do, Bugzilla's first four attacks are all the charge that does 60%+ of damage. Needless to say, I'm always dead long before the alien gun (and its "70% chance to hit") does any significant damage whatsoever.

@John. I"m sure they purposefully made last boss hard enough so that most people would buy their "premium" weapons. An otherwise good game ruined by too much emphasis on profit.

The last boss is possible to beat without the premium weapons, he is very hard though. We might tone that down a little.

Be fair to the us though, you've probably played for at least 2 hours by that time for no cost at all.

@Guest: If you click on someone who is already in your party in the top area of the roster, it removes him.

You can beat the boss with the normal equipment. There is an element of luck involved with his attacks but that's true of most boss fights out there, in my experience.

The premium content is an *optional extra* and we shouldn't begrudge the developers some income while we get to play these extremely fun and addictive games for free.

We have increased the firepower of the alien gun now so it hits much more on a regular basis.

It was possible to beat him, but we have had a few people moaning now, so we've made it a much fairer fight.

It won't load.
At all.

great game but now stuck the mall stadium and cinema all three are stuck somewhere around 23/36 objectives complete and I have painfully cone through each level square by square and I have found nothing at all. so other than that I loved the game

This game was fun for about the first hour; after that I kept playing because I'm compulsive. The extra characters were imaginative, and I enjoyed coming up with interesting combinations. I do think the final boss was a poor choice, though. I tried about ten times with what I'm pretty sure was an optimal strategy, and eventually I just gave up. It wouldn't have been so bad if the weapon wasn't so expensive to use -- I could only try once or twice before I had to

and grind through one of the early levels to replace my healing items and ammo.

I'm fine with premium content, but I feel like it should be _extra_ content. This is basically letting you play the whole game, and then asking you to pay to see the ending. (actually, when I phrase it that way, it sounds fine.)

A few other odd things I noticed:

1) I think this is the only game I've ever seen where the enemy party only gets one attack per round, no matter how many members it has. This has some interesting strategic implications. But it doesn't matter very much, because

2) Money drops seem to be completely random. I've gotten $200 from the 10-hp centipede guys and $20 from the 150-hp monster ants. So you can use stealth and scanning to almost completely avoid hard fights, and then make money by replaying early levels.

I can't buy anything at the store...

This has to be a bug: I cannot purchase anything; not weapons, not ammo, not equipment; nothing! So, I'm relegated to trying to beat the game with the original weapons, yay!

it wont let me buy any of the equipment the first time round

Huge problem here. The Alien Gun, the only non-premium (i.e., that which can be purchased with in-game funds as opposed to those weapons that can only be purchased with MochiCoins) weapon that deals enough damage to defeat Bugzilla, the final boss, misses too frequently (advertised as hitting 70% of the time, i.e., a 30% miss rate) to actually defeat the boss. A game that cannot be won isn't much of a game at all.

What a noob u are...I did it one minute ago, just with the laser gun oO

a tip for people on the last boss

with that combo and some health packs the boss should be easy

it is actually possible to beat the bugzilla guy without the alien gun nor any other shooting weapon
i beat it with the sledgehammer
(i did use items liken molotovs, poison and heal though)
so the boss might be less tough than the original but now it definitely is possible

The game has some nasty balance issues. Not all of the weapons which cost more and are of a higher tier are necessarily more powerful than the weapons below them, due to differences in accuracy, ammo cost and even average damage (the Blunderbuss averages less damage than the Crossbow, for example. Skip it.)

Whoever had the bright idea of rewards being completely random managed to make all the areas outside of the Beach Front completely redundant. Equip the Runner (to halve search times, giving you twice as many opportunities to fight) and the Burglar (to double rewards) and you'll earn 4x as much money. Fighting bugs with 10 and 15 HP for the same rewards as bugs with 100 and 150 HP. Go figure.

The Riot Shield doesn't prevent stun. Don't bother with it. Even if this bug is fixed, the only bug which inflicts Stun is the bee near the end of the game. The Mochi Hat is more useful overall.

Bug Repellant is typically a loss against the bugs whom you would actually want higher defense against. Use it against fodder to nullify their attacks, if you want, but I'd say you're better off just skipping it. For that matter, the grenades and bombs tend not to do enough damage to be worth it after the initial stages. You'll do more damage with your normal attack. Only use them against weaker enemies, especially groups, when farming for cash.

Stun Grenades are the one exception to this. Because they ALWAYS stun, they're free damage. Equip the Scientist and the Veteran and use three of these and you'll have done about 60 damage before the enemy gets their first turn. This will wipe out nearly any group of enemies and make the tougher enemies trivial.

Speaking of groups, be careful. A lot of the time, a powerful enemy will be grouped together with a weaker enemy. Rather than use multi-enemy attacks to kill them both or kill the weaker enemies at all, focus on the powerful enemy. Since only one enemy can attack per turn, you might as well capitalize on the Artificial Stupidity and let the weaker enemies attack while you cream the only one who could do any serious damage.

Good news: the Armor Games version doesn't seem to have any bugs in its programming. Does anyone know what that effect from the mutant bees' stings that causes the character to slump over while they take an extra attack is called?

I ask because they keep using that one to clobber me with massive damage before I can counter. I've tried adding survivors to my roster to gain an immunity to stunning & using adrenaline shots to treat drowsiness, & neither has worked.

[Good news: Toxers is automatically updated on every site where its hosted whenever the developer pushes out a bug fix, so you can always be sure you're playing the latest version no matter where you play. -Jay]

Good game. The rewards for killing bugs don't relate to the difficulty of the bugs killed though.

Here is my strategy to beat Bugzilla with the alien weapon:

am i the only one who had no problem killing the boss? it took me two tries.

Okay, I've searched every space & completed every mission, so how come there's apparently still one survivor that I haven't added to my roster?

It's the one in-between

to get the last medal, simply bring the medic and the rescuer to the park!

i cannot find the last character for my roster. I am missing the person in the 2nd row 7th in between and doctor and p. i. Can you tell me where i can find him?

For people wandering by, a note: if you're playing this Kongregate, you should disable Adblock. Having Adblock enabled breaks the game a whole lot. (The background in battle kept spinning, and I couldn't fight, or flee, or anything.)

How desperately annoying.

I had absolutly no problem beating the boss at all I've 26 out of 28 times the 2 times I lost I had just forgotten to buy health.

For those searching for the final survivor

How to you get medal 32?

* 25: Equip Rock Star and enter Stadium
* 26: Equip Boffin and Dog and enter Car Park
* 27: Equip City Chief and enter Golf Course
* 28: Equip Ice Cream Salesman and enter Warehousing
* 29: Equip Runner and enter Commercial
* 30: Equip Riot Police and enter Residential
* 31: Equip Wrestler and enter Cinema
* 32: Equip Rescuer and Medic and enter Park

lol could be handy ;) for you searched like mad :P

To beat the final boss i went in with veteran and the penguin guy and just used attack 2 from the laser until i got drowsy and then it had about 200hp left so i used grenades till it died. I was being hit for about 9hp every hit so it was pretty easy

I experienced a bug in the Cinema/Stadium/Mall area. I am stuck on 23-27/36 tiles cleared of bugs. I found out that it doesnt add the tile when I kill some bugs on it. Only those counted that were bug free.

Since some of the medals are based on number of bugs killed, a "bugs killed" counter somewhere in the game would be a nice feature. Just in case the game developers still check this page occasionally...

i actually beat the game without the plasma weapon or whatever but i do not have all the characters and each map says all characters found.... very confused on this. says the game is over and i was wondering if there is more to the game like some way to cross that bridge or is that for the next toxers....

i have just finished the game, using nearly 4hours, the boss is hard to defeat without mochi coins used, but i still win after several try, i keep on using bug repeller and keeping the boss on fired and posioned, i equipped veterian and scientist, and allen gun with hammer, only use attack 2 of the gun,i think that trying may gives success and luck is useful than the accuracy. To robert: the answer you need can be found on upper post...

I beat Bugzilla on the first try, and only used one medipack.

Thanks to the devs for making the game fun and beatable!

Well i have read the review and its good and the comments are helpful but for me the games not REALLY interesting its good the way it is but i just remember thinking. "I think this is gunna be one of those hack and slash platformers" but then i found it was a strategic turn based game >,> But I've played the game and finished it, however i think this game would be even funner re-done into a hack en slash or ... hack and shoot platformer i know most people are use to this game the way it is and everyone has there own opinions i hope no one is angry ... with this idea but i think it would be good not just for me. but for more people becuase i bet more then ME can relate.

To get the last person on the roster (Which can't be found on a normal search or scan or shout)
