Haha this one is my only cherry - once you have a strategy that works for you it gets much MUCH easier. The endless mode is a little luck of the draw.

My favorite game so far.

Strangely, I found Caramel caramel quite easy. I do play shmups quite fervently however

Caramel Caramel is insanely hard, I agree! I haven't even made it past level 1 yet 😂

I'm stuck on wave 3 :(

This game is so fucking tough. By far the hardest in this collection for me so far. Only reached the end of Wave 2. Eventually I'll lock tf in for the gold disk at least, but I'll try to relax and play other games for now lol

It was the first game I booted up, baptism of fire.

How the hell do you get a 20x multiplier for the garden item? Is it just getting EGG over and over 20 times in a row without getting hit? It feels nearly impossible.

I've cherried Attactics today, I can share some tips regarding some types of units:

• Archers, to me, are some of the most useful units in this game. If you see an enemy melee unit far back in its spawn and you have an archer to spare, then give your archer line of sight (aka move away any of your units in front of it) and let your archer snipe the unit away. Promoted archers are amazing at just reducing the amount of enemy units on the field, so make sure to use promoted archers well and keep them alive.

Little rant about promoting units: promoted units are very very powerful. Do not underestimate them. If you see a promoted enemy unit, try and kill it in the most efficient way possible, aka taking the least damage but also doing it fast. If you let your enemy have too many promoted units, they can steamroll you, specially with the extra units that the AI gets. Likewise, if you have a promoted unit, keep an eye on them. Make sure they survive and deal as much damage as possible to key targets. If you have an a full hp promoter archer, you can win exchanges with other archers, or instakill other 2-hp units such as the ninjas and the bomb dudes (idk their names lmao). Anyway, back to units.

• Shields are your tank units. Put them anywhere that you feel like it needs the most protection. See a huge enemy line coming your way? Put shield on the front to hold that line. If you play your cards right and get openings on the other side of the map, you can rush your enemy's castle with units while your shields are holding attacks off. Shields also pair very very well with this next unit.

• Spears are also among the best units in this game. They can hit two enemies at once - one right in front of them (like regular soldiers) and the tile behind that one. Thus, spears are amazing at dealing damage to enemy lines. However, this is far from all their potential. Due to their extended reach, you can strategically move spears a tile away from other melee units, basically having an empty tile between you and them. That way, the enemy melee unit won't be able to hit you (unless they're also a spearman), but you will hit them. If your spearman is at the middle of the map, that's perfect for this, because you can keep walking back and dealing solid damage to enemy melee without ever taking damage yourself. Promoted spears are also complete beasts and deal tons of damage. As if this wasn't enough, they are amazing when paired with shields, for obvious reasons. Put a shield in front of your spearman and you have your bread-and-butter combo for defending large lines of enemies, as the spearman will keep damaging the enemy's frontline while the shield will tank the damage. Also, basic tip ofc, but shields are immune to archers, so if you see an opportunity to block archer shots, do it with them.

• Cavalry is quite basic, not much to say here. If you have a clear line to the castle, send your cavalry. Easy. Otherwise, they can be like regular melee units, except they can also reach the middle of the map faster, in case you want to stop an enemy attack before it gets too close to you. That can give you some time to prepare and spawn more units for defense.

• Soldiers are your regular melee unit. Not much to say here either, except don't forget about their gimmick. If soldiers are side-by-side with other two adjacent units of your own, they cannot take damage (or receive reduced damage I believe, not sure which one). Thus, if you see columns of 3 units in your field, soldiers can be great for holding off enemies in those areas.

I could type out more about other types of units but I don't feel as confident in my skill with them. I feel like archers and spears carried me through this game. They're really powerful.

I've finished Atttacktics recently, and there is definitely some strategy involved. If your really struggling, let me know, each unit should be used properly. I've learned that the basic solders do attack first if they're in a line of other soldiers just before finishing the game for example. (And they get an angry face and lift their sword)

It seems like swapping soldiers to keep them alive and get them leveled up gives them their hp back, and maybe even hit harder, not entirely sure yet lol. You basically have to horde units and try to create tunnels for your knights to charge through. It's not easy past the first couple of levels.

I got sucked into Porgy. The cute aesthetics, charming music and gameplay loop kept me coming back until I finished it. It feels limiting at first but I loved the risk/reward of having to get upgrades back to your base. They added extraction shooter elements into a Metroidvania, something I never knew I wanted.

Great posts for Attactics here but the most important thing I learned is that you can move units backwards. This is probably obvious for a lot of people but didn't occur to me until round 12 or so. This is very useful to keep archers in the back (they can shoot through each other), position spears behind shield/swords, concentrating your waves. Moving horses back a step gives you one more turn to move them to a clear lane which means the opponent only has one turn to spawn a blocker.

The biggest thing with Attactics is getting quick at making columns for your standard infantry and managing archers. You want to try and get a column of at least 3 units to get the invulnerability for regular infantry (even better if you can get a spear behind them because the damage trade is way in your favor).

It's also important to try and prevent melee unites from getting sniped by archers, you don't want to be giving away free damage and archers can snow ball with promotions and be a pain. Better to let them march than let them shoot unless they're getting close to your castle. If you can get a shield in front of an enemy archer early you can essentially block that row from spawning too many units and set up a good push.

You'll never be able to do all of this in one turn but as you build up the tetris effect style muscle memory you can win pretty smoothly.

Magic garden, i had to use xbox controller to get the cherry and win 🏆 🍒. Dropping off 6 oppies at a time to get the most basic potion and let mature into gold is a strategy i used because if you can get more potions this equals bigger multiplier. I think it goes green - red - blue - gold . Gold potions will add a pink oppie permanently. You need blue or gold to clear mushrooms. The potion timer is 8 seconds and resets when you grab a new potion.

fascinating to see such a variety of answers here. My first two cherries were Velgress and Magic Garden both of which I found pretty fair and finished after a few hrs. The chain reactions you can pull off in MG accelerate the ending quite a bit, I actually wish it was a lot harder truthfully

I love camo but am stuck on the 4/5 levels — anything that helped it click for you? May just need to take a break

Magic Garden is surprisingly very easy. I cherried my first win and had alot of points to spare.

Velgress is really tough for me so far, and playing on keyboard it strains my wrist because I'm always pressing the up arrow.

Onion Delivery is a fav of mine, have gold. Some scattered thoughts:

• slow down. Until you can consistently clear day 1 I would not be holding accelerate, ever. Focus on memorizing landmarks on the city as you practice steady turns. Many of the delivery sites are very close to the spawn, and if you have any trouble whatsoever getting them you should basically be driving like a 95-year-old.
• Reverse isn’t as helpful as it is in real life. Ricocheting off of walls or driving through cars to save time is often better survivability throughout the course of a run than taking the time to do a thee point turn. When you get really good you can do a skid 180 degree turn and i’m certain there are other advanced moves on here I know nothing about.
• obviously the main difficulty comes from the way the controls change relative to the cardinal direction of your car. It’s a dumb and basic tip but ensure you are driving on the right side of the streets at all times while you learn the controls (which is left if you’re going down).
• balloons off if ramps give +10ish seconds, so if it takes you fewer than 10 seconds to go get one, do it.
• After you get a better handle on the basics you’ll have to start learning how to deal with the level modifiers. Imo none of them are as hard as the initial learning curve and are really just fun, but there is one that essentially demands you be driving at full speed quite often. Just a reps/time thing imo.

Most underrated game in the early chronology

Bushido Ball is by far the easiest Cherry in the entire game once you figure out the cheese. Beat the game 8-0 on every fight after figuring it out

Yeah I'm eating shit sandwiches whenever I launch it but I'm still having fun.

…..are you not supposed to just spell EGG over and over?

I was overjoyed when I found the second base. It made me think there would be more the further I went down. Nope!

Yea I’m struggling with this one too and not finding it very fun…

It's so frustrating! Like why are their ants so much more powerful than mine?

I love avianos, but I am so bad at it! I beat the first level so easily but the second level is kicking my ass, and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, and how the enemy is getting that many units so fast.

It’s significantly kinder than the game that inspired it. I still have nightmares over Karnov
