  2. Second :)

    OK, either it's not loading or I am dense. I am hoping the former. Did anybody play this yet?

    ReplyDelete
  3. It's "not loading" for me either, so I'm beginng to suspect this might be the game...we shall see.

    ReplyDelete
  4. anyone figure this out? it doesnt appear to be working

    ReplyDelete
  5. I wish whoever wrote the last comment would enlighten us all because I can't seem to get the game to work either... Not sure if it's just me though still...

  6. I kill number 6... become number 7 and can't get passed the level :S

    ReplyDelete
  7. how do you start the game?

    ReplyDelete
  8. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghh!
    not helpful but accurate.

    ReplyDelete
  9. You need to click 'Level select' to start!

    ReplyDelete
  10. There is nothing to click!

    ReplyDelete
  11. You are all right-It does nothing for me,too.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Not loading. Just an empty progress bar.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Just hit the refresh button and you're good to go...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Refreshed it about 20 times, and there's still just this empty bar.

    ???

    ReplyDelete
  15. Empty progress bar in Safari. Works fine in Firefox.

  16. i dont get how 1*9=3
    ???

  17. to anonymous:

    I kill number 6... become number 7 and can't get passed the level :S

    -you pass the level when you get the green light at the end. I'm stuck on level 3.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Level 3 solution:

    1*9/9*3=3

    ReplyDelete
  19. @ qwerty : how'd you get past level 2? 1 kills 6, turns into 7 but the math equation is 1+6=6 and the light does not turn green. What am I missing?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I killed the six and turned into a 7 but the equation at the bottom says "
    1+6=6" and the button at the end is red so I can't proceed.
    How does this game work?

    ReplyDelete
  21. when you start level 2:
    the equation at the bottom says
    1=6
    you are number 1
    the number you need to attack is 6
    1(you)
    attack #6 with * (multiplication)
    1*6=6
    you need to attack the numbers with the math signs to get the correct answer then you move to the next level.
    Im currently stuck on level 4 because im not really that great at doing math in my head :\

    ReplyDelete
  22. P.S. what ever number you are, when you attack the next number you turn into the solution of that math problem.
    for example- 1 attacked 8 with +
    I turned into 9. the next number I attacked was 2 with -
    so I turned into 7.

    you cant become a number more than 9 or less than 1. If you do the level starts over.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Level 4:
    1=9 at bottom of screen
    I start as 1
    I confront 8, 2, 6, 4 in that order
    I need to end up as 9.

    Does that make sense?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Level 4 solution:

    1+8-6+2+4=9 yay!!

    on this one you have to go to the upper level to subtract 6 but dont get spotted by 2!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thank you qwerty - I was trying to use the keypad 1,2,3,4 and that doesn't work. Only the numbers on top of the keyboard! Gotcha!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Bart! Good GOD man! Why did you post this nightmare?! Level 5 is ridiculous!

    I've figured that 1*8-1-5=2 but you'd have to jumped 1 twice and somehow shoot 8 in between jumps?!

    YARRRGGGHHH!!!! FOO!

    If someone else figured out the smart way to do this please help!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. samo for me, lvl 5 seems crazy.
    can't see how to pick up the figure in the right order ...
    if you go down to catch the 8 you're stuck but this 8 seems impossible to reach form the top platform (furthermore without killing the 1) !!

    ReplyDelete
  28. OK - in level 4 I am a 9 but I can't find the end line...

    ReplyDelete
  29. not workink ??? !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. hey jaypee
    guess thats why its called number "ninjas". you can get behind a number when its back is turned to you (you wont be spotted until it faces you, if you jump away right when the exclamation mark shows you'll be safe but it will be pacing faster for a little bit then go back to normal) then jump and shoot towards where 8 is and hopefully you'll hit it without having to go down there.

    ReplyDelete
  31. lol, hey anon (or is it Peter trying to save face on his game?).

    the only choice IS to try shooting 8 at random because going down there means a restart... also, the time between "!" and "spotted" is miniscule anyways.... the difficulty is WAYYYY too ramped for the 5th level in...

    any pointers on level 5? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. maybe there are hidden or secret controls, like to shoot farther or jump higher
    the ducking doesn't seem to be useful anywhere yet

    ReplyDelete
  33. Has Bart played this game?
    I would like to know his opinion on it and if he has passed lvl 5?

    ReplyDelete
  34. If you restart enough times on level 5 you can see a number 8 with a blue bandana just before you start.

    ReplyDelete
  35. i was messing with the "c" control, looking around at the surroundings, and it got stuck. Then I ended up with a floating number 1.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That happened on the 5th level. I forgot to mention that.

    ReplyDelete
  37. i got it! time!

    at 17 seconds, the 1 should be hitting the corner and turning. jump across, jump straight up, and launch a *... you should hit 8. then quickly jump back across and hit 1 with a - safely across the gap... :)

    use "c" to look around and watch the clock....

    ninja??? nope! crafty? yup! ;)

    shame on me for killing so much time though... lol

    ReplyDelete
  38. LOLOLOLOL, and then level 6 won't even load! Even after I passed 5 again!

    mwahahahaha, y'all have a good night... I done with the insanity.

    You stay sexy San Diego!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Big grey box with a white rectangle.

    Great game.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Are the people who got the game to work using IE or some other browser? Even with refreshing, it's still just an empty white rectangle for me...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Only browser I can get it to work in is Firefox, so give that a shot!

    ReplyDelete
  42. so how exactly do i pass level 2????

    ReplyDelete
  43. Seems like this game is only working in Firefox indeed ...

    ReplyDelete
  44. definately, Bart. Oh, well. Get enough math every day, anyway. :P

    ReplyDelete
  45. hey Bart, i really want to play itt!!! please find a way to post it and that it works everywhere!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Download the (free) navigator "Mozilla Firefox" and use that instead of explorer. Works like a charm!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Grr it wont load! I only have an empty progress bar. What do you do? So frusterating! I wanna play!
    >:O

    ReplyDelete
  48. bart can you remove JAYPEE's last coment so the parents/10 year olds and under can get back on the site?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh wow.... Hey "Anon", Take a closer look at some of the games posted on this site...

    Children and those with easily offended sensibilities probably shouldn't be on this site anyway...

    LOTS worse out there than the word "sexy"...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Too hard for me...

    No fun in this game.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I got past level 5 but now the next level isn't loading. A shame, the idea for this game is REALLY good. But the maker somehow managed to absolutely ruin it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. @ Thijs:

    did you pass lvl5 just like JayPee did? or is there another way?

    ReplyDelete
  53. @ I

    No, I used JayPee's advice, it's the only way and you'll need a few tries to get the timing right. I jumped right after 16 seconds I think.

    ReplyDelete
  54. i passed to lvl 13 and i'm stucked.
    Someone help in this?

    ReplyDelete
  55. i beat the game. 4/5

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm stuck on level nine. Any help?

    ReplyDelete
  57. I am stick at level 11 :( Why the hell it's so hard, cant get an 8 when I got 6 and a - a / and a X and 3, 2 and 1 ... I found a way to grab -, / and X without alerting the numbers but I dont know which one to hit first, second and third and with which attack :(

    ReplyDelete
  58. @ Brognor

    the solution for lvl 11 is: 6/2*3-1=8

    ReplyDelete
  59. Does anyone know how to get past lvl 14? I can't find a way to kill nr 3 (the - doesn't want to hit it)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Never mind, got it :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. How pass lvl 14 ?? pls

    ReplyDelete
  62. Lvl 14 solution : 1*8-5*3-2=7

    to shoot nr 3, don't shoot from the ground or mid air, something in between. I know that sounds hard, but that's how I got it. It will need some practice though. Hope that helps :)
