Orbular



Hmmm. Red and white. Circles and strips. This picture really smells of Christmas if we take off some redundant words like the big one down the lower right corner that reads "Orbular". Calls back all the fucking awful memories.

Orbtacular Badge (hard – 30 points)
Reach level 15 in normal mode.




Easter egg of the weirdo.


No Orb Left Behind Badge (impossible – 60 points)
Reach level 15 in endurance mode.

Hey, how about beating this crap the hard way? No joking, that's how I earned the badge. Though a technique I later developed - which is especially useful against the _root.values anti-cheat countermeasures - can be used for this dirty fuckjob. It's all inside the following video, guess I am being your Santa Claus today:




[How to Kongregate] Orbular Walkthrough - Hacking Kongregate Badges Using Flash Katana 1.9

(Original video is here if you desire better resolution.)

This is probably the most powerful way existing at this moment to hack any Flash game on Kongregate, given that you know of the names of the variables you would like to hack. However, a Firefox extension in development called Muspell sounds like having even greater potential by condensing all the steps inside the video into a tiny browser addon, though when I tried to download the beta release, it has kinda disappeared or been taken off for the time being. Hopefully we will be able to learn more about this promising Muspell from NightEternal soon.

It's not really the problem of the game, but whomever created that badge having too much shit inside the head.

  1. Very nice tutorial man, but for some reason katana can't connect to my account in the kongregate chat. It asks me to sign in. Do you know why?

    ReplyDelete
  2. Uh, there is one point I didn't make clear inside the video, that is I minimized the browser, not closing it. If you close the browser your session will be lost.

  3. uhh good job once again. but plz do monsters den.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Thanks a lot, that solved my problem!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Monster Den is really easy to hack actually, as the only difference is that it uses AS3 instead of AS2, which does not multiplies all the values by 8. Load up Cheat Engine and search for the actual values, not *8.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hehe, I figured out this method before. Here's the link to muspell for you. http://lemuria.awardspace.com/muspell.xpi

    Night had trouble with making it inject normal variables into the kongregate games. It does _root variables but doesn't wanna work with normal. Though it works with normal variables on any game but kongregates, it's a problem caused with the loader.

    here is the link to how to hack monster's den, be sure u use full screen for a better resolution of the video

    P.S.
    also be sure that u have at least 10 spare skill pointz before trying to hack it.

  8. Very nice tutorial, but the little light won't turn green when I load up the chat. Not sure why this is so, even with the minimizing of the browser.

    ReplyDelete
  9. just refresh the page many times

    ReplyDelete
  10. @Anonymous: Close the tab in your browser which contains the chat and the game first before you load up Katana, like what I did inside the video.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, still no dice, even when I follow the video exactly in terms of step order. Has anyone else had this problem?

  12. As near as I can tell, Flash Katana simply doesn't work - I tried using it to simply play the games it downloads knowing about, and it failed miserably; I suspect the reason is that it uses flash 6, which is obsolete. I tried playing e.g. Shield Defense (not the Kong version) which Katana ships knowing about, and it wouldn't even play, forget any cheats.

    Specifically, the background terrain loaded, then some floating hitpoint bars appeared and started circling, and some explosions started occurring in the upper left hand corner. Nothing else happened, like, say, the splash screen loading (although the initial advertisement splash did load before that).

    ReplyDelete
  13. Sweet! Thanks for this walkthrough, Orbular badges in the bag - now just need to rip apart that ridiculous Fold game...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Gameace, how can you get it with muspell, I also have that addons but it seems to have some problems with the javascript (may be can not set the correct variable), it keeps saying : Error on calling method NPObject. Any idea?

    ReplyDelete
  15. For fold you can give yourself as many balls as you want easily with cheat engine. I'm not sure how to increase your lives, but this helps a bit at least. Now to get through the levels with the terrible controls.

    ReplyDelete
  16. @Anonymous: I may be able to help you if you can make a screencast; otherwise there is no way I can understand what might lead to your problem.

    @Carbon: I beat Fold within a blink after watching LordDazzer's videos. The game will become awfully easy once you know how should you place your balls for each stage and the right maneuvers to take. Dunno why so many people think it's difficult, really. It's a pretty nice game.

    ReplyDelete
  17. That's what I did, just went and found a video of someone doing it really nicely except I used my own strategy on a level or two. Then for the people who must cheat you can get Inf. Gravity balls just multiply how many you have by 8 then throw one and decrease and keep going till you get the right value. If you can't do it with inf gravity balls then.... yeah.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I am having problem connecting to the awardspace site. Anyone could load up the page successfully?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Re: Fold
    "If you can't do it with inf gravity balls then.... yeah."
    Well, so far I've been passed THROUGH a wall four times on one level, been splattered on the wall for using too much gravity, and had anomalies that fail to fire when the mouse is clicked. Infinite gravity is nice, infinite lives is the correct answer. ;) This is probably something Katana/Muspell can deal with - haven't looked at the score, but that'll likely need addressing for the Impossible badge.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, I tried to do like this video in the game MAD, but I don't get the badge...

    My chat is working normaly...

    I left open the homepage of the Kongregate but it still not give me the badge, can you solve my problem ?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Make sure you have "Lock Value" checked for all cheats, press spacebar and click the restart button and now you should have all the badges that meet the situations your cheats have set.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well, I tried it and still not works...

    I did this hacks:
    _root.resources = 100000 (Locked)
    _root.acc = 1 (Locked)
    _root.score = 200000 (Locked)

    I'm doing something wrong... ¬¬

  23. Perhaps choose a time with less people online and redo it again. This sometimes happens.

  25. What's the point of cheating? The badges are there as an award for completing the challenge. You don't get anything other than a pretty graphic on your profile page and a sense of self-accomplishment.

    By cheating, all you're getting is a pretty graphic on your profile - which is completely useless without the accompanying sense of achievement.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Because if this "accompanying sense of achievement" will require you to invest more than hours on a single badge challenge, like this one - it's simply a luxury for many people around. You were only seeing things from your own point of view and that is the flaw.

  27. WTF?? Why the little red circle in my chat won't go green???

    ReplyDelete
  31. Bear with it, if your work is going public you can't stop people from commenting and fiddling with it.

    ReplyDelete

  41. -asmodous-

    I can't find katana, can you give any sites?

    You don't need ten skill points to hack monsters den, I did it with two!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thank you very much for this info.

    For some reason Katana has decided to be a fucksmudge for me and won't work. I followed the link on CE forum to the latest .net shit and got all that. And I still get an error whenever I do pretty much ANYTHING (Try to run a game, try to delete a game).

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ok I expect to get a stack of noob-type comments thrown at me for this, but it has taken me months to be actually able to download Muspell onto my computer ( I gave p on trying to get Niflheim and Katana 1.9 as they always said the file was corrupted or something ). Anyway, now that I have Muspell, I haven't got a clue how to use it. Is there a video showing this? I've tried youtube etc with no success. It asks for variables, and I've seen you guys mention variables in your posts but I haven't got a clue.

    ReplyDelete
  44. When i start the Chat thing, it just shows a black screen, same with orbular, Help plz?

    ReplyDelete
  45. wat is the sothink falsh extension thingy and how to get it? oh man... im still a noob hacker...

    oh uhm sorry im the prev anon...
    but i was trying to say that i followed your orbulor tutoriol with katana and i did it to the T
    but even after i finished like 3 times, the kongregate chat box still has me loged in, it had me talking to loged in users and the badges never showed up even after repetitive trys,on diferent badges too. like the M.A.D. ones. i have the first 2 badges from oridgonly playing it, took like a full class period. anoying as shit. but still. so i tryed it th katana way. and it still didnt work.... ok well i got to go laters

    ReplyDelete
  51. What did you mean by "to the T"...?

    The badges are only offered for the normal and endurance modes, so you may want to check if you were playing inside wrong modes. Or if you are certain it's about Katana, you may also try Niflheim instead.

    Hi, i have the last firefox.. and, were i cant see the " chat page " and " game page "

    please.. the new firefox its diferent =/

    ReplyDelete
  53. I am not sure what is the problem you're trying to say... Did you mean the sothink addon? You need to download it or similar addons; it's not inside vanilla Firefox.

    sothink and -ishes not show any tag after the .swf
    "chat_131234451.swf"
    as appears in your
    "chat_131234451.swf?blabla=test"

    ReplyDelete
  55. One most possible explanation is that those addons need to be totally re-written to fit in the structure of Firefox 3.0; in that case you can try out Niflheim instead. It's similar but more polished in a way, and if you need further assistance, our community can be of great helps.

    ReplyDelete
  56. So I followed your video, coping down the .swf URLs from firefox into Katana. The problem is 1.) I'm noticing the URL from .swf catcher is far shorter then the one I saw from your video and 2.) The chat in Katana will NOT connect regardless if the session for my browsers kongregate's chat is up or not. (In other words I had firefox minimized, closed, etc., I tried many alternatives). I'm assuming it might be that the URL is not giving me all the stuff I need so, any advice on that?

    Also here is an example URL: http://chat.kongregate.com/flash/GameShell_1225168407.swf

    Katana, Niflheim and Muspell don't work anymore, use Ragnarok.
