lol, dungeons and dragons.

I didn't think anything was more annoying about Woot than how arbitrary and hard it was to get a Big o' Cosmos.

But apparently, it could always be more arbitrary and hard.

lol crap level 7? We, the Hitchhikers? Am I fighting Mr. Hanky now?

I don't mind the game, love the idea, but I'm with everyone else who's said it, when it keeps throwing 2 obstacles side by side, it's impossible, and makes it no fun. PLUS the fact that while playing for an hour at the start I made it past the required level at least 4 or 5 times and each time when I died it either gave me some weird script error on the ending page or just froze. That's just frustrating. If we get to the required level we should have had our chance for the Big o' Cosmos. like the others who managed to buy. Sad sad April Fool's joke on us. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me. :-(

I made it to level 6, only to be warped back to level 1. I give up.

Get to level 7 and you shall have a highly desired bag o crap to enjoy for a lifetime.

How many people, including myself, will woot get fired today?

Level 7? I couldn't beat level 3! Oh FSM, why do you hate me so, that you feel you must run me into the Zepplinwurst time and again?

I don't know I don't think the bag O crap is worth it, for some reason I liked it better when we all had a chance, this is just based on luck nothing we can do, kinda frustrating, next time woot should just have a lottery of email addresses giving us the option for a bag, I love woot, but I have other things to do with my time, kind of ruins the excitement.

Meh. I spent 45 minutes trying to get the game to load- never even saw the game.

just got 'server busy' over and over and over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

even the forum was crashed.

I'd be embarrassed if I was the host of this site. Load balancing?


Amazon blows donkey balls.

COME ON!!!!... i want my Big Orphaned Cetacea. LEVEL 7. i cant get past 4 the both lanes are blocked

4 hours to clean out Level 6. Let the games begin!

A couple of people said they got more than one bee-oh-see. After fighting with the servers, getting mad, deciding it was a 04/01 day trick, and then finally snagging the prize, I did it all again and got this:



I'm not saying they didn't get more than one, (more power to ya if you have that much time/willpower) I'm just sayin' I got denied.

I'm not sure which is the bigger troll: Making multiple attempts to make it to Level 6 (and dying from a cheap death each time because you can't dodge what's in either lane), or not getting an option to buy after I finally was able to pass Level 6 and then dying.

Thanks a lot, Woot; you sent me a few cards in the mail and a note asking why I don't buy from you more often, and then you pull a stunt like this. The hour I spent playing was worth more than any "deal" I'll probably ever find on here again.

I am getting the same issue....gave up at level 3

There is a way around it.

You can cheat between items, AND keeping the multiplier up by hitting targets SEEMS to reduce the amount of times this happens.

Got my Big o' Cosmos though, thanks WooT!

I'm glad to see the cheaters have figured out how to hack the game.

Fun game and great April Fools thingie. I've resigned myself to accepting that I won't beat...level 7 it is now for a Big o' Cosmos but it's still fun.

All I know is the music makes me horny. Where can I get the MP3? I'd love to loop it on a CD to play while making whoopee with wifey.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I GIVE UP!

Ok so here is my take on this. Normally when the bag 'o carp comes up everyone jumps on woot. This crashes their servers, leaving it to luck or state location (I'm looking at you Midwest). Then you have the mix of joy and frothing anger on the message boards.

With this game you have to illusion of skill, but it is in fact luck based (the double blocks). Benefit to woot is that this way the sale of the big 'o cosmos doesn't crash their server (as much) and people who wouldn't often get the chance to get one can. Sort of. Either way you go they are both luck based.

On a side note, I played for about an hour and got double blocked before level 4 ever time. Its a cute game, but I personally would rather find out that I wasn't getting the badger of carpathia in 10 mins not 1 hour.

They DO call it a crapshoot for a reason...

I like to think I'm a good Wooter. I order lots of t-shirts and watch Woot-offs diligently for the interesting things I want. I have the WootWatch iPhone app, and I check it every day, sometimes twice to make sure there wasn't something I missed. I follow Woot on Twitter, I like it on Facebook and I tell all my friends about it.

In light of your actions today, Woot, I must reevaluate our relationship, and I am left asking the question that I think is on all of our minds: "Why have you forsaken us?"

Not lvl 6 but just woke up from the night's sleep. I got frustrated at level 3 when I got to level four, died, and it didn't recognize I got far enough (yesterday at 1). GRR

Got my Big o' Cosmos on Level 2, receipt from Woot and charge to Paypal in my email. I'm just glad I saw someone's post that you are only allowed one Big o' Cosmos or I'd be trying again... good, but frustrating, April Fool's joke!!

Yeah... after playing for an hour and a half... just, too many double blocks. Would have been really cool if it was an actual game and not so much of a luck thing. Even when I was hitting all my targets it didn't make a difference. Just... awful.

I wave my white flag. I give up. Woot, you are the devil of the internet today.

not so good an idea for those of us who are disabled...

Um, whats going on? mmcord has the top several spots in score, but all at level 1...that sounds suspicious to me...

Dear Woot- Thank you for making an April Fools game that makes people mad due to faulty low end crappy coding. All my deaths are due to two objects taking up the entire path making no route passable. A Flesh coding for Dummies book would have taught you how to prevent that even! I hope you didn't pay a programmer much for this game!

this game completely sucks, it's impossible to beat, i've followed woot for about 3 years and haven't bought anything, now i finally get a chance for something i want and i have to beat some b.s. game, i'm done with woot

Yeah, praying RNG doesn't screw you over for that many levels just isn't worth it.

GL to the rest

Not worth getting fired for! LOL.

Same thing here...
I don't mind losing because of a mistake on my part. But when objects are coming down both lanes at the same position there is NO way to avoid getting hit unless I am missing something???

Maybe it is Woot's way of 'thinning the herd' and that regardless of your skill it's your turn to start over :-(

Wow, any chance they're going to do something about the obvious cheating going on? People getting 7 digit scores on the leaderboard on level 1...

All the crap is gone . Don't waist your time.

Dear Woot,

You suck!

...

but I still love you.

At least they can play the game, nothing happens when I click i want one...been trying for an hour...http security yes or no box pops up, i click yes, nothing happens...

This is a classic April Fools joke. Annoying, continuous, chance-based. Gotta hate it. Best of all, my string of no bags of crap shall remain unbroken.

How are people cheating????

this game is a bag o crap.
