your order is in.
YOU'RE ALL SET NOW.

Patience, or obsessive badgering?

oh... and I love how they have a "flying spaghettio monster"... not a "flying spaghetti monster". lol

Finally got my Big o' Cosmos. I was playing through level 4 (got past it earlier when the whole thing went out) when I realized I needed to crash asap or all the level 3's would be gone.

Same here... made it to level 4 but got no Big Orphaned Cetacea. Played multiple times already, and always get killed by a still and moving obstacle (so where do you go?). Fool me thrice...shame on all of us!

Woohoo! It's back up and running and faster than ever.

My second bra of confusion. This was frustrating at first, but still kind of fun. I love the fact that when you click the order button a second time, it says:

"Don't bogart the crap."

The worst problem I had (well, after the servers were up again) was that something kept stealing focus and the keyboard wouldn't control the game anymore.

Yes! Got one, first one!

I made it to level five twice. Thought I would have gotten a bag for that.

I got stuck in the circling timer page, lef it be for an hour or so, came back to see no change, checked my e-mail and had a message from Woot saying order in, card charged, ect. Anyone know if that means I really got one, or could April fool's extend to sending confirmation e-mails?

can u buy multiple bags this time around?

NVM i just won! =) keep playing!

do it, insanity awaits.

Dang you Jatravartid woot-flash-crap-bag-shoot-flying-crash-avoid-game for stealing my sleep! Dang!

It was quite a test in patience... I have been staring at the service not available message for the last 2+ hours and finally the game came back and I scored my first Bag of Cheer. I intentionally died shortly into the 4th level because I was afraid I would lose my Boggy old Creature if I went to level 5! Yay! Thanks Woot for the excellent game! I couldn't think of a better way to spend April Fool's Eve!

Got to Level 5, "won" the "privilege" of buying a Big o' Cosmos, and now they're sold out.

Screw this, I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll have better luck using a Bot during the next Woot-off.

Now when I click the 'I Want One' button, it just tells me that I have to beat level 4 but never gives me the game....just the message that I have to beat the game. Sheesh.

Just got my first ever Bag O' Crap!

*sobs*
Worst part of this game is its pure luck... if two obstacles don't spawn through a level, you're clear to go through.

Well, after 2 hours of trying to get through, I realized that buying from my CELLPHONE won.lt work. Thanks Woot, way to reward loyal customers.

i want to kill woot right now

3 dollars for a Big Orphaned Cetacea?! i just got one for free on my doorstep, plus it was on fire, so its that much cooler! you yipper snappers and your internet crap bags rabble rabble rabble...

Itkeeps telling me that I already got my Big o' Cosmos and not to bogart the crap... lol I need more crap.. haha

LOL I Can't believe all the traffic this cruel bag-o-fools is bringing......

April Fools!!!!

Woo Hoo, Woot!!! I'm back in the Crap with Level 3! My second bag ever!!!

This is warping infuriating.

I've been trying for 2 hours to get past Level 3, but it's impossible as it always sends a monkey on a pterodactyl and a double rainbow at me to block off both pathways. It ceased to be amusing after about the 20th time that happened.

And now it's on level 4? Whatever.

This is awful.

This game is seriously flawed. totally not worth a buttoned olive candle.

I hate games. Any way around this one?

Oh woot, you and your games broke the interwebs

Level 4 now!!?!! Insanity, thy name is woot! Mine is April Fools.

Hallewootlewya and praise the Woot Gods!!!!

I have a black box, have been here since 2004, and just NOW got my 2nd only EVER Big o' Cosmos!!!!

I was also confused the first time I passed level 3 and they sent me on through to level 4.....but I think what it is is this:

You HAVE to have some number (possible even greater than 3?) in your "successfully delivered" box @ the upper left of the screen when you get to the end of that level for it to "count."

I noticed I had none when I passed level 3 this time, but had 5 in my box when I got to the end of level 4, where I was started to freak out a bit b/c I was given a parachute and started drifting backwards. But it was then that I noticed instead of the same box, there was a big black box listing the top 10 winners, with an option to buy button just to the left of the "play again" button.

It took me awhile to notice that any successful deliveries in a row that you have accumulated in the green box get wiped out (blank/no number) when:
1. You pass over a waiting target without attempting to deliver, or
2. You toss it, but miss the delivery.

So....MAKE SURE that you have some successful deliveries on your tote board when you reach the end of the current level...or they will make you complete the next one up.

That's my theory, at least....and I'm sticking to it unless told differently. Mods, I hope I'm not breaking any rules by explaining the above, but I was guessing that you had disabled access to the forum until winning a bag. It gave me an error screen immediately, each time I tried......UNTIL I was able to order my garbage, when it let me right in here.

Good luck, my brethren!!!!

And thanks, Woot!!!!.....for creating the slowwwwwwest and most boring game ever, but in doing so, making the whole Big o' Cosmos thing fair to all.

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY TO ALL!!!!!!

This is crap! Hard to beat it when there is an object in the lane and one moving in the other and you cant avoid both. Happened to me 15 time in a row.

One more gargleblaster! I just got my first ever Big o' Cosmos! I got in when it was on level 3 and after dying twice, finally got past it! Awesome!!! I'm so excited!

Don't give up hope! I just got my Big Orphaned Cetacea!!

Kind of an impossible game to get very far. Looks like some have decompiled it already to get their crap.

i dont understand where i am supposed to play this game to beat the level...

i am logged in.. i click on I WANT ONE, and instead of being taken to a game, i just get a popup that says YOU MUST BEAT LEVEL XXXX

So i cant get anywhere to try to win and buy what am i doing wrong?

Gotta love how I beat 7 levels (it loops around to level 1 again after you beat level 4) and then when I died the game froze with no final screen. That happened 90% of the times I play.

I've gotten past level 4 a bunch of times now. The only thing that happens is some failed asynchronous call to "addscore."

What exactly was SUPPOSED to happen? How am I magically supposed to buy an item?

WOOT! After years of trying, I finally got my first Big Orphaned Cetacea! Thanks for the fun game Woot, and for giving me a chance at winning! :D

whats the point of trying?

We are going to pretend you did not actually make it far enough while our event was messed up. Oh and while your trying to do it again, we up the requirements.

Horrible execution....

Beat level 4 for the "level 3" bag and no buy button... Now it won't even let me play.

My guess is no. And here's why:

I. Thou shalt expect nothing beyond ONE bag of some kind and THREE crappy items
