I have to admit, its a fun game. I got my Big o' Cosmos and I am still playing. Its kinds addictive. It really is a crapshoot since you never know when you will face two things blocking your path with no way around them.

Finally received my level 3 as well.

yeahhhhh!!!! mi first bag o crap!!!!!
thanks woot!!!

I made it pretty far, and get to the order page, but after entering my password and whatnot I get:

This sale is sold out.
Your order is invalid (code: no lines)

April Fools' Day, I suppose.

meh

Everything seems to be working again, I got my glorious glorious Big o' Cosmos!!!

I played this game at least 20 times already... Each time, I get trapped with a double obstacle... Like a still object and something flying in the other lane. I was not able to beat level 3. How did all of you manage to beat it???

made it to level 6 on level 2. and it didn't even give me an option to buy, let alone retry... server fail....

kinda frustrated that I beat Lvl 3 when that was all that was required and then the site crashed. Now I have to beat Lvl 4 and the fact I got past Lvl 3 is irrelevant. Ugh...

Woo! Grabbed a Level 4 Big o' Cosmos..

Does anybody know how to get past Level 4 though? I got dropped back to Level 1 even though it recorded Level 4 as completed (didn't die). I didn't have over 100,000 points yet (95,000).

too many times where a static hazard and a moving hazard have made it impossible to continue

They could use some better flash animators/programmers it seems.

Hire me dang it. And then maybe this game will be less broken!

Anyone else getting random spots where you can't get by because there's something in each lane? Is that Woot's wicked point?

I'm living proof that you can get through these levels after much trying. I got to the second Level 2 (6th Level Overall). It seemed a lot easier that go-around. Maybe Woot has programmed it to be more forgiving the deeper into this AFDBOCWO we go? Anyway, it's MY FIRST Big o' Cosmos EVER after three years. I'm excited! Worth the frustration.

It said my order didnt process but then it charged my account. Does this mean I'm in?

So at level 2 Big o' Cosmos I was at the order screen and it didnt go through. Played the game again and after level 4 went back to level one. Now I can't even get a chance to play again (it says beat level 4, which I did)

I prestiged @ level 4 and won myself a Big o' Cosmos.

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

I have purchased a level 1 & a level 3.
both show up in my account. Not saying that woot won't clean this up later, but as of right now, I have multiple bags.

This is why less and less I even come to this site, a half-completed and insanely buggy game to even spend money with a company. Great idea Woot, glad there are other deal sites out there now.

This is an interesting idea that is ruined by a completely messed up game. Every time I have died in the game it was due to an object being in both lanes at the same spot, making it completely impossible to dodge. Makes it worse that I got the option to buy a bag while it was on level 3, then when I clicked the buy it said it was sold out...now I get to play the messed up game some more.

same thing happened to me the first time...then a round of "we're down for maintenance" message and now it works fine. i lost a level-3 bag, but got a level-4 bag!

Wee! Ah, the joys of being on the west coast. I knew if I waited the servers would reach some sort of responsiveness hahaha.

Worked for me too, just got mine.

And a word to fellow wooters: the game only goes to level 4, and resets at level 1. However this actually counts as 5, level 2 is now 6, and so on.

Bedtime...not wasting any more time on a poorly programmed game.

Yeah Baby! Got a LVL. 4 Big o' Cosmos!

Wow. You're pretty dense lol

Nice April Fools joke, I've come to the conclusion it's about impossible to win because you have to get to level 4 and lo and be hold, something gets in my way and the up/down arrows don't move. Nice little rig.

I too got to level 4 and no purchase option. Went to continue on to level 5 but the game crashed. I guess my computer couldn't handle snails in space. Oh well. Way to go woot...Nothing like pranking your loyal customers. That really takes BOCs - B---- of Chromium. But how can I stay mad...I'll be back for more abuse come the next random crap! It's just so hard leaving knowing that there is still unclaimed crap on the table.

You win again random game generator!! http://i.imgur.com/ORsjt.png

I'm going to have to agree that this is a farce. No more wooting for me, Im going to stick with deal a day were they actually want your money.

i keep getting double obstacles. no bueno.

I like this idea as a way to prevent scripters from hording all the bags, although it does need a few improvements.

The most obvious and hardest is somehow keeping the servers alive. Level 5 the first time I played (while at level 1) and then Level 4 (while at Level 3) and both times, the server had crapped out from underneath me. That's... just great.

The second is the impossible scenarios a few people have mentioned. You get both lanes blocked, you can't win. I once got that on my very first obstacle. A little creative coding should hopefully be able to prevent those.

wow, no matter how far I get, i run into two obstacles at the same time with nowhere to go.

edit: actually i dont see the woot bar decreasing, i'm beginning to think there is no way to win. ha ha very funny

P.S. FWIW, I finished level 4 with a score of 59,233. Looks sucky compared to the leader board, but it got me a bag!!!! :-)

*Does the happy Big o' Cosmos dance*

I got a bag and you didn't....nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!!!!!

(I cannot BELIEVE I sat here and played that thing for an hour and a half, an now have to get up in 3 hrs to go to work!)

I can't even get past level 2 now because of that...

I keep trying...and get nothing...dammit, woot, you're breaking my heart here.

After trying time and time again, running into the problem with having a moving and a stationary blocker in both lanes, I finally get past level 3 and all the way to the 10th level (630000 points or so)! So a Big o' Cosmos for me

Edit: Top Score baby, woohoo! (perhaps a letter is in my future?....please?)

Finally landed mine. I have been trying since Level 1 crap.

Finally got into the game. Beat the required level, and purchased my Big o' Cosmos sucessfully. Pretty stoked!

Booyah!!
