Badges for Kongregate

I don't know Kongregate's system for spotlighting games, but it works. Also, to the main point of this thread, many games on Kongregate have badges worth Kongregate points. If you were able to incorporate a series of easy, medium, hard and impossible badges I think it would increase the number of players. As far as retention goes, I don't know. I can tell you for me all it took was an introduction and it's now the only game I play on Kongregate.

I wasn't even aware that Afterwind was playable on Kongregate, and I play on both sites fairly often

But knowing this, I agree. A lot of people play specifically for badges on there, and if there were badges for, say, earning lots of the medals (An extremely time-consuming process), it would keep a lot of players going until they were addicted. For example earning all of the "Bronze" medals would be about medium, earning all of the silver would be about hard, and earning all gold would definitely fit into the "impossible" badge category.

Yeah this was in a thread before but the game creator doesn't make the badges I think they have some admins there that do that.

Actually you have to implement the API into your game for most games, I've worked with developing teams on kongregate before as a rudimentary artwork director. I don't know if it's the same for multiplayer games, but games that are hosted on Kongregate require you to put the API in yourself.

I hope they get added. I think it will definitely draw in new players.
