Needs moar levels.

Perhaps when this is all over.

Having trouble with Piper Panic?
http://www.neopets.com/~TimidJaguar has some great tips and guides.
http://www.theneoplace.net/forums/site/ ... php?p=7309 has ALL the solutions but if you take too much time orienting yourself you could lose time.

I ended up printing one map out of each level set from the second site, then putting in arrows. Then at the start of each level (before you press continue) I went through the map and wrote things like "go away from the helmet, then back to the scarab, star basket, plain basket, stay away from star basket" etc. There's no point writing left, right, up or down since the maps rotate.

Don't forget that if you die at any stage before level ten, you probably won't get over 4k.
If you have all your lives, you can get as many gems/bonuses as you can on level 10 - then make sure you die. You don't lose points when the cobrall dies so you can use your two opportunities to make as much as you can before you finish the level on your third life.

I forgot to do this and finished level 10 without dying the second time and ended up with a score of 3921.

With dying twice I beat AAA at 4514.

Good luck!

I like to hum the katamari theme song when I'm playing this.

I like to hum the Katamari theme song ALL THE TIME.

Anothe one beaten.

I used this guide for reference - I had it side by side with the game. When it got to some of the harder levels, I did run out of time, so I looked at the guide, pin-pointed where the cobrall starts, then as soon as I saw it on the game, it was easy then to follow the path.

It took me a few goes but beat the 4000 easily.

Just got another reply from TNT regarding the missing Handmade Polarchuck Costume piece. They replied they are aware of the issue and everyone will be receiving their prize!

Wonder how long this will take...

I'm usually a lurker, but I figured I would post since so many people are curious about the polarchuck costume from the other day. I just looked in my inventory and the piece was there! I don't know if they are doing it by the time you beat the game or username to get the missing prizes out. I beat snowmuncher about 20 minutes after the challenge went up and my neo username starts with p if it helps anyone. Hopefully everyone will have the missing costume piece soon. =)

Thanks guys for all the tips and being such an awesome forum. =)

Thanks to the collaborative search efforts of various people, six new upcoming Daily Dare games have been confirmed.

The info is below:

A couple of games there have me worried but since you might want to have a surprise, I've put the rest of the code in spoiler format.

I'm kind of freaking out over the Usul Suspects and Petpet plunge
If they do use the original Hasee Bounce I'll be happy because then you guys can look on PPT for the guide I wrote!

Is there actually a guide for Petpet Plunge?

Day 23
Freaky Factory

AAA - 900
Basic Paint Blob Plushies

Abi - 50
Grundo Thief Candies

Lulu - 100
Purple Paint Blob Plushie

Both Abi and Lulu's score can be achieved on the first level.


I got the avatar for this game, but it was on my old, slow computer. I am having problems even reaching 600 with the computer I have now.

[Katdragon]

Me too
I always look at my high score - I've got over 1k on that but can't get higher than 840.
Ah well, practice makes perfect.

Those of you struggling with FF, may I selfishly recommend my own game guide?

[Katbody10]

Does anyone have any tips for The Usul Suspects? I suck at that game! My high score is a pathetic 257!

@Katdragon

Petpet Plunge is a simpler game to make a guide for. There's no time limit and the shots are pretty much the same every time. There's a few video guides on YouTube, if you just search "petpet plunge".

[Katdragon]

Thanks weirdguy

Woo Hoo!! Imperial Exam was super easy! 24/24 This was too easy... the easiest game so far. I'm worried though... this is too good to be true for me. I've never been able to beat AAA at all games on launch day before. Some of these games really had me working hard for the win.
