Wow, I completely forgot about all the logistics that go into this as I play the game. I started playing this game when it first came out, and I'd play it three times a day because the NP ratio was 1:1. ;)

The smallest blobs fill one notch in the vat's meter. Similarly, dropping those blobs outside a vat fills the waste meter the least.

There are slightly larger blobs for 2 and 3 notches. And the typical big one fills 6(?) notches.

Missing the Angel blob wastes the most though, so if it's going fast I wouldn't worry about it. Dropping it in a full one doesn't waste anything though. :)

I haven't seen it since I started playing again, but there was a huge drooling blob, and I have no clue how much that filled. I'm pretty sure that always wasted some, but filled it up from empty?

okamotosan18, so I assume the bigger blobs are better? But overflow in any one color is still a problem? That seems to be my problem. Basically a combination of the aiming and time factor. Which is the point of the game. Sigh. I really didn't think it would be as bad as this. I already missed out on the Uberiffic prize because I simply forgot (was busy with 'real life' things past one midnight.) Almost makes me feel as if I have a 'real life' lol. Other than that, I feel so lame I am not Uberiffic. :P

EDIT: After almost 10 games, hit a 140 (at least I am improving my personal score: 129, 133, 140). Still don't get what I am doing 'so' wrong.

OMG managed a 282 from everyone's help! Thank you! I hoped I would not have to spend all night becoming frustrated from this game. Yay! :hug:

Basically I just created priorities. (Yes as an autist I am bad at it, lol.) Forget time (we are usually this way anyhow, heh) and focus on the color being created. Forget the Grundo unless he annoyingly pops into your vision and you're so mad you want to hit him. But, avoid the angry blobs. (And, yes, soap helps.)

Then timing and aim become easy. Just forget time; you're in Teh Zone. ;)

I still feel like I had many bad games in a row, and really don't know what I did different. Perhaps practice and simple odds allowed me to get > 200. (I have a severe lack of patience, so any game I hate/am not good at, if I have to play more than like 2-3 times to 'learn' it's frustrating to me.) :\

Either way I am glad that is over with! Now my only fears are Ugga Smash and Volcano Run. Or whatever sponsor game TNT throws at US.

*Hugs* Toy Speaker. *Listens to Kreludorian trance all night.* :oops:

EDIT: It's times like these that I admire the psychology put into all of this. With Neopets' roots in scientology, don't bet they aren't still 'measuring' us. With hundreds of games, why does one choose one game over another? What is it about making and playing games that is so challenging to us? Some genius must make one then we must find it interesting and 'palatable' and if it is not to our taste, we reject this flavor. But it is simply brain learning pathways. What makes me competant at Space Fungus and Petpet Cannonball and mildly competant at Escape to Kreludor and Ultimate Bullseye and suck at basically any other action game? Puzzles are a really fine line, as some can be very abstract. Whenever I am 'stuck' I find it best to try to beat my own score rather than someone else's. Yet when I prevail, the sky is the limit. Or patience.

(I still drool at the luck/chance apparently involved in Lab Jellies or Revel Roundup.)

That better not be a battledome weapon. I had to play the stupid Mimzy game instead and got a toy.

It says it's defense magic.

Sorry you got stuck with the Mimzy thing :(

I don't like the way TNT is having the American players play the Mimzy games, while other Neopians play the normal games. It just doesn't seem right to me. We should all be playing the same games, with the same prizes...

Bleh. Stupid Mimzy.

There's no reason you can't beat AAA at this game(I feel like both sponsor games stomp on the idea that AAA is some kind of "ultimate" gamer, if he's this easy to beat). If you're having trouble, remember that you don't have to sort every single toy on the screen. If you can't tell whether it's one of the Mimzy thingies or a toy(especially if it's the Mimzy thing itself), just let it go, and you won't lose points.
