Daily Dare [Split 2]

[Pickles]

I really don't think it's an existing character at all, like Balthazar or Magax...unless it's some kind of joke. What I'm more curious about is why anyone would kidnap a couple of kids and force them to play video games. My personal theory is that Abigail set this up somehow, in order to scare her brother into spending more time outdoors.

That would be kinda dark, though, the sister having her brother kidnapped? I mean, the "plot" of it is dark already. I doubt this is the case, though, cause Abi wouldn't be encouraging us to keep beating him if it were.

And whew. 509. I could NOT get through level 6, even with the guide. Apparently, I cannot get the timing right on the circles. Ah, well. I finally lucked out that it kept giving me bonuses close to the start that I *was* able to get, and it nudged me over. Ugh. I never want to see that game again!
But! 19/19!

And thanks, Daze!

3/20 Snowball fight

AAA: 600 points: Parachuting for Polarchucks


Abigail: 100 points: Terror Mountain Snowglobe

600 is a pretty easy score, got it on my first try. I hate the later levels though when everything is moving so fast you end up hitting faeries all the time.

That was quite easy got it on my second try (hadn't played in a while) I agree that the later levels are hard but, oh well, on the bright side got AAA and a cute little book.

Woo! I love Snowball fight! One of the ones that I can get pieces off in the WC with no problem! I remember when it was still a sponsor game for Elf, and if you hit Santa he said something really odd - I think it was "What in the name of Sam Hill...." - and we'd get a kick out of hitting him just to make him say it... {gets all nostalgic}
And a book for it, even! (Though that Snowglobe is pretty cool, as it actually snows! It's about time they made one like that!)

Tips for anyone who might need them:
This game is all about patience. Every time you shoot off 10 snowballs, you lose one of your "big" snowballs. However, shortly *after* you start digging into your next set of ten, a happy Polarchuck will start parachuting down. WAIT for him before going after anyone else, and nab him for an extra 10 snowballs. Repeat this procedure throughout the game: lob off snowballs until you start digging into your second big one, then nab a Polarchuck. This will keep you from running out of shots, and should be possible to do at least up until you get to the 500 mark with semi-ease. (It can be done after that, but for this score, it's not necessary). At that point, you should be able to score enough points to bump yourself over the 600 point mark.
Once things start going faster, I tend to stick to one side of the screen (usually the left, I don't know why), and only shoot at things (including Polarchucks) that come on that side of the screen. This keeps you from having to track the whole screen, and you don't wear yourself out from jumping back and forth continuously.

Oh, and typing in "snowghettiandmeatball" give you an extra "big" snowball - 10 more shots.

Thankyou Pickles

I was close to the score but was wondering how to make my snowballs last. The method you posted is brilliant in being so simple but very effective.

Also to add to this:

Hitting the pets give 10 for a face shot and 5 for side shot.

Meepit gives 20 for a face and 10 for a side shot.

When it is getting fast and frantic, I decided to only try for the meepit to get the bigger scores.

I also found TPOSG and he is worth 50 to hit.

[metalmario]

Blahhh I hate this game, I suck at judging where to click for the polarchuck. I'm glad it was a semi-small score. My previous high was only 580 from last year, finally got 620 just now. The snowghetti thing saved me

[munduses]

Didn't like this game. Even so, it wasn't very difficult to get over 600, especially after I read Pickles' advice. Thanks!

And yay for books.

Does anyone else have a problem with the game windows not loading properly? They load, but they're too narrow, and roughly the right 1/4 of the screen is cut off...

I'm using firefox *shrug*. It's a problem that crops up periodically, and I blame Neopets for it.

[metalmario]

Woooooo I got 722 on Kiko Match! Which is weird because my highest before that was only like 687 or something, but I'm perfectly ok with jumping up by that much ^_^ I guess I got a lot of side-by-side matches in the last couple rounds which helped. Finally caught up for Megasuperb. Finally. And just in time for the rerun of last week's Lost! lol. *happeee* =D

Edit: Okay so there was no rerun of Lost, wth.

vvvv Yeah Do you need more tips for those two games or just time? I'm sure we PPT could collectively bombard you with hints and guides and whatnot. If it's more about finding the time I know how you feel... I REALLY wanted to finish KM today because I have 4 tests, a quiz, a lab, and two online homeworks all next week... couldn't even go home for Easter weekend. School is gross.

Yay, metalmario! Doesn't it feel great? I think I actually dreamed about KM2 last night, though I haven't played since I beat it -- Kikos are almost as bad as Meepits for me now...

I've still got to get Kass Basher (I always type that "Kash Basher" now) and Itchy Invasion for Megasuperb, but I had a midterm and a paper due today, another midterm tomorrow, and two take-home midterms due next Tuesday and next Thursday -- sometimes grad school sucks. Of course, if I hadn't been playing KM2 so much last week during spring break, I might have gotten more schoolwork done. I hope that I'll have time to beat the necessary games during the last few days of March after the madness subsides -- I have at least been able to beat the newest games as they've come out.

A new part of the story has been released, for those of you following it:

Abigail hoped that she didn't look nearly as grubby as her brother did, but that was just wishful thinking. After spending so long in the dungeon, their clothes were filthy with sweat and body odor. Behind them, a rather wicked and most unpleasant Wocky named Scram continued to stand guard, his face glaring intensely as Abigail saw him out of the corner of her eye.

The young Aisha stole another quick glance at Scram and cocked an eyebrow when she noticed he was playing rock, paper, scissor... against himself. She didn't have much time to dwell on the insanity of it all, though, as above her a pair of torches wooshed to life. The dark shadow of the one holding them hostage appeared on a balcony high above them.

All he said was, "Carry on."

If you watch the video, you can see the Wocky slightly better. Other than that, reading the story's just as good as watching it.

So apparently, Scram may be the one who captured them, but he's working for someone else, who's masterminding the whole thing. Scratch my theory, big time. Poor kids. They're being held hostage by someone evil, and being guarded by someone who seems to be, by most accounts, insane. I still wanna know why he/she/it is forcing them to play all these games, though.

Piccy of Basket of Assorted Berries:

Pity it's not wearable as it's rather cute!

I agree. I'd rather have that as a wearable than the tree stump. Not that the tree stump is bad necessarily. I suppose I should just be glad we're getting any wearables again
