Daily Dare 2009

[Siniri]

Score 1475. After about 50 plays today. Did not register. Grrrrr.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words - that screenshot described exactly what I was trying to say Thanks Daze

[Siniri]

Finally. It took another 6 games (at least) to get over 1250 again -- and then I got a 1641.

ETA: My strategy is pretty much the same as Daze's.

[butterflygirl]

That's pretty much what I did too. The real trick is in getting the timing down so your button presses actually count.

Though I must say that I tried a few different racers and noticed absolutely no difference in speed...

Day 17 - Wheeler's Wild Ride
AAA - 400
Prize: Crate of Spilt Coconuts


Abi - 40
Prize: Wheeler and Bike Plushie


Lulu - 50
Prize: Wheelers Coconut Bike



Very easy game - long and boring to get a trophy.


VERY BIG TIP:

At the start of the game, stay on top of the hill and just do nose wheelies (by pressing the right arrow key) a 1 second wheelie is worth 5 points, a 2 second wheelie is worth 10, a 3 second is worth 15 and a 5 second wheelie is worth 20.

You will move backwards but you everytime you put the wheel down you move forward.

Keep an eye on the timer - when you get down to about 4 seconds, deliberately fall over and crash. You only lose 1 coconut and the level restarts. REPEAT.

If you let the timer run out, you will lose almost all your coconuts.

Heh, this is way easy.

To make things even easier, hit spacebar to turn around, and then push left to do a nose wheelie. The wall will stop you from moving and makes it easier to maintain the wheelie. Also, it'll be a lot faster taking a spill since you can just smash your face into the wall instead of having to tip all the way over.

*imagines Wheeler's face repeatedly smashed into the wall* Lovely mental image.


Beat AAA easily, and decided to keep going. Had a little over 5k when I was done.

Thanks for the help guys.
Wheeler's ride has been defeated - and I thought it'd be a lot harder.
I bet TNT are cooking up something evil for the Double Dare

Edit: Lulu's bike is kinda cute I might grab one of those.

Edit 2: Although I might wait until the second-to-last day to see what other lulu prizes are available since I have about 10 tickets (kindly donated from hoopy neopeople).

[Katbody10]

Yes! THANK YOU so much for the easy-peasey tips! I was practicing yesterday and was devasted that I was only getting a score of 20-90. I thought for sure I was done for! But PPT and all you wonderful people helped me! Love you guys!

Good Luck to everyone!

Tomorrow is Mynci Beach Volleyball. I've been told that people consider it a hard game, but I don't. Anyway, if you're one of those folks, take the time to practice today. You won't regret it.

I despise MBV. I would rather chew a lightbulb than have to play that game for any reason.

To be fair, I felt the same way about Wheeler today...

*hands out some lightbulbs and gets ready to bite down*

Edit: I just went and played a bit. I guess it depends on how high a score AAA wants.

[Daze]

Well, I am back at work today (had 3 days off) so I hope the score isn't too demanding, otherwise I will just not have to the time to try for it.

Hmm, my highscore for MBV is 185. May have to chew lightbulbs as well.

[varii]

MBV is not really a game I can practice for. Either I am good for a level or I suck all together. I seem to hit a point wall at 200 but could probably press on for 400. I hope AAA's score isn't much higher than that. This is one game I've always accepted I'll never get the avatar for, I hope it doesn't ruin my AAA streak. :/

[weirdguy]

I believe they base the scores off the average of some guy they yanked out of marketing and forced to play their half rate games all day long.

EDIT: 250? Looks like Jim didn't make it past the third level.
