What a bummer! :( I hope this doesn't happen this time, but my experience and guess at this point is I'll probably have to try and snag it from somewhere... doesn't look like anyone's selling yet. I'd have to get two... one for me and one for my son - who played at 6:00 a.m. this morning before heading out to school. :roll:

Sutek's Tomb

AAA - 3000 (get this and you will also get the avatar)
Abi - 100
Lulu - 450

Code: Type plzsutekcanihavemoretime to add 30 seconds to the timer (one use)
Code: Type pyramibread to display a match (multiple use)


Win against AAA or Abi, and you will get the Abigail Key Quest token as well as your prize.

* The token does not turn up in your Inventory, you need to go to your Collector's Case and click on Special to see the token.

Play on hard mode (more points) and aim for matching stuff near the bottom before you match em up top.

After you type pyramibread, you can continue to use it by hitting CTRL + ALT. If you type the other code in though, you'll have to type pyramibread in again before using the keystroke.

If you have a mute key on your keyboard, that also works. I got one of em.

For more tips like the one that Daze posted yesterday that made my wall of text useless, and stuff like upcoming games, continue to check out this page:

My all time high is 64,484... I usually play this when I have trouble falling asleep - cause it just keeps going and going and going.. I usually quit around 10,000 because I'm too tired by that time to keep playing.

I never use the codes, my time is always full on hard mode. My trick is to go for combos like three down and three across. You get more time when you go for 4 or more in a row. I like it when I get the three down and three across - which equals 5 of the same type.

You're better off finding the 3 in a row that go down rather than across - if a bomb is above it and drops at least two rows - it will clear everything above it. You can also do three bombs to make a combo. You'll last longer with the down combos over the across combos generally and finding combos of 4 or more in a row.

Try to get the power-ups, er whatever they are called to the bottom row:

The selket will clear the bottom row all the way across.
The ankh will clear the bottom row all the way down and across.
The TNT dude will clear the whole board.

You get all the points for anything you cleared with those.

Hm. Was Sutek's tomb ever meant to be opened? It seems like his door lock is never-ending, like this bottle of Mountain Dew I found.

I was so annoyed when I finished my game and got my prizes, but no avatar. What the heck, my score was high enough!


Then I remembered I already had it, from when it was new ~:> Definitely felt silly for a minute.

Sutek's Tomb is easily one of my favorite games, but I hate playing it with the touchpad on my laptop. My finger drags and slows me down, or I touch it funny and the cursor jumps. I definitely recommend playing it with a (non-buggy) mouse if you're using a laptop and having trouble getting AAA's score. (Ever since I went from a mouse to the touchpad, my score has consistently dropped by about 10k, but that might also be because I have a faster computer now, too :P)

Thanks for that :) After scoring around 2900 three times in a row (plus various other tries), I figured that I should use the pyramibread code with the Ctrl+Alt (I used to think it was the up arrow key but when that didn't work, I thought the cheat had stopped working.

I'm interested though, when you ask for more time, it says 30 seconds granted, maximum 60 seconds. Is there another cheat or something to get those extra 30 seconds?

Since my PB was over 10000 I have no idea why it took me so long to get to 3k

I finally got a score to beat AAA in today's game, after working for the last few hours and what happens when I send in the score...

You have already reached the maximum number of times you can post your score for today! Play again tomorrow

AHHHH!

It makes me so angry as I did so well and now it doesn't go through
I wish Neopets would award me the win, but I doubt they will and I will get the generic "Sorry, there is nothing we can do" message.

*My score was 6,100*

It just makes me so angry as I worked really hard, expected to get the win, and that stupid thing comes up.

That's happened to me several times. Just try reopening the game window and playing again. Eventually it'll go through (I had to send it 3 or 4 times for Faerie Cloud Racers -- so frustrating). :hug:

Yeah, but the thing is is the I played for several hours before I even got a score to beat AAA and I doubt I will get it again, lol :)

What sucks even more is I just tried again, got 2700, lost, and had the rare Phantom Orange guy tile that I couldn't get to the bottom of the screen as he was on the very right of the screen :(
