Yep, as TOSO posted, a double dare and insanely easy!!!



Day 21 - Snow Roller DOUBLE DARE
AAA - 2500
Prize: Snow Roller Crash Jumper

Abi - 100
Prize: Snow Roller Item Jumper

Lulu - 175
Prize: Snow Roller Sucess Jumper

No real tips here, just JUMP over everything - except the good items.

It is better to jump over good item by mistake than crash into a bad one, as every bad item will reduce your snowball. Once it is at 0% the game is over. There are enough levels for you to make 2500 even after missing (jumping over) the good items.

* Apparently there is a chance of getting a random prize in your inventory after playing the game:
Black Hole Slushie, Broken Icicle, Guide to Snow Rolling, Igloo Toy and Xampher.

Wow. They set the bar really low with the double dare, didn't they? I've never played Snow Roller before and managed to beat AAA in one try. On the other hand... yay, easy prizes!

Some people (including myself) seem to be having difficulties with this game. And not because of it's gameplay - but rather because it refuses to go to level 2. All it does, is it freezes and then goes blank ...and then, that's it. o_O

The only other tip I have is to really aim to get the black hole slushies (they look almost like empty slushie containers) because they'll enable you to get all the other powerups for a time (they sit under you until you land your jumps); if you get one early enough, sometimes you can get a cascade of them that lasts nearly a whole level. I've never been able to get more than about 1200 in one round, though, Xero. It stinks that you can't get past level 1. Have you tried a different browser?

Well, I tried a different computer.
The issue's been resolved for me, thanks. :)

However, I can't help but feel sorry for the players who can't switch computers/browsers/whatever. Especially those who've been aiming for the best possible reward all this time. In my opinion, only games that have been known to not cause problems for anyone or nearly anyone should be included into events like this. Otherwise some people are just bound to be wronged, at no fault of their own. :(

My scorecard as of today:
AAA wins: 10
Abigail wins: 8
Double Dare: 3/3

There's something cruelly funny about today's game. Maybe it's the way everything screams when you pick it up (including the Taelia doll--who knew Neopian dolls had such sophisticated noise boxes?).

Dang, I thought this was a really hard game, then someone said "just jump all the time" and yay, I barely beat AAA for the double (like, it was literally only a few points over 2500). :)

Probably won't ever play it again except for this kind of challenge, though. I prefer puzzle games by far.

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

This is one of the few ones I actually play with the sound on, just for the comedic effect. And the music's not too bad either.

I'm all but 2 for AAA. I hope there's another challenging one so I don't kick myself for settling on the first day after SHB.

Wow, despite being a game I've played once before, that was way too easy for a double dare.

My score:
AAA: 21/21 (20/21 on launch day)
DD: 2/3 (Darn that meerca chase - if only I'd known about the superhypergravitywhatever level sooner)

GAME WARNING

DO NOT use CTRL+ALT on Sutek's tomb. It is considered cheating and will probably get you iced

That has to be to easy of a game- I was playing and my 9 month old wanted to try- he got over 1000 with the bang on the keyboard (mostly space bar) method

I am waaaay behind on my Daily Dare challenges. Time to get cracking was catching up.

But how can they tell?

I keep seeing it mentioned on the DD boards as a trick for people not good at the game to use, and then other people say it's cheating, but it looks like a regular Flash Player function to me, since it doesn't require any special programs or anything, and all it's doing is acting like a "repeat previous input."

Piper Panic is ridiculously easy. The trick is to aim for all of the headdresses you can possibly get. Don't worry about gems. The other thing to do is try to finish every level in a "star basket." A series of them will net you even more points.
