New NP Ratio = New Easy Games

[Siniri]

Since I'm trying to make 50NP/day in as little time as possible (to get the Adam Avatar on my birthday), I went through and ranked games based on time and NP that I can typically earn. I decided to try a few that didn't used to pay so well, and I've been a little surprised. For example, I stopped playing Qasalan Caper because of the bug where sometimes a level isn't doable. But now I can get 1000 NP usually by playing just the first level! It takes less than a minute a game.

Yesterday, Crisis Courier was the featured game. In the past, I'd found it jumpy and not worth the NP. Again, now I can easily get 1000NP. Word Poker only needs a score of 374 to get 1000NP -- I can usually send my score in 1-3 rounds; I know I used to routinely get over 1000 and not get 1000NP.

Are there any other games that seem ridiculously easy now?

I like Chia Bomber, it's easy enough to play and the ratio's back up, so you only need to play 4 levels or so for 1000NP.
Dubloon Disaster only needs 200 points for 1000NP now, which means collecting only 10 (of the most common) coins.
Mop n Bop is probably one of the easiest games to play (you only need the left mouse button! well, that and the shift button to upgrade), but it takes a few minutes longer to reach 1000 points.
Whack-a-kass obviously needs no mentioning.

Sponsor games are also easy money, there's a new crowd patrol game and there's a matching game which is kind of hard at first, but once you memorize the differences, it's a quick 1000NP.

As for new ratio updates, I usually check this petpage to see what the new ratios are and take my pick of (new) games from there. Takes a couple days to update though.

[Siniri]

Thanks for the info, Kenjiro. Mop n' Bop is on my list, too, but it does take more time. How often do the ratios change now?

Here are the other games on my list (these are games I'm good at/enjoy/find really easy):
Splat-a-Sloth
Pet Painter
Fashion Fever
Dar-BLAT
Bouncy Supreme
Word Poker
Qasalan Caper
Crisis Courier
Animal Genius
NC Shopping Spree
Spider Man
Cannon Shot
Apple Jacks
Mop n Bop
Imperial Exam
Hassee Bounce
Ult Bullseye 2
Evan Almighty
Eye of Storm
Kacheek Seek
Defender Trainer
Eliv Thade
Wingoball

[Siouxper]

Whack-A-Kass
Apple Jacks: Moped Madness
Dubloon Disaster
Fashion Fever
Zizzle Spotz Pet Painter

Those are the easy NP games for me

[Kenjiro]

How do you play Moped Madness? Sometimes I can finish first, but most of the time the computer is already miles away before I even get started..

Picking up the Apple Jacks pieces gives you more speed.

[Kenjiro]

Yeah, I know that, but before I get to the first piece, the computer is already halfway throough.. Sometimes, however, it doesn't have a flying start and I win with ease. I just can't figure it out.. Oh well, I'll just wait and see if it still pays out enough after the next ratio change.

[Kenjiro]

It's the 25th, and that means it's time for another round of Spin the Ratio!

a.k.a. the point/NP ratio's have changed again. This time it's for the worse, at least in my case. The games that had a decent payout last month have taken a dive again (Chia Bomber, Dubloon Disaster, Qasalan Caper to name a few), and classics like Snowmuncher got a little harder yet again.

So far, I also haven't found any games yet that give 1000NP as easy as the previously mentioned games. Anybody know which ones are the new 'income games' to play?

[neobeth]

Sutek's Tomb has really went down, its not worth playing anymore for me

[Pickles]

Ouch. Most of my favorites got harder. A few got easier though.
Ultimate Bullseye: Ratio = 30.00
Snow Wars II: Ratio = 7.15 (Talk about EASY!)
Volcano Run II: 1.56 (now do-able again for me, woot!)
Mop'n'Bop: 1.09 (got easier)
Defender Trainer: 3.23 (got easier)

Whack-a-Kass stayed pretty much the same, as well as Turmac Roll, Bouncy Supreme, Crisis Courier, Attack of the Revenge and Meerca Chase II.
Sigh. I will miss the easiness of Sutek, Snowmuncher, Dubloon and particularly Zurroball (I can still get it, but it'll take a little longer...). Ah well.

Should still be able to get to 12k in 12 minutes, though, woot! (Zurroball + Snow Wars II + Whack-a-Kass + Bouncy Supreme)

[Siniri]

Word Poker stayed about the same. You only need 400 points (actually a little less) to get 1000NP, and if you focus on getting at least 25 words in one round and then making as many 5+ letter words (or words starting with the same letter) in another round, you can often get that in 2-3 rounds.

I'm very sad about Qasalan Caper. I sent my score based on the old ratios and only got like 100NP! It's probably not worth the frustration of unsolveable levels any more.

[varii]

I'm not happy how they keep changing dubloon disaster from really low to highenough that it is unlikely I'll be able to get 1k x 3 every day. It's be so much less frustrating if they could just find some nice middle of the road ratios. :/

And UGH, goodbye Kou Jong

My favorites list now includes Bouncy Supreme, Crisis Courier, Defender Trainer, Faerie Cloud Racers, Lost in Space Fungus , Meerca Chase II, Mootix Drop, Splat-A-Sloth, Turmac Roll, Ultimate Bullseye II, Wingoball. + Adver Video and fashion fever. I might check out snow wars again too.

I hate that all my favorite puzzle/board games always stay at such low ratios.

[Lee]

I'm really glad they changed the ratio for Ultimate Bulleye II. I can make neopoints now!

[Siouxper]

Dubloon Disaster went from 5.02 down to .61 So instead of having to get 200 points, I need over 1,000 points, which takes too long

[digitel_anime_fan_20]

The snow wars ratio is ridiculous. I mean, you don't even really need to play! Just build a wall around 3-4 snowmen, and send in your score!

I like its original ration better, I think it was a 1-1 ratio. Getting 1000 points was not difficult at all, because the game itself was fairly simplistic, but it at least forced you to do a little for the points. This is just nuts.
