Daily Dare 2018

[Daze]

Well, the board theory was wrong for the change in game today. But all good here. I also done a little better than doubling my score. I think I really only played it on this account to get all the games played.

I really love the wearables!! A nice change.

6020 in Gopparoko in my second game of the day. I actually looked up and had 6004 as I clicked my last combo. Phew. Ended the game because my arm is freaking tired. Long game. Anyway, another 0.333% over AAA's score! Had I stopped it before that finally click, I would be in first place with 0.0667%, but I didn't, so I'm not.

Time for the gym. I'll have to tackle today's later. My "high score" is 551, but that was with a ton of lag. Hopefully I can avoid the lag. Aim up towards a flower (so you're not stuck too long immobile), near an edge, and try to time it to get the first or last fly instead of the middle. And try not to miss! You can eat bees, but if you miss, you'll get stung...

New high score, was pretty easy. Tally ho.

I'm hoping they replace Eliv Thade. It's just so tedious, and I don't need that right now.

[Siniri]

Phew. No lag. Managed first game with a 1212.

Spellseeker today. No problems with this one, I quite like this game.

[Pickles]

Easy one. Wish it'd been tomorrow. Hoping the next two days aren't games that have trouble with older machines, cause I'm going to be stuck doing them on my laptop.

[Siniri]

Easy teasy lemon squeezy. I wish the guides would tell you how many tiles you need for each level, though - I'd forgotten, and it would have been a lot faster had I remembered.

My grid still shows today as Eliv Thade. Thankfully, it is Spellseeker. One of my faves. I tried a different strategy today of shuffling a few times at the start of each level to force gold tiles. Not worth it. Still beat AAA, but had poison tiles too close to the bottom on early levels, but did not get close to my high score.

Easy teasy lemon squeezy. I wish the guides would tell you how many tiles you need for each level, though - I'd forgotten, and it would have been a lot faster had I remembered.

These are the levels/tiles objective:

Level 2	20 tiles
Level 3	30 tiles
Level 4	10 tiles

Level 9	30 tiles
Level 10	20 tiles
Level 11	30 tiles
Level 12	40 tiles
Level 13	30 tiles
Level 14	40 tiles
Level 15	50 tiles

Caves and Corridors today. Double Dare. AAA is 1000. My highscore 1001.

This may take me awhile.

[Siniri]

My high score is 571. Even when I follow a guide, I can't complete levels fast enough to unlock later ones. Not quite sure what to do. Can you earn additional points by repeating a level? Guess I should actually read a guide.

[Blue]

I did not remember this game until I opened it for gameplay. Then I remembered that it is a lot like Donkey Kong Jr. back in the day. It is a tricky game. Time to read a few guides to increase my high score of 887.

P.S. My Grid now properly shows Spellseeker for Day 18.

[Siniri]

The JN guide was actually quite good. I kept falling through the platforms due to lag on level 3. Sometimes the extra life code would give me two extra lives. Once I kind of slowed down and tried not to die, I was able to get through level 7 with lots of lives and 999 points. I used the freetime and nomoreboulders codes right away on level 8, and then just took my time on that level to make sure I wasn't going to have to play again!

[Blue]

After playing this game for longer than desired, I finally realized a trick to it. Play it until you die, then "continue game" each and every time, restarting at that level and pressing forward every time. After doing this multiple times, you will eventually unlock all of the levels. I only went to level 11. While your score restarts at zero each "continue game", you do earn full points for each level played, including any prior levels. This means that you can effectively choose which levels you want to play. Say, for instance, that you prefer levels 1, 4, 5, 7 and 10. You can play these levels only to achieve the needed score without needing to play the "awful" levels such as 3 and 8. (Please note that I made up all of these level numbers)

[Pickles]

Followed JN's guide and quit after level 7 with a 1009. Considering my previous high score was like, 200, because I hate hate hate this game...yeah. Glad it's done.

[Blue]

I hate hate hate this game...yeah... Glad it's done.

I dislike Caves and Corridors much less than I dislike Garrooppookkkooo and truly despise Zurroball. I would dislike Caves and Corridors less if the character timing was not so buggy and must be exact precise. It is doubly irritating that you cannot duck under darts or jump over boulders. Also glad it is done.

ETA: Just looked ahead for tomorrow...

Day 20: Volcano Run II
Year 1: AAA: 750 / Abigail: 200
Year 2: AAA: 1200 / Abigail: 150

Oh crap. My high is 554.

AAA all the way so far. Abi tomorrow? Maybe
