Daily Dare [Split 1]

I hate sophie's stew. My highscore is 340 and that is after practicing all afternoon. If I don't get 400 soon I feel like my brain is going to explode to the right. :/

[Pickles]

Anyone want to tell me what the lil neovision thing said. I hate neovision and cannot see it because i have DIAL UP! So recap for the NV impaired?

From the Story page, which is basically text of the video:

Daily Dare: Story
Abigail pushed the buttons of her controller like a robot, only feigning to play. She knew there were other Neopians out there... all trying to help her and her brother. She whispered under her breath, "Thanks for your help. Keep up the good--" At that moment, a dark shadow fell over her and she instantly silenced herself. Their captor was checking on them again. Abigail's face fell and she returned her attention back to the screen.

siniri and pickles, I love and loathe you both. Love, right now, is the overriding emotion, so congratulations on that.

Thanks so much.

Aww... I really hope you're able to make it before the end of the month!

[Rubywinged]

thanks i looked way earlier after seeing something on JN about it and nothing was there. But when the news ONLY linked to the neovision thing i thought they didnt update it on the 'story' page.

I really don't like this push for neovision.... I mean heck i have to wait for advent calender things to load. I know there has to be others who are on dial up why are we being forgotten by tnt?

Hey, I still haven't gotten it either. And I literally have a blister from playing it so much over the last few days (spring break). Pickles's hints shot my high score up by 150 points; I hope they work for you, too. Now I just have to get the last 70 or so points. But that'll wait for tomorrow.

I've gotten a wide range of scores (in only 3 plays where I kept track) on the later levels, so use my guide as a very rough estimate only. But I think if you're not over 300 by round 9, you may as well start over. (Or at least I should.) I hope that AAA's prize is a Kiko-shaped dart board, with the evil game's programmer's face as the bullseye.

Because that's the general push on the internet these days. Same goes for slower computers and graphics cards. It's really rather irritating if you ask me. We've only just gotten higher speed internet and up until then, even loading regular pages was a chore because of all the flash ads... I think that all web designers and companies should have at least one computer on a slow connection and that is the one they have to upload the site stuff on. If they don't have the patience to upload it, why should we have the patience to wait for it to load?

You know.... I got 6100 the first time I played this game, and even then, I only ended the game by clicking the 'end game' button.....

(I chose easy)

[munduses]

Well AT LAST something other than a stupid wearable! Yay for books.

Got 5052 on my second try. A very time-consuming but easy game.

[alicekitty]

1st try 5104 beat AAA and got a book

[Siniri]

I only got ~4200 points the first try (on hard mode), so I looked up Pinkflamingonewsgirl's guide here at PPT. Nothing I didn't know, but it made me decide to play on easy mode once to figure out exactly how to get those 6-block combos. And I got 5364 playing on easy! It could have been more, but I didn't care to rush once I'd beaten the score. So if you're having difficulties, easy mode might be better than medium or hard mode. (Thanks PFNG!)

ETA: Today's KM2 update: Top score of 660; my wrist is killing me. What stinks is that now my top score for each round adds up to 724, but it seems impossible to get the max for every single round -- some boards are just harder than others. Only 40 points to go, but it still seems so far away. And after that, I have to boost my Itchy Invasion score another 200 points. At least we've had a spate of easy ones lately, so I can focus on these two hard ones. Here's an update with the max score I've gotten on each round of KM2, for those still trying (remember, these were not all in the same game):

Round-----Time Left
1-----------8
2-----------12
3-----------16
4-----------16
5-----------19
6-----------35
7-----------48
8-----------45
9-----------54
10-----------68
11-----------62
12-----------80
13-----------97
14-----------24
Total 724 <-- I wish these were all in the same game!

[Rakumel]

I've needed these easier challenges the past couple of days...work has been especially hectic lately. Getting mildly sick hasn't helped my mood any.

Anyway, it took me a little longer on Easy to get the 5000+ score needed for today, but got it nonetheless. Huzzah!

No problem. I love that game. It is very time consuming, though. I wish I could get a high score, though...

*dreams*

[Rubywinged]

it took me a few tries to get todays score but once i came here and remembered playing on easy mode while taking more time is easier to actually get a higher score on I was all set

[metalmario]

I'm glad the last two days have been relatively easy, I had to be away from my computer for two days and just caught up on them just now within an hour (most of that was Goparokko, jeeze that one takes forever). For Sophie's Stew I tried a bunch of times using the hungrymeowclops cheat, and getting 380s, then when I tried to use it on my last try I must have typoed because it didn't work. I didn't get my extra life and got 438, ironic haha.

I still have 4 AAAs to catch up on, not looking so good. :/

I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get a wearable from Goparokko, I wanted something islandy. XD

The last few games have been easy for me. Except Ugga Smash was a bit of a challenge because I kept getting hit by the Grarrl when I was so close. But I will forever hate that game for replacing my precious Bumper Cars.
