Daily Dare [Split 5]

[MagicalMystery]

A quick question: I've completed all the challenges on the day they were realesed, but claimed two prizes after a couple of days due to a bug: does that mean I'm in for the Uberriffic or only Spiffastic?

Hopefully Uberiffic... since it says that you've 'Won' next to the little Present before you claim your prize, in theory you've beaten that challenge and therefore it shouldn't matter whether or not you claimed your prize a day late or whatever. Hopefully. ...Because I've done that too. -prods- They'll be a lot of angry messages to the Editorial if that isn't the case... I know I didn't claim one of my Prizes until a day later because it said that the Prize would be there 'later today' and that makes it TNT's fault. XP Meh. I'm bitter over that annoying Dungeon Dash game. -prods irritatedly- Twas a miracle I made it through. I don't know how many hours I spent playing it yesterday... I lost count. I am so not a gamer. I'm not sure over Uberrifc; just a bit of twisted logic that popped into my head.

Uberiffic or Spifftastic... how do you claim your prize? I've never managed to do this before. ...And has anyone managed to claim the Roothless prize yet? I tried last night but wasn't able to and didn't bother trying to claim it earlier this afternoon incase I got glitched out of something or other. >.<

Final Score: AAA - 11; Abigail - 21... I guess it did matter who you picked in Dungeon Dash. O.o Or did I miss read the scores? Meh. I used Abigail. -prods-

[Valrigard]

Does anyone know how to beat the last level? I don't understand which item I'm supposed to use for each hazard.

[metalmario]

YES! YES! YES! YES! I did it! With 2 lives left, none lost in level 5!! And I beat MvF which means I've earned my Megasuperb officially now!!!! *cartwheel* I'm so happeeeeeeeeee~
And no, I can't collect my Dungeon Dash prize yet. But I don't care! DOOOOOOOONE~~~

*joins the cheering section*

Edit: Valrigard: use the shield for skieths and helmet for Kougras. I liked what someone else said, green with green and orange with orange. Bubble through the spikes, but keep pressing it until you're over em.

Razumel, that's ridiculous that the game's not Mac/Unix-compatible. I hope you can borrow someone's PC to try to get a score in sometime today (or that they fix the issue ASAP). They really should give you guys an extra day to submit scores if they can do it fairly. And thanks for the cookies -- soon I'll be as slow as AAA (I think it's funny that the out-of-shape computer-obsessed kid is slower and harder to roll up hill -- just like he'd be in real life).

I've now managed my first three tries to get through ICM (relatively) cleanly -- why was it so hard yesterday? Now if I could stop hitting the shovel instead of the bubble when I get to the SS level, I'd be all set! Of course, I have to leave for school soon, so I won't get to try again until later. I hope I can beat AAA before midnight EST (and still have time to do my HW for tomorrow!).

Thanks, cybertrini, for confirming how to use the bubbles on the spikes -- I guess my timing was off when I died (though the bubble was visible -- I swear they don't get activated until a split second until after they actually appear).

I doubt they could kick people out for not claiming the prize on the day - especially since, like Magical Mystery mentioned, they disabled it when the AOTGD glitch happened. I came home, played Stowaway Slight that night, and wasn't able to collect the prize until the next day. I'm certain that many other people ran into that same situation.
My guess is, that they keep track based on the date/time that you actually beat the challenge, since that's when the link to get your prize becomes active.

Uberiffic or Spifftastic... how do you claim your prize? I've never managed to do this before. ...And has anyone managed to claim the Roothless prize yet? I tried last night but wasn't able to and didn't bother trying to claim it earlier this afternoon incase I got glitched out of something or other. >.<

All "final" prizes will be announced in the news (possibly later this week - it was on the 4th last year), and there'll likely be a link we can click on to access it. (I think last year, it ended up being either the Daily Dare page itself, or a link from the Daily Dare page).
So, at the moment, we hafta wait until they put 'em up...just like any other plot...except there likely won't be a "prize shop."

Edit:

Awesome!!! Congrats!!

I've left all of my prizes unclaimed thus far. At first it was because I had more than 100 items in my inventory and didn't wanna take the prizes until I could Quick Stock=> Safety Deposit Box them, and then because I had them unclaimed I just left them all that way. [doe-eyed cartoon rodent voice] It looks pretty! (lol)

I guess I should claim them today, although I know that last year I left some unclaimed until like 2 days after the end and they were still there.

32/32 for megasuperb! I'm really happy with that; I spent way too much time on KMII and Gummy Dice. Gummy Dice was especially hard on my poor brain, I kept seeing it every time I closed my eyes and tried to sleep...lol

Meepit vs Feepit used to be one of the games I used to try for a trophy on (never got it) so I had no problem beating AAA's score. By the way, if anyone is having any trouble with it, just stick with combos (zxzx or xzxz) and you'll have his score near the beginning of the 5th stage. Or on an earlier one if you feel like getting his health down and losing on purpose on 2 rounds each stage (I didn't bother with it for this challenge, but you would need to for a highscore...).

If you want to get the avatar as well as beat him, you need to wear the opponent down to almost nothing, and then lose. Do that for two rounds each level and win the other three rounds. You will definately have the 3k by the end of the 5th level.

Ah, I forgot about the avatar...lol It's been so long since I got it, and I don't think I ever knew the actual score. Yes, the lose twice, win thrice method works perfectly for getting over 3k. *nods*

I hate this game. I have now decided there is absolutely NO rhyme or reason to how you should block the flying scoops. At chest level, sometimes the shield works, and sometimes it doesn't. At foot level, sometimes the shield works, and sometimes it doesn't. At head level, sometimes the helmet works, and sometimes it doesn't -- and this is all while running on a flat plane, no jumping. Don't even get me started on how it acts when I jump (normal or super jump) -- because I gave up jumping and now just run or stand still when the cones are coming. If I tried to stand still for every single cone, I'd get caught from behind. I'm just about to give up, honestly. I got my MegaSuperb (I'm taking TNT at their word that DD is for "extra" prizes), and this just isn't fun anymore. Besides, I think I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome, and there are way more fun things I could be doing -- my income taxes or financial aid application, for example. Or sticking my finger in the electric socket.

I finally made it through the darn icecream level and the dang bad guy was on my butt...... and as soon as he shows up there is no way to out run him or anything that's STUPID! is the castaway the last level atleast?

I could have written every single word of this, except that I'm getting Uberrific. I have played DD about a hundred times now, on three different machines and two different browsers, and I have yet to get past the stupid ICM level. Not fun at all. *grump*

Yes, thank goodness, it is the 5th and final level.

[Siniri]

I'm really stubborn, so I've actually been playing non-stop since I wrote that rant. The bad guy was on my tail, there was a spike in front of me, and I had no idea how many lives I had when suddenly the game was over -- with a score of 5000! It was Abigail, but I sent it because there was no way I'd play again with AAA. But it says "You have defeated AAA 32 times!" Woot! Megasuperb, for sure!

FOR THE ICM LEVEL: After about 500 plays, I finally figured out a way around the can't-super-jump-without-dying/can't-wait-without-getting-caught-from-behind conundrum. I realized that I could head-butt a cone (with helmet on, of course) using a normal jump -- this makes the cone disappear right away so you can do the super-jump. This was probably obvious to a lot of people, but once I figured that out, I was able to win the whole thing in less than an hour. So I hope this hint helps the people stuck on the ICM level. My strategy for ICM: rush through the level, but try to meet cones semi-still (either by headbutting as above, or running into them with the shield or helmet when you're on a flat surface, no jumping).

[Pickles]

Yeah!!! For both Siniri and butterflygirl!

And Siniri, that is an EXCELLENT tip about the head-butting! It's not that obvious, either - I didn't think about it at all yesterday when I was working on it, and it sure would've helped me.
