Well, you should probably complete the challenges in whatever way you need to, since that's the only way they're going to give you any sort of prize.

There is only 1 game left. The Daily Dare finishes at Midnight 31st.

Time is the deciding factor here. Do you have time to finish all games if you challenge AAA?

You can send scores up until 11.59 (restart any game after 11.40), to still try for the Mega trophy, but in reality if the games are giving you problems, better to challenge Abi and know that you will get a trophy at the end of it.

From experience, leaving everything to the last minute is not a good idea (computer problems, internet problems, real life etc can all stop you from finishing if you don't have enough time).

Day 30 has had a very easy challenge, Crisis courier with AAA at 3500. My high score was above 8000, so easy.

Beaten AAA on everything except ice-cream.
I swear I'll kill that Chia.

Crisis Courier is pretty easy - I like to play it for an easy 1000np. Don't forget: typing in "kingaltador" will get you an extra life, which comes in handy if you accidentally get picked off.

Does it make a difference if I get all of AAA's except Ice-cream machine, and then get Abi's score on that, to the trophy/prize I get?

Re: Daily Dare 2009

Yes.

Your trophy is dependent on two factors:
a) did you defeat each game on release day?
b) did you challenge AAA, or challenge Abi?

If you defeat aaa on release day for each game, you get the top prize.
If you defeat aaa on each game, you get the second prize.
If you defeat aaa OR abi on release day, you get the third prize
If you defeat aaa OR abi on each game, you get the fourth prize.

The zeroth prize (i.e. scoretacular) can be earned by basically doing the same thing as the top prize, but accepting the double dare challenge as well.

If you do not defeat either of them on any game, you get no prize.

So it behooves you to try to defeat AAA on that game, if you've beaten him on each other game.

Well I'm not sure how much longer I can stand staring at a screen of ice-cream.
It's 12:30am here so I might sign off and see if I can get anything tomorrow morning.

Only Freaky Factory left to do for AAA now >.< Highest so far is 750ish... bleh. Thanks to all the people that posted tips for the other games btw :)

Edit: a good 9 hours after I started today, I've done it xD And to cap it off, when I put the prize in my SDB:
Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'SDB Pack Rat' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

Next year can go jump in a river though lol.

Still trying on Ice Cream :(
I don't have any ticket packs either - but I'd like to thank those people who did gift me a couple of the 5-ticket packs earlier.

How close are you on ice cream? My tips would be:
-Play on the biggest size, obv use a mouse not touchpad etc.
-Try to stay still as much as possible, you get a feel for the boundaries between scoops firing, don't move until you have to, less chance of making a mistake that way.
-I tend to prioritize the "make you smaller" powerups over just about everything. Remember that picking up anything else makes you normal size again, bonuses, speed changes and extra lives inc.
-In the early levels its fine to go out of your way to get cherry bonuses etc, but as it gets faster you're better off ignoring them and just staying alive.
-Extra lives should only be grabbed if you arent putting yourself at risk. If you are small then picking up the life makes you normal size, so harder to stay alive, not really worth it in later levels since being small is worth more than an extra life but being bigger.
-Someone mentionned earlier, if a slow down pops up towards the end of a level (keep track with the x / y counter at the bottom) grab it to maximise the number of extra scoops that finish the level. Not worth it in the later levels though, since there are so many scoops that you tend to get an impenetrable wall of ice cream :P

If i think of anything else I'll post. I'll be around for another hour or so, so let me know how its going / any questions i'll try n help :) Good luck ^^
