Right now (November 2006), Gotchi Crowd Patrol is one of the most popular games on Neopets – probably because you can earn tons of Neopoints from it, very easily!
The concept is pretty easy to grasp: there’s a little guy called Mametchi, and it’s up to you to find him and click on three times before time runs out. Every time you play, you’ll be presented with three scenes in which Mametchi is hidden. The scenes remain the same, but Mametchi’s location changes. The trick is to memorize the locations where Mametchi usually hides so that you can click on him quickly and earn more points. However, be careful to ONLY click on Mametchi. He is cream colored with a very distinguishing navy blue hat (I think it’s a hat, anyway, unless it’s part of his head). There are some similar-looking characters added in to throw you off, but once you learn what Mametchi looks like, it’s pretty easy to spot him. If you click on anything else, you’ll be given a “strike” – three strikes and it’s game over. Strikes will also deduct seconds from your time. Failing to find Mametchi within the time limit will also automatically end your game, regardless of which scene you are on.
