  • Attack of the Gummy Dice Guide by Saan

    So your game keeps ending with embarrassingly low scores and your screen full of gummy splats. Frustrating. Maybe this will help.

    – First of all, go to the page the Neopets crew wrote out with instructions: they help and it saves you the time of just going about ramming random keys in the hopes of getting a decent score.

    – While this game is quite hard because you have to think in three dimensions, it’s easier if you go at it systematically. The more cubes that go and stay away, the easier it gets.

    – If you plan on removing blocks starting from a certain point, pick the bottom angle of the bottom grid: if the cubes there are gone, there’s nothing obstructing your view from the ones behind it.

    – Try as much as you can not to squash cubes of different colors together in a great big heap. Spaces in between make for better visibility.

    – Do not heap cubes onto each other without thinking, or you’ll soon have a gummy tower collapsing onto your screen.

    – As the levels go higher, the random cubes popping up won’t come after you’ve made a move, but also as you’re thinking about making one, so (in how far this is possible for you) try to keep the same colors together. In the lower levels, under good conditions, try to always pick the same place for the same color.
