Dubloon Disaster Guide by Elvin

I am recommending going against the convention of taking out the mines in the game. In fact keep 9 mines in the map as often as you can. Destroying the mines is risky and time consuming. There is no guarantee the next time you pick up a dubloon another mine wont pop up right next to you. My strategy is this.

Keep the 9 mines in a centre mass. The assumption here is you should be quite a good player. Dive in between two mines and you would bring them closer. If there are 3 mines, stay in the centre and let them move towards you and then move away. This way you would have 3 mines quite close to each other.

Welcome to Inuyasha’s Dubloon Disaster guide for you cheaters out there! Okay, when you play this game you have to realize that only one whirlpool may appear. Type in the cheat scallywags to get it out of the way.

The goal

Ok most of you know what to do right? Well for those who have never even tried the game all you have to do is collect as many dubloons as you can without being killed by the mines. Although getting the 1k from the game may be good, most of us Neopians set our eyes on that shiny avatar… right? Well that is what I am here for. Just read through this and you will have no problem reaching that 800 point mark 😉

Dubloon Disaster Guide by purple10105

Alright so make the window fairly large and don’t touch the options of the game window.

This game is all about patience, without patience, you wont get the avatar [If that’s what your playing for(850+ to get avatar)].

To make sure you don’t hit any mines, while going for a dubloon, charge at it, so even if they spawn right in front of your path, you go right over them.

If they are in the corner, go into the corner and charge outwards.

After having 2 mines on the board, stop and think. If they are far a part, go right in the middle of them until they get fairly close and then start moving forward till the eventually hit each other and explode.

Game Explanation:
Dubloon Disaster is simple all you really have to do is steer the little boat around the mines which are always moving toward you. They also move faster toward you as they get closer to you. You are trying to collect as many coins as possible. They will pop up one at a time. You don’t have to run over the coin to get it just get close.

Dubloon Disaster: Behavior of Mines by Mark Ellis

This is a guide for those who can’t seem to stop hitting the mines. This explains why they follow you and ways to use it to your advantage.

OK, basically the point of the game is to collect the coins that drop out of the boat but not to be hit by the heat-seeking mines.

First of all the mines are not heat-seeking, the tactic they use on following you is biased on the gravity-well property. You’ve probably seen this in many boring physics videos about black holes and such. Just imagine your boat is a black hole and that all the mines are not following you, they are “falling” into the well. This is why they go faster the closer they get to you and why the ones at the other side of the screen don’t seem to move at all.
