Games Master Challenge 2018

[Duke Pikachu]

Okay, today's games are pretty harsh.

TEAM KNIGHT:
Skies Over Meridell:
Youtube Video
General Advice:
1. Your plane is the one on the right, when the game starts hold down the right arrow key to lift up before hitting the barn.
2. I find jittering up and down (by pressing the left and right arrow keys, yes it's annoying) while shooting gives me the best shot at hitting my opponent. But if you feel you have a clean shot on them you can shoot straight.
3. For most of the game you're going to want to be chasing your opponent, trying to actually dog fight them is the easiest way to get shot. If you just can't catch up to them you may need to somersault and face them head on.
4. Remember after destroying an opponent the next one will be invincible for a few seconds BUT they can still shoot you. Keep away until they stop blinking.

Biscuit Brigade: Hagan's Last Stand:
Youtube Video
General Advice: There's a LOT of strategies you can do and if you want to see if you can make your own go right ahead, but the Youtube Video I link to has a really simple one that gets you to 1100 fast.

TEAM RAIDER:
Piper Panic:
Jellyneo Guide
General Advice:
1. Video ain't going to help you here, JN's guide is the best bet.
2. Even then, the puzzles layout spins and rotates game-to-game. You may need to memorize the middle and later puzzles solutions.
EDIT: Some have reported better success using the guide from The Daily Neopets.

Snot Splatter:
Jellyneo Guide
General Advice: Once again, JN guide is better than a video.

I've literally never played SOM. >_> This game is absolutely infuriating...

[Patjade]

Agreed, SOM is a real pain. I may quit for the night and try again in the morning. However, the video for BB was a great help.

[Allison]

Yeah... I'm definitely not a fan of SOM. My high score prior to playing today was 45. I'm up to 75 now... Oy.

[Rabbit ♠]

Today, I realized I made the right choice when choosing raiders.

I love Snot Splatter and Piper Panic. It took me forever to get the Piper Panic score, but I managed. I love puzzle games so much, so I'm happy.

[doctortomoe]

Well, that was fun today. Raiders games so far have been rather easy, just a lot of games I haven't played before.

[Twillie]

Snowmuncher is one of the few Neo games I actually played somewhat regularly throughout all my years as a Neo user. I cannot believe I never realized until yesterday that similar colored blocks disappear together in groups xD

I guess I just always figured it was random when one or more blocks disappeared, or I just never paid much attention at all. My technique has always just been click and hope for the best xD; See, this is what happens when you never consult Jellyneo or the likes (or even know they exist) as a kid.

(Oh also I mistook the score as 2000 rather than 3000, so yeah I didn't quite reach the goal. Not sure I'll try today's either, since I've never played the Knights game and its difficulty sounds like more work than I want to deal with >>)

I like both those games too, but UGH the necessary scores are higher than my own high scores...I feel doomed, lol.

But I need those end prizes!!

(And puzzle games are my faves too, so hopefully that continues. )

[Blueysicle]

Ugggggh, it must've taken me two hours to finally get a high enough score in Piper Panic. Methinks 5,500 as the needed score was a little bit excessive...

Yes, yes it is, and I've played it before. You can get it by level 3, but it's also luck based with the powerups (and if a plane crashes into the barn or a falling Kiko blimp basket, you won't get points)

That was the bane of my existence all morning when I was playing. My opponents just kept dive bombing the barn. I swear on level two the opponent killed themselves every single time, so I advanced... but only got like 15 points from powerups here and there.

[Moni]

I HATE MEDIEVAL HILLBILLY FIGHT SIMULATOR

[Allison]

Oh my goodness. FINALLY! I finally got 210 in SOM. What I finally did was I just kept trying to get over my opponent and get him from above.

[Carolyn]

It took literally hours but I got it. .___. I think this goes into my hall of fame of Worst Games Ever. All it took was distracting myself and playing while talking to my twin. Heh.

[Blueysicle]

So I played a little bit of Skies Over Meridell just so I can send in a score so it'll count towards the fifty games challenge that they typically put on the last day.* And oh my god, those controls are atrocious. I genuinely feel bad for you guys on Team Knights...

_{*(On that note, if you guys aren't doing so already, it's a good idea to play a few non-challenge qualifying games each day so you don't get stressed out on the final day!)}
