IrishLiz Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 So I've been trying to get the Typing Terror avatar for ages... I'm a fairly good typist and beat the game just about every time a play (except for the times a robot randomly pops up and ends the game, haha) with a high accuracy and all 3 lives, still no high enough score for an avatar. With the 8 submissions, I've been playing it even more, and I just scored 3576. :grrr: For me, it's really frustrating being able to beat a game over and over again yet not be able to get the avatar. Anyone else share in this frustration? Any tips beyond patience what is in the TDN guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yeah I'm with you. Your High Scores All Time: 3,390 Not as high as yours, but still decent enough to roar at the screen and wish it was a coule of points higher :P I might just want to try for the avatar again, but the game glitches out on me all the time :sad02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am not a very good typist. I fail so badly at this game! I can't make it past the fourth level most of the time, and I've never made it past the fifth level. It would really help if there was a word list, so that I could practice outside of the game. If anyone knows of a guide that lists all of the words, please let me know. Seriously, I know your pain. There are a few avatars that I've been trying to get for a very long time that I just can't quite reach the avatar score. Keep trying, and just hope you get lots of the red and sparking robots.

I think anything above 3000 is worth roaring at the screen. :yes: I am not a very good typist. I fail so badly at this game!

Spritzie Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 This is my absolute favorite game. I type at roughly 96wpm last I was tested for work. I enjoy it. When I first started playing this, I couldn't pass level 5. Now I pass all levels, often with 100% accuracy on all levels. I actually got the avatar to this one, before I knew there was one. I believe this is luck and skill combined. I followed the guides, and didn't score higher than normal. But when I do it my way (just typing what pops up, though going for red or broken first if possible) I score much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Luck is definitely a major factor in this game. Sometimes you can get one or two high-scoring Grundos in one level and other times you can last a couple of levels without a single one (well, I've tried).

Anisha Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am not much of a good typist. At first, I used to fail often. But after lots of practice, now, I usually score around 3000 to 3500 only. Actually, this is not one of my favorite games. I wish there was a avatar if we scored more that 3000. That would have been so easy. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 lol that's the reason it's at what, 3,600? It'd be far too easy below that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I usually can't even get 2k on this. I think if I had the patience to practice I'd do much better but this is not a game I'm good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdcd Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I finally got the avatar for this a couple of weeks ago. I just happened to get a lot of the 100 pt. grundos every round. I am a very good typist, but if you just get the 5 pt. ones, you will never get the avatar. If you are going for the avatar and you haven't gotten any 100 pt ones by the third level, I would quit the game and start over until you get them.

dasbif Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 i haven't started working on this avatar quite yet. nor most of the "score-high-in-a-game" game ones, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4fairy Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ok this might be weird (prolly is) but I really like typing xD Which means, this is actually one of the games on my favourites list. However, I don't have the avatar yet D: It's more chance than anything (like a lot of things on neopets) because you need to get those bonus robot things or else there's just no way to get that high of a score.

Domino Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Ahhh. This avatar is so frustrating...it constantly evades me. i want this one so badly. My highest score was...3,531. I just sat and stared at the screen for a little. Stunned. :grrr: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I'm too lazy to actually get game avatars. Don't even have Gadgadsgame yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 This one was an accident for me. And I don't think I've gotten over 3600 again. Pft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 yeah...you really have to get just the right game to get the avvie. *is frustrated* Edit: just scored a 3488. *is still frustrated* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeny Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Ugh, I feel like I'm so good at this game. I just don't understand how to increase my score. 3392. *explodes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yeah. I love this game. I love typing. Cause I'm good at it. :laughingsmiley: I can always beat the game....but that dumb avatar is so elusive :grrr: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yeah I'm just as frustrated as some of you are. I've always been a really good typist and I always beat the game but still can't seem to get that avatar. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeky_monkey419 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I got the avatar, the best way is too practice and practice and get lots of purple and red grundos. It did take me a while to get the avvie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I kinda try to wait and see if I get any 100-point Grundos before starting to kill the rest. Sometimes you get lucky, but most of the time you're wasting time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get lucky, but most of the time you're wasting time. Yeah, you definitely need those bonus Grundo robot things or else there's just no way. And I'm not sure if this is a skill, but hey, I think I'm getting better at reading things backwards ;P Anyway, just play consistently and with some luck, you should be able to get the avatar. <= applies to me too xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 I just got 3596. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! :grrr: Just have to vent a little. This is super frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB24 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Right now, I'm just playing 8 times to get 8,000 Neopoints. Don't really care about the avatar since I'm not bothered to play more than 8 times a day lol. Gets frustrating. EDIT: Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Typing Terror' as an avatar on the NeoBoards! Got a score of 3,660. After I got 2,560 by the end of level 5, I was so nervous 'cause you can get a max of 1,100 in the final level. Took my time and got 1,100 but was so scared it would fail to send score. I can stop playing this now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
