Attack of the Slorgs...I suck!

Apparently this is supposed to be a fairly easy game avvie, but I can never seem to get past levels 5/6. Ergh.

 

Does anyone have any tips for aiming when the slorgs start going in a vertical line? I always end up shooting my target somewhere where I don't want it to go. (Is there some sort of trick to it?)

 

Not being able to play this game makes me feel very inept :(

Hey there! On my quest for avatars, game avatars are near the end of my 'to do' list. So I read your post about 1hr ago and had never played Attack of the Slorgs, so I admit I'm not going to be that much help. But after 45min of playing, and 15min of internet searching I can tell you that

 

a) I can sympathise (already!)!! Those slorgs are pretty frustrating, especially since one game takes such a long time...

b) dw youre not the only one having trouble, only 11% of TDN members have the avatar :)

c) type the word 'marrow' and you will get an extra life

d) if a frog pops up, shoot it and you'll get an extra 25 points

e) you can shoot off unwanted colours; as in if your shooter thing wants to shoot a brown slorg, and you don't want a brown slorg you can just aim the shooter off screen and shoot it away - this can help when youre shooting into that horrible vertical line and you don't even want the colour

 

and I've read (on the TDN guide: http://www.thedailyneopets.com/neopets-games/attack-of-the-slorgs/) that:

f) typing in chargex4 will 'repair' the laser (when you lose your aiming thingo)

-this should help with your aim problem, as I assume the main problem is that you don't have that line to help? Otherwise maybe ultimate bullseye would be good practice? Much less frustrating :\

 

So, you probably knew at least half of that considering I am the noob here...but just thought I'd help out with my learnings of the past hour :P

Nothing is ever easy; don't feel inept. I can't play ANY game. :P I have ONE game avvie - the Kass Basher one. :P

 

Okay okay I'm sorry, but I have tired eyes. I didn't go through the guides. (sorry! :/) but I found you some reliable ones!

 

This here's TDN's, JN's, Cotton_Kandy_Ace's, and there's one here on hitting a "crazy frog", whatever that is.

 

All the best; this isn't really very helpful, but it took me a bit of time to get through JN's one, and I'm feeling a little dizzy now, so. All teh best, anyway! :)

Ok being a tiny bit of an expert on this game (haven't completed the game but do have a gold trophy) here are my tips:

 

1: Starting on level 5 you need to be quick

2: read TDN's guide it's really helpful

3: since the grey slorgs are rare discard them by firing off screen

4: don't worry about hitting the frog, in other words don't go out of your way to get it

5: don't use the slorg block power up or the red powerup (can't recall the name)

6: discard slorgs you can't use right away instead of waiting for a place. This wastes valuable time

7: When you get the pink powerup wait until the slorgs reach the bottom and are relatively close to the crop before blasting behind the first slorg to destroy all the ones behind it. when waiting take your hand away from the space bar until your ready and have your shot lined up or you might just waste your powerup.

8: when you get the brown powerup wait until your screen has a fair bit of slorgs and then hit them with the powerup and destroy them by getting the right coloured slorg. Don't wait too long though or you could run out of room.

9: when aiming in a vertical line make sure you have your laser line to help with the aiming. Aim at the slorg and hopefully get a good shot. On level five I focus most of my shots on the first and second upwards curve instead of doing a lot of vertical aiming as its difficult on level 5.

If you can survive long enough to get to level 8 you'll be able to get the avatar either before the level or during.

I hope these tips help! Good luck, be patient, practice, practice, practice! :D

 

If you need any more help PM here or send me a neomail and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! When you manage to get this avatar you'l be thrilled!

thanks so much everyone! i should have explained myself better, i meant when the slorgs start traveling vertically along the path and it becomes impossible to shoot the ones in the middle (i should really have a picture to illustrate this, sorry)

 

but yes, mouseykins, thank you for the tip! i guess i should just forget about the vertical lines and concentrate on the turns.

 

*goes back to pound some slorg butt*
