If information without comment is what you’d like, check out our game guide for the day’s game or just the summary here! Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to TDN's exclusive coverage of Neopets' Daily Dare 2012! This special message is being brought to you live from Roo Island, where a very strange phenomenon is occurring. This is Brooke, reporting. The locals of this friendly, vibrant island have been hopping frantically about this evening, so desperate to send those AAA-beating scores before midnight, that very few of them seem to have noticed that their island is being threatened! Earlier on Monday, a swarm of tiny purple creatures began to descend upon the innocent Blumaroos and other inhabitants of Roo Island. According to some reports, over 4000 of these "bugs" have taken up resident on the outskirts of the island. Short of responding with alarm, most of the locals seem almost entirely oblivious to the invasion! This evening, just after midnight (NST), I had the chance to speak with one of these locals, a young orange Blumaroo whose name was not recorded: Brooke: Good evening, sir! I'm with TDN, and I'd like to speak with you for a moment. Blumaroo: Hold on a sec... I can't afford to miss another cootie this round! And I've only got an hour left to beat AAA! Brooke: Sir, you realize that it's 12:05? They've released the next challenge: Gwyl's Great Escape. Blumaroo: They... WHAT? But my watch says 11:05! Brooke: Did you forget to set your clock forward for Daylight Savings? At this point, the poor fellow went a bit wild-eyed, and made himself.... unavailable for further comment. We can only hope that the residents of Roo Island will be able to get Gwyl through the mines before the island is completely overrun!

Tedhaun Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 ^ It's not often that you post here at the forums these days, but I still enjoyed that bit of news. Ontopic: I managed to get away with a score of 891 out of 890 to beat AAA. Darn spikes and other hazards (and glitches to several) making the game a challenge. Also, if you want to have a better score for Gwyl's Escape, this guide should be of good use: http://www.neopets.com/~tickular EDIT: I got to 1642 points in that game thanks to that guide I found. I used to be rubbish at Gwyl's. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellethiel Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thank you for the tip, buddy buddy! Don't forget we also have a lovely guide right here on TDN. :D And I certainly hope to be more active on the forums in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airotia Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I used both TDN's guide and the one on tickular. XD The level guide was immensely helpful, since it helped me get the shortest route and therefore, the most time bonus points I could probably get away with. I played it on large with the guide off to the side, staring at the guide as I played so I knew where the obstacles were and stuff. With the guide on tickular, I went from ~500 to ~900, enough to get AAA today. :3 But the guide on TDN is what informed me of the lovely cheatcode... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linsta Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Awesome guide, boosted my score from 941 to 1716 (under review). Looks like I'm in range for a trophy too ^.^! Hope all these people doing daily dare won't bump me down, but even so, I can always try again at the beginning of the month :). DD is helping me find games I can get trophies in xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scartic Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 1034, that went better than I thought, hope I can keep this up for the entire daily dare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimphal Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Gwyl glitched on the obelisk on Lava II, just my luck, needed only 18 points more... well, I might try later today, now life is calling :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I got a trophy for that game just last month (and stayed within the range of trophies for the whole month too, so it's not a popular game), so I'm sure it will be easy for me to beat AAA. However, it takes a bit of time and I won't play it before I come back from uni. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My highest score ever is 737, and I seem to remember that was after a long, long time of practicing. Darn it. So much for beating AAA every day. I'll check out the guide when I come back from teaching today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I challenged Abigail before I even come here ... I didn't think about it .. my High Score was 690 .. I hate this game and couldn't be bothered .. both prizes are rubbish anyway Edit: I tried with the guide NeoMysterion posted .. just for fun .. and yet I couldn't be bothered enough to get AAA's score .. the game gives me a serious headache .. or maybe 'cuz I've had vertigo since yesterday and can't focus ... ah well , I knew my AAA run was going to end sooner or later ..

MysteriousUser Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 This game really grinds my gears. The hit detection is very poor but that's not too much of a problem. But one major problem is that the Goal glitches too much. I was about to beat AAA when I couldn't touch the goal and I only needed a 10+ time bonus to win. >:V Ack. Oh well. I'll try again later. I already missed the deadline for one other game so I might miss this one too. So much for the book. Also, the "medium" challenges give me more trouble then the "hard" challenges. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nURLo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Game glitches are really annoying and this one takes the cake so far... ugh! Second time trying and the game glitches in the same spot on the lava level... not happy 3rd time is a charm, I actually got a better score and no glitches when I played it on the normal settings (not low-res) amazing I can't believe myself 1348!! Thanks for the guide help, wouldn't have done it without that extra level :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Finally beat it! I'm so glad to be done with this game. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sftangliz Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Oh the past three days have been some of my "not most loved" games. After Meepit Juice Break though Cooty Wars and Gwyls was like a breath of fresh air. Still hangin' with AAA, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bataclops Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ack, I got glitched too right at the end of level 5. So frustrating! Gwyl is so tedious and I really didn't want to do it again, but alas, I want that AAA trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
