While we do our best to keep things reasonably neutral, this report is in no way intended to be a completely bias-free representation of the parties involved. 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 everyone! Emily here with you again. With Abigail trapping the weird bugs in potato sacks, it seems like players are able to get on with the Daily Dare challenges. For Now. Ghost Bopper is the game of the day and it looks like AAA has put up quite a challenge for everyone to beat. I am NOT looking foreward to this one. 1 ) the ghosties are creepy and 2 ) this game does not like me. Of course, some of you wizkids, like TDN's own resident Games Master Dante, will have no trouble drowning AAA's score. Players are still fearful that this year's challenge may have to end early on account of the infestation of the game room. Even Abigail is threatening to shut down the buggy games machine to get tis problem cleared up. Hopefully, she will reconsider and let us all finish as we move into the home stretch, the final days of the competition. Well, I'm off to bop me some ghosts. Play hard and play safe, Neopia. This is Emily from The Daily Neopets saying thank you and goodnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakabato Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well, today's challenge is random ... Too bad I hear the game is glitchy for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pang Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Phew! Finally got it. I will never play the game again, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 didn't even have to think about this one ... went for Abi !!! got 133 from first 3 levels and quit ... i simply get too confused when the controls are flipped ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don't forget to ROTATE your keyboard when the controls change (so Escape is to your body). You can make it so they will face the same way and you can hit the keys like you normally would. When it rotates again, remember that up is down. You can beat AAAs score. Just keep practicing to get used to the control switch and having your keyboard be in a wonky position for a few rounds. Play until you get a lot of coins/chests because I got the score before the second switch came around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Cant even press the spacebar to start it :( Bah! Hopefully this'll be sorted out. Strange that it's working fine for some people and not for others :/ Tried on FF, Chrome and Safari with no difference. If this breaks my streak I'll be mad!

Scartic Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've got this glitch; somethimes when I press a key, the key gets 'stuck', and my lives dissappear within seconds EDIT: managed it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Tried it on IE which I generally avoid but it worked!! Managed the score with 2 points to spare :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This game is really difficult on a laptop (since the keyboard is built it). If you have a desktop computer with a keyboard elsewhere at home, log on to your Neopets account and use that keyboard! Got the score, and won't be playing this again unless I've been asked to play it again in a Daily Dare or GMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don't forget to ROTATE your keyboard when the controls change i'm on a laptop :( Cant even press the spacebar to start it yes me too I was wondering what that was about !! anyway i played with the letters I've got this glitch; somethimes when I press a key, the key gets 'stuck', and my lives dissappear within seconds happened to me too :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyrenSkywolf Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah, I had issues with the "number lock" with my laptop. Stupid glitch. Checked the boards and they were saying to use Internet Explorer. While I hate IE, it worked like a charm for the game, and am now 13/13 AAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This game is relatively easy for me. I got over 1000 pts the first try. Good luck everyone. I am actually sort of getting annoyed with how easy most of these challenges are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enwhyyou Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I wonder if all the glitchy games TNT is choosing for Daily Dare is on purpose because of all the "bugs." It would be like them to pull something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugagem01 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Argh, so not fair, im on a notebook and ii dont think ive got a num lock... Now some of the keys sont work, can only bash like, 3 out of the 9 x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimphal Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Rotating the keyboard is the best way, however I almost gave up since I'm on a laptop and rotating it would, well, not work :D Then I remember we had a random USB keyboard somewhere in the house, fished it out and got the score with just a few points to spare :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyBiscuit Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm having the spacebar-to-start-the-game problem too... My password is long and confusing, and not saved for IE so I'll have to try that later. My old score is two above Abigail's so hopefully I can pull it off again. I'm also using a laptop but I plugged in an external mouse and keyboard. I'm such a desktop user... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Most of the buttons don't work, because I'm using the laptop at the moment... .__.; Here's hoping that my parents will let me to use their computer so that I can play this game! xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airotia Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I thought it was impossible. I could only hit about 200 something. And then, herp-a-derp, I realized that when they switched the buttons, they didn't do so randomly. So I leaned to the left after the first control switch, and got it on my first try. Much easier than glancing at the screen and lining it up each time. Made me feel silly, though. Still, got AAA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Remember, ladies and gents, your local library has non-laptop computers :-P I may do that later. I've gotten well over AAA's score before; I know I can do it again. But it's been a long time since I last played, so it will take some practice. Good thing I only work until 3 today! Arrrrgh...just got 319...and it wouldn't annoy me so much, except I lost seven lives in rapid succession simply because the numbers stopped registering as I pressed them for about ten seconds, and then all of a sudden they registered after the petpets were already gone. EDIT: There we go, got it covered before I even have to go teach! Lydia Trebond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonouschicken Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Crap, I hate this game. It's all manageable until they rotate the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bataclops Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wireless keyboards were the best thing to happen to this game ;) Especially for this challenge because by the time you get through one rotation cycle you have enough points for AAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nURLo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well this isn't going to work very well if I can't get past the "press space to continue" screen... *heavy sigh* Alright used internet explorer and busted out the old external keypad and was able to slaughter AAA's score... Wait so what happens if Abigail actually shuts down the games room?!? *gasp* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I was so excited to see this game! This is always one of my dailies, whether it has a good NP ratio or not. I used to hate it and get too confused, but with practice, now I can make it to the end, without moving my keyboard around. (I actually never thought to try that.) My HS is nearly 1100, but it was super slow today, so I stopped shortly after getting AAA's score. Don't get discouraged, just keep practicing.

Xepha Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yep, this challenge is not fun for laptop owners. :( I have a separate wireless keyboard at home, so I'm going to use THAT. I taped the letters around the ones used in the game to avoid pressing them. Since it's already tricky to play it right without a number pad. hrtbrk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
