LillytheGrundo Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I am useless in this game. I'm on a lap top. Once the letters switch it's pretty much game over for me... I feel like I'll be lucky to get Abigail today... Ugh... Edit: Well for all my complaining I went right over and beat Abigail. lol Just leaned a little and tilted my lap top when the controls switched. Good Luck everyone!
muppetelle Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I am being a VERY lazy Neopian this Daily Dare, mainly due to rl constraints, but there is NO way I could have beaten AA today on a laptop, with no wireless keyboard in the house, so I'm glad that I had already opted for Abigail a couple of times, and therefore was happy to opt for her again, the keys that you use if you have no number pad don't line up properly, they're not directly under each other, like they would be on a number pad, I found it really hard, but have beaten Abigail *phew*
sftangliz Posted March 20, 2012 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. That is the advice I followed and after I got the game to actually work, I knocked it out in a few minutes. Messed up once by laying my arm on the keyboard after I rotated. HAHA!!
msmanic Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!! I'm going to need to this. I'm stuck with a laptop as well... I need to get an outside keyboard to hook up or I will be taping my keyboard. HEY! I found it is ten times easier to just place your pointer and middle fingers on your left hand over the Y and B keys and then the other hands pointer and middle fingers over the I and M!

muppetelle Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Oh that sounds like a really good plan! Wish I'd tried that lol!
Zafie Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Such an awful game.. Just managed to beat Abigail's score. I am so glad its finally over. <_<
Welcome Back Apathy Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 :jerrypteri: On the Daily Dare page, where it says your score and AAA's score, it says "level". AAA is at Level 336, and I'm at Level 392. Man, I survived a LONG time, apparently! ...The smiley is unrelated. I just found it while looking for a laughing smiley, and I liked it too much not to use. I wonder if they accidentally put in the "level" stuff because they're going to do a challenge tomorrow that's by level rather than by points. They've done Habitarium before; that's what initially got me to start a Habitarium, and I'm glad they did it. Maybe there will be a Habitarium challenge tomorrow. Or maybe it will be Cellblock, and you have to be up to a certain level. Something like that.
GuardianAwesome Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I got the AAA score, but it was definitely frustrating. I used both hands, turned my laptop sideways a bit, and managed to get around 350. I really wanted those boots. I have a feeling they'll inflate because this score was harder to get, plus everyone loves the goth wearables.
k473 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Thank you all for your tips and sharing your laptop-related frustrations! There have been a number of games this year that I've hated because of my trackpad, and the lack of a number pad nearly caused me to break my AAA streak on this game without even attempting the score, but with everything everyone posted I was able to get 338. And probably never play this game again. :)
Rune Valentine Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 ...LOL Xepha xD I resolved to beating Abigail today. The controls are so awkward on my laptop and after a long day I don't really feel like going after AAA. I normally have no problem with a regular keyboard. Unfortunately mine is about 10,000 miles away...
Ravenlovesneopets Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) My computer desk is fairly small and crowded, so when I turn my keyboard I have to scoot so the sit, since it sticks out. :P After a little practice, it's pretty easy. Edited March 20, 2012 by Ravenlovesneopets
SuperAttackPea Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I just challenged abigail, aaa is too hard and I don't care about silver or gold

Ravenlovesneopets Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Argh, the keys keep getting stuck and draining my lives.
Lady Lyuba Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 OH FYORA no, not this game! Ugh! Well, I could TRY beating AAA, I see many beating solely him....oh gosh I hate this game so much!
neon_nightingale Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I really thought this one would ruin my AAA streak. It's impossible to do on my laptop but luckily I had a keyboard in the house. It was so much easier on the num lock pad!! I have no desire to play this one again though - so frustrating!
Sakabato Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Thank goodness I have a desktop. It was annoying in level 4, I hate how this game works.
Balance Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 The game is still bugged, in addiiton to stinking in every other way. I could not get it to clear the start screen when I hit [space] while I had the number key option selected. I had to switch it to letters before it would even let me play. That would have been annoying enough without their lousy choice of keys. [bNM] rather than [NM,] is way more awkward. I still beat AAA's score and got the bonus (thanks to the extension of the deadline), but I can't think of any way they could have done a better job of reminding us that they fail at making flash games.
