Regarding Faerie Bubbles

[singittome]

So I'm trying for the avatar, and the air bubbles are really making me mad. But when you "have" to do the air combo, how many rows does it add on? Cause every time I do the combo, I get like 3 or 4 more rows added on. Even if I just have one row to go.

It will "fill in the gaps", so to speak. From TDN's Neopets Game Guides for Faerie Bubbles, "Air - Fills the gaps of the lines they are in." It will fill them in from left and right, with random bubbles, with the Air combo, dropping, of course. The only time it doesn't, or is good, is when the whole row is complete with Air bubbles. It will just make the entire row fall. A "combo" of three will make them disappear, but a fourth (or more), well, it is usually bad, as you already know. I usually start over, when that happens. Been trying for that avatar, too. I actually completed all 20 levels, but didn't have enough for the avatar.

 

EDIT:

 

So, if you have three Air bubbles going down, like this:

 

          X

          X

          X

 

And add a fourth, like this:

 

         X

         X

         X

         X

 

You will get four rows, like this:

 

0000000000 0000000000

0000000000 0000000000

0000000000 0000000000

0000000000 0000000000

 

With the "gap" being the "dropping" Air combo. Not very nice, at all.

And there are times when I do the air combo, no bubbles add on, but the next combo will bring a row or two. I got to level 19 with like 1750, but I accidently used the slumber berry in another level because I didn't want to die when I had a good score.

Faerie Bubbles is one of those games that can easily anger and frustrate you. I know from experience! I finally managed to get the avatar after a fluke of trying constantly for a while, then I gave up and didn't touch the game for months. When I finally did give it a try again I was able to get the necessary score and a shiny new avatar. My best advice to you is try your best to avoid making air combos greater then 3 or you may be doomed. If you havn't read or hear this tip, a ruler can make lining up your shots easier. Good luck! When you feel like you're at your whits end, best to stop for a while and come back to it another time. :)

I've actually traced the blaster on a piece of paper, and sometimes it doesn't work. When I think I have it in position, it bounces off another bubble.
