Wow, that was much easier than I was expecting! Nothing wrong with that though!

Wow, that easy one gave me a chance to practice the other 4 games -- if May and Pickles are right, I've got a good chance at MegaSuperb. *crosses fingers*

I hope all of us PPTers stay in, and they don't make the scores too hard -- but not too easy, either.

Is anyone else having an issue with the challenges list? I just finished ten challenges and now the list is telling me that I've only finished three.

Wow, that stinks. :( :hug: I had my LiSF challenge go poof (as well as the prize and the high score), but I was able to play again and get them back -- I hope they were relatively quick and easy challenges for you (and not Gummy Dice).

There have been numerous tips posted in the Daily Dare splits, especially for KM (my own personal Goliath as well) -- to find them quicker, you can use the search function -- you might want to try "KM" or "MN" as well as the names of the games; search within the past month in "General Chat" to narrow things down. Towards the beginning of either this split or the last one, I posted a link to a couple of messages with KM hints; one of those messages is the last message in one of the DD threads. The key to KM2 is a ton of practice (I literally had to practice an hour or more a day for over a week to get it), but the hints will hopefully decrease the time for you. Good luck! If, after reading the tips in these threads, you still need help, just post again.

Here's the gist of the tips that I can remember, but the original messages were much more detailed. For MN, play division at potato counter; it's much easier than random. I think there's also a cheat code, but I can't remember it. For KM, play animations off. Once different color backgrounds start appearing, match the new background colors first (so all the red backgrounds, then the plain ones; in later rounds, do all the green, then all the yellow, then all the red, then all the plain). Keep track of your best time per level in an Excel file. This helps you see which levels you need to improve on and how close you're getting to the goal. It really helps you stick with it when you shave 20 seconds off level 11. Even the 2-3 second gains/level show how close you'd be if you could max out each level within the same game. (I posted my best times per level after I finally beat AAA's score if you'd like to see an approximate breakdown of what you should aim for.) Hope these help (though the original posts will help more.)

Jubble Bubble... another rather easy game, with AAA scoring 600, and his sister 125...

Just for the record, AAA's prize is, indeed, Maraquan Shoyru Bubble Blower

I'm hoping Ice cream machine will be a fairly high score, just for one good challenge before it ends.

I've seen a link to what the prizes are, and since I'm already out of the running for the ultimate prize, I'm glad I'm not busting a gut to make Megasuperb. I'm sure it will be valuable, but it's still not very exciting!

600? Sheesh, last year it was 800. Here I was all worried it would get harder, and practiced a lot last night. Considering that of the 4 remaining, this was the only one I was even remotely worried about...

I'm just glad it looks like there will be a book for Ultimate. :D

May found a website that had such info, and posted it in the unreleased thread, starting here. There's more info on the next page, as well.
We don't know what order they're in, but we're fairly certain of the last few games, based on the found items.

How the heck did I get over 1000 the other night? Now I can only get in the 400-500 range. For some reason, the turtle thing keeps getting sad for several seconds when he doesn't catch a shell -- which makes me miss the jubjubs I'm trying to get. I didn't have this problem the last time I played -- is this a lag issue or what?

I'm sure I'll get it eventually. I just don't understand why it was so easy in my practice play and such a pain in the rear now.

Was the shell in a bubble? If not, it could've hit him and stunned him for a moment. o_O

It wasn't -- but it was also on the other side of the screen! I closed the game window and reopened it, and it stopped doing that, allowing me to get the score first try. I guess it was a weird glitch. So if someone else is randomly having the turtle (just realized from the prize it's really a Maraquan Shoyru, but whatever) pause for no apparent reason, try reopening the game window.
