Well this could have gone better. Your Lost Desert expedition did not go as planned. Trapped inside one of the ancient pyramids, you were forced to rearrange stone tiles to find a way out of the building as the hot sand was slowly flooding the chamber around, just waiting to bury you alive. After labourous hours of hard work and puzzle solving, you finally make it out alive. Your friends and loved ones, are so enrapt with your tale of adventure, you decide to recreate the same torture that you went through, for them!

Word Pyramid is a triangular treat designed for those with an eye for pattern recognition and those very adept with words. No two games will ever exactly be the same. So pull up a chair (and a water bottle) and get ready for your challenge.

For every 2.50 points you earn in Word Pyramid, you will earn 1 neopoints.

Word Pyramid Basic Instructions

In Word Pyramid the game starts off by showing you a carefully constructed pyramid of triangle shaped tiles, each labeled with a letter of the alphabet. Your job is to click a tile and connect it to another tile until you are able to form a word. Over time new blocks will begin to fall, whether or not you using tiles quickly or slowly. If you combine a word in the middle of the pyramid, or any other part that is dependent on structure, the tiles will collapse inwards to fill the gap in (see “Phases of the Pyramid” below). The tiles you use in order to make the words MUST be touching each other in order to be added to the word. Since it can be confusing what Word Pyramid considers “touching”, I’ve included multiple examples of acceptable patterns located below in the table titled “Letters ‘Touching’ to Make Words.

The word you enter will be spelt on the right hand side of the screen, once complete click the “Go” button. If it is an acceptable word, Amarna (the explorer who was trapped in the pyramid) will rub his hands together and the tiles you selected will disappear and the pyramid will correct itself. If the word is not acceptable, Amarna will wag his finger at you and the tiles will be deselected. Using consonants will earn you more points than vowels and the longer the word the more points you will earn!

Almost have that perfect word, but you’re missing just one vowel? Well don’t worry, you can have that vowel…for a price. At the beginning of the game you can buy each vowel for 10 points each, simply click on the vowel you want and it will be added in the first immediate spot open. (You can start the word with vowel, just make sure you have no other letters selected yet.) Be sure you can spell the word correctly before you purchase the vowel, if you mess up and have to clear, your vowel will disappear and you will have to buy it again. Each time you buy a vowel, the cost will be increased for the next purchase. Every once and awhile you might be lucky enough to discover a “blank” tile. You can click on this tile and then select which vowel you want it to be, once this is done, it cannot be undone so pick wisely.

Just to add to the level of fun, you have to play against the clock! In the top-right corner there will be a clock gradually counting down your remaining time. For every word you complete, you will earn extra time. Shorter words such as “at” will earn you less time than you would for the word”attic”. Once you run out of time, the game ends.

Keep in mind that each word can only be 8 letters each and has to be words recognized by the neopian dictionary; no abbreviations, no proper nouns, and no foreign words!

Word Pyramid Controls

In Word Pyramid you use your mouse to select the different tiles in order to make words. You can tell when a tile is selected when it lights up golden. You can deselect a tile by clicking on it again and the golden light will disappear.

Word Pyramid Cheats

• New tiles have to be touching one of the previous letters in the word in order for it to count (see pictures above for examples)
• No words longer than 8 letters
• Words must be in the Neopian Dictionary
• Awards bonus points for spelling certain Neopets words (such as “Negg” or “Pound”). Some words that appear perfectly correct will be rejected (simply because the game was written before they existed!) For instance “Ruki” is not an accepted word. Try to keep a list of words that seem okay, but were rejected.
• You can buy vowels, but they will become more expensive with each buy
• “Blank” tiles will award you a “free” vowel

Everyone one has a favourite hobby they love to do. Some neopets read books, or collect plushies, some even try their hand at fighting in the battledome. But some others prefer to spend their spare time rolling red bouncy balls between potted plants and landing trick shots off of garden gnomes. In Wingoball, you become that Neopet with the quirky pastime.

For every 2.04 points you earn in Wingoball, you will earn 1 neopoint.

Wingoball Basic Instructions

In Wingoball you are playing as arm of a blue mynci, holding a red ball. The object of the game is get the red ball to pass the green line on the right side of the screen. Sounds simple right? Well it would be if there wasn’t a bit more to the game. To get to that side of the line you will have to perform various trick shots like bouncing the ball off walls, plants,  and green-hatted gnomes, all the while avoiding red-hatted gnomes you will steal your ball, making you start over. Oh and did I mention there was a time limit of 30 seconds per level? The good news is you have an unlimited amount of throws each round for those 30 seconds. But, if you run out of time on a level, the game will end. If you complete the level by rolling the red ball over the line, you will move onto the next. There are a total of 25 levels in Wingoball, and each level will have a varying degree of difficulty.

Wingoball Controls

The controls in this game consists of the mouse. You move the mouse up and down inside the playing area to angle the position of your shot. Once you find your desired angle, simply left click to shoot the ball, and watch it go! (hopefully to the finish line.)

Wingoball Scoring

There are two ways to earn points in Wingoball. The first is a time bonus for finishing each level in a timely manner. For every second left on the clock at the end of each level, you will earn one points (15 seconds left=15 in-game points). However, this does not mean you should just try blowing through all the levels in hopes of finishing quickly, because the second way to earn points is by throwing only one ball per level. If your first ball crosses the line, you will earn an additional 25 points, plus your time bonus, for that level.

To achieve the highest score possible, speed and extreme accuracy are necessary. Knowing EXACTLY where to shoot and when to shoot are vital in this game. See the “Wingoball Level Solutions” portion of this guide to learn where to aim your cursor in order to solve each level.

Wingoball Cheats

• Red-hatted gnomes will steal your ball-best to avoid them
• Green-hatted gnomes, plants, and the sides of the map will cause your ball to bounce off them
• You earn 25 points for completing a level with only one ball
• You will be able to reference this guide on where to position your cursor before starting each level
• Position your cursor on the map before starting the level to save precious time
• Do not be scared if the potted plants on the level solutions look different from yours, the imagery will change, but aim will not!

Wingoball Level Solutions

Below is a table of all 25 levels, that shows you an approximation of WHERE to click (shown in the circle of the black mouse cursor on each picture). Please note these pictures are not guaranteed to show exactly WHEN to click, and slight variation of where the actual “sweet spot” is may occur. It may take some time to get used to exactly where you should click, just remember, practice makes perfect!

One Straight and true, get to clicking!
Two This is where bouncing off the walls comes into play.
Three Here gnomes are introduced, just wait until they are not walking in front of you, and fire away.
Four Wait until the path is clear of gnomes, and then click!
Five Here are those dreaded red-hatted gnomes. Best to avoid them.
Six Wait until the red gnomes are either firmly at the top or the bottom and then click.
Seven This level is difficult, you are unlikely to clear it using only 1 ball. Your aim is key here.
Eight Wait until a clear shot appears and then click.
Nine Wait until the green gnomes begin walking downward, and then fire.
Ten Wait until a gap appears in the column of gnomes, and then fire.
Eleven Aim low, with your cursor a bit to the right of the center of gnomes.
Twelve Slight variation of your cursor can cause your ball to bounce differently. Wait until the gnomes are walking upwards from the bottom of the screen to throw.
Thirteen This is a timing level. The red-hatted gnomes will form a “gate” when the two lines come together. Throw the ball when the gate it closed, and by the time it gets there the gate will be open.
Fourteen Throw the ball when the gnomes are halfway to the top of the screen.
Fifteen No gnomes, but if your aim is off, the ball will reverse directions and cost you precious time!
Sixteen The gnomes are stationary, as long as your aim isn’t too low, you should have no trouble!
Seventeen A tricky level, all based on timing and luck of how the gnomes will move. Good luck!
Eighteen Luck and timing once again! If you’re good, you can aim the ball straight through the two lines.
Nineteen Quite simple, just bounce the ball off the corner of the pot. Variation will occur based on aim.
Twenty Slight variation will occur depending on how your shot is aimed.
Twenty-one Wait to throw until the gnomes are in the lower half of the screen.
Twenty-two Purely timing! Wait until the gnomes are all on one side of the screen until you throw.
Twenty-three This level seems difficult, but is rather fairly simple. Align your cursor with the top of the plant. Wait until the left column of gnomes starts to move upwards, and then throw.
Twenty-four All about aim. Wait until the green-hatted gnomes have moved from the top of the screen and throw.
Twenty-five Hardest level yet. Wait until the green gnome is in just the right position, and then click. If done properly, the ball will bounce off him and go around the red gnomes. If you can do this level in one ball, then your a true Wingoball champ!

Neopets Time Tunnel is a cool game that can be found at Kreludor. The resistance of agent Gorix has a sealed large vault with a code-based locking mechanism. Of course, you will not have to be a programmer or an engineer to play this game. You actually never know what can be behind the stone door. Gorix wants to know and that’s why he’s there. Neopets Time Tunnel is one of the “special” games that will award a trophy for a specific certain amount of points (being maximum 100th on the high score table).

Game control

Your main objective, in Time Tunnel, is to find a solution to a combination of twelve randomly-generated codes whereas some are from four colored stones. Codes will only be of combinations of white, black, red and blue, at the beginning of the game, as the game goes further, more colors will be added, meaning the game will get a little harder. The colors orange plus the sixth code, the purple and the tenth. This game is about guess. To submit it, you will have to click on four round stones (that are located in the center of the code dial) in order the select the colors you want. After that, press the yellow button of Unlock. It is located on the right of the screen. Note that if your guess is not valid, it will be returned to the outer edge up with four circles next to it. You may be wondering what the circles are. They are stones with colors indication if it is in the right position or not. In addition, white circles mean that a stone is not in the correct color nor in the proper position, the orange circles mean that the said stone is in the correct colors, but in the wrong position. Lastly, the green circles mean that the stone is perfect, meaning it is in the correct color and correct position. On each code, you have twelve tries. After the twelve tries are over, it will be game over and the game will end.

Game Scores & Points

Every time you will receive a code, it will start with a time bonus of 120 points. These points will go lower and decrease every second. That means you have a total of two minutes to solve each code. For example, if you waste 1 second, you will lose 1 bonus point. Losing 5 seconds means losing 5 points and so on. You will receive a total of 25 points for solving a code that has had all of its bonus points lost. Losing bonus point will not end the game, but you will be awarded poorly with points.  If you beat the game, you will receive 200 points. The maximum possible score for this game is 1,940 and 100 people are able to get the golden trophy, simply by achieving this score during any given month. For that, you will have to solve every code in two tries maximum. It will be preferably to do it in one try, although scores above 1,800 points will also reward you with a golden trophy. Remember that this is a luck game and that you will often need to restart it. In a short summary, you have a bonus of 120 points. Every time a second goes to waste, you lose a bonus point. If you have zero bonus points left, you will be awarded with only 25 points upon solving a code. Finishing the game will grant you a total of 200 points.

Neopets Time Tunnel Strategies & Cheats

One of the best strategy out there is to figure out the colors that are in the correct code, then to go finding about their actual positioning at the same time as you are finding the right colors. A good thing to keep in mind is to forget about your score so that you can finish a combination with the peace of mind. You can restart the game later if you’re going after a trophy. Do not pay attention to the remaining time, instead, focus on solving the codes even if the time is running out. The more you play, the better you will become. Keep in mind the colors you have confirmed and introduce new colors at the same time as confirming the locations of the existing ones. This way, you will save a lot of time.

Don’t forget to scratch your head if you’re having a hard time!

 

Neopets Tyrannian Mini Golf is a game where your principal objective is to succeed at getting the ball in the hole. Eighteen times. You are probably saying “O.K. then, I’ll just get the ball into the hole eighteen times, easy.” It is not what you think. The game contains many unforgivable traps like rotating fans, lava pits, trick holes, sand traps, ramps and a time bonus. Actually, the time bonus was added to the game a while after it was released to give more challenge to the hardcore players. Neopets Tyrannian Mini Golf gives you the choice of deciding whether you want to play the first nine holes, the second part containing these nine holes or you can choose to do them all at once. This game is really loved by people who enjoy the art of the Golf. Even if you didn’t have a chance to try it in real life. Whenever you will play it, you will realize how fun it would be if you had to play it in real. Anyways, this game has a maximum score and will display 900, but it is possible to reach over 900. 1350 is the maximum possible score without including time bonuses. By playing this game, you will learn how to become the master of the ball. Just get to try it.

Controls

Basically, during the game play you will, of course, first have to choose the character you will be playing with. Some characters are offered to you. Weak Stroke the Chomby, Perfect Putter the Acara and Hard Hitter the Lupe are the three characters whom you will be able to choose from. A fourth character is also available. It is a secret character. Actually, this player is the Phantom Orange-Shirt Guy and you will be able to play as him by hitting your tab button four times in a row, then hitting the spacebar once. Alternatively, you can click the Lupe’s eye once to use the Phantom Orange-Shirt Guy as your principal character. Any of the two methods described are equally good. When you will successfully choose your character, you will then be brought to choose from three balls. The balls are respectively the dung ball, wood ball and stone ball. Unfortunately, there is no “secret ball”. Know that the principal difference between the dung ball and the stone ball, is their weight. While the dung ball will be extremely light, when it comes to its weight, the stone ball will be completely the opposite, meaning being extremely heavy. The wood ball is a normal ball that is between both. A good advice will be to try them all and then to pick the one you were the more comfortable with. When you have picked a ball, you will be brought to a screen telling you how exactly you would want to play. You have the choice between the front nine holes, the back nine holes or the two mixed together. You will get more play if you decide to play more levels and this is what you should be doing unless you’re really only after NP.

Gameplay

You have waited enough. Now it is time to start. Few information are crucial to know about before starting playing, so read carefully. If you hit the ball only once and it successfully enters the hole, it is called a hole in one. Managing to do this means that you’re a beast. Par is listed on each hole, meaning if doing many “kicks” to make the ball successfully penetrate the hole is called a shot par where “par” is how many it should take you to get the ball into the hole. Another thing you will have to know is the Birdie. The birdie is when you it took you one less “putt” than par for the said hole. Another term you will encounter is called bogey. The par indicates a number. If it takes to you one more “putt” than what the par had listed, it will then be called a bogey. You can, frequently, also do a double bogey. That happens when it takes you two more “putt” more than what the par had listed. If you’re going after the perfection, then all you should consider doing is the hole in one “putt”. You have ten total “putts” to successfully get the ball into the hole. If you fail at doing so, it will be game over. Usually, this game becomes easy in no time. You just have to love it and play (it doesn’t have to be your favorite game to be enjoyable).

Each time you will make a ball enter the hole, you will see your score card. You might be probably a little confused. Let us explain: the card will list each hole or level, whereas under the hole number, it will show what par is for which level. If you look under that, it will show you how many total putts (or strokes) it has taken to you to get the ball inside the hole. Every time you start each hole you will have 30 bonus points, decreasing by 1 point per second. For example, if you lose 15 total seconds, then the remaining points will be: 30 – 15 = 15. 15 total points. That means the bonus is based on time. What is preferable, is that you take the least amount of time possible to finish a hole. If you take more than 30 seconds to finish a said hole, you will not lose the game. You will just not qualify for the varying 30 bonus points. Take into consideration that there is an easter egg on the scorecard. You will have to keep moving your mouse quickly on the Continue button (without clicking) and it will explode. Don’t be fooled and click on the End Game button. Doing so will mean that you will have to start over. Yes, it was done purposely!

During the game, there will be a circle around your ball. Know that if the circle is very big, the ball will be harder to be hit. A red circle will be shown after the “black line”. This will show you the direction that the ball is going to take. Everything will rely on aiming. This is the main aspect of the game. The straighter and faster aim, the better. Keep that in mind. Whenever you have the required strength, hit the ball and it will take the direction you have guided it to. The left mouse button is what you will have to press to make a hit.

Interested information

Take a close and careful look for the hole in the one lava pits that will grant a change to your ball for the second part of the game. Also, note that the water pit, at the bottom left of the screen is a mirage, therefore not existing.

Score and Points

Skip Hole is done after clicking on the bottom right corner to skip a hole. This will give you no points.

Maximum grants you a total of 10 points. The maximum strokes for a hole is 10 and you skip the next hole.

Better Luck Next Time will also award you with 10 points. This is done when you successfully finish the hold in three “ball shots” above the par in under 10 “ball shots”.

Double Bogey will add 10 points to your total and is done by finishing the hole in two shots higher than what the par had indicated.

Bogey gives you 10 points. It is done after finishing the hole in one shot more than what the par had indicated.

Par gives you 15 points. It is the standard number of strokes to finish a said hole. It is located, for each level, at the bottom of the screen.

Birdie will grant you 25 points. It is after you finish a hole in one shot less than what the par had indicated.

Eagle is awarded once you finish the hole in two shots under what the par had indicated, and will grant you 50 points.

Hole In One is the best thing you can do during the game. It will award you 75 points and you will have to get the ball inside the hole in just one shot, which needs a lot of game skills.

Neopets TMG Strategies and Cheats

A good strategy would be to find the best place to aim at because your main objective is to get the ball in the hole, but more preferably in the less possible putts. You will get more holes in one and pars if you use the “best” place you find every time. This will increase your chance to get right shots dramatically because you will be pinpointed the place. Note that it is, in many cases, impossible to get one straight shot right into the hole. The process will need the ball to bounce a little. Another tip is to do some thinking while you play to judge what is the best and whatnot. Imagine yourself playing Golf for real in front of millions of people!

Lastly, smart thinking is the way to go and remember that you will need your bonus points if you’re going after a super rare trophy!

Neopets Bumble Beams is something you will have to know what is exactly about. It is not as easy as you think but once you get to know it, it will be as easy as saying hello. So you start the game with a robot petpet that are lost in a Recycling Center and you have to master the control arrows (buttons) in order to to throw them inside the moving recycling bins. This is why they need your help to do it. All they want is to be able to enter the RoboPet Shop. Of course, you do know that there is some robot petpets that need your help but who are exactly these petpets? Look no further, here are few picture that will help you get a few ideas about what kinds of petpets you will see the game.

 This nice little robot petpet is called the Roburg 3T3. It is a small robot petpet, which also appears in the game room image of the game. So you can see it as the “Game Mascot”.

 That second robot-looking one that is a moving machine is called the GX-4 Oscillabot.

 The Rotawheel looks like a wheel itself and it can be compared to any other robot petpet because all of these petpets are actually doing the same job, dropping stupidly while you have to control them, aren’t they?

The Avabots are somewhat a little different than other. Not because they are rare or anything but they are actually very good at hide & seek. Unfortunately, this game will be limited at seeing them being thrown into recycling bins.

This last little cute petpet is the Millipod A.K.A jellyfish. Don’t mess with him if you don’t want to get electrocuted. He’s better than you at climbing walls and at being slimmy.

As you can see, there is only five robots. It is not really important to know them or to memorize them because they will randomly appear and you only have one job: give them the good directions. Once you play a few games, you will see that this game will be your official passtime and you can show your friends what you’ve achieved. But first, get to know what is inside the game. Here is a simple picture that will make you understand everything clearly.

So that’s right, simple isn’t it? No lies, you will have to practice. But let me tell you something, you will not need anything besides your LEFT ARROW KEY and your RIGHT ARROW KEY. Tilt the beams so they can be throwing in the right place. If you somewhat try to keep a certain petpet on a beam while pressing left and right continuosly, it will be become a pain keeping them there. The more they stay, the harder it will get so you need some fast thinking over there.

In a short summary, the first number you see at the top is the number of petpets saved, then the total petpets that you will have to saving during the level (yes, the more you successfully achieve levels, the more petpets will be added but you should have expected this, right?). The last number is the petpets that have appeared. Let’s say you have controlled a total of seven petpets and that you have only thrown three into recycling bins, even if it’s not a good sign for you (because you may fail the level), the appearing number in parentheses will be 7 and the first number will be 3. Obviously, you know what a level number is and the last part is how many points you have scored. That’s right, if you fail to throw petpets in the recycling bag, it will get harder for you to accumulate points in the later level. If you’re going for a high score, you should pay attention to where exactly you are leading your petpets to.

SCORES & BONUSES

A game without bonuses will be a little boring don’t you think so? If everyone can score the same thing as you then there is no more challenge. For the score part, what you have to know is that each robot petpet that enters successfully in the recycling bin will awards you with five points. However, if you manage to throw him in the centre of the bin, you will be awarded with a multiplier that you will grant you 15 points.

Now the bonuses. During the game, you will find yellow and red stars. The popular ones are the yellows and you award you with 3 extra points to your total. The red ones that are a bit rarer and found in the later levels will give you 10 points. It is better for you to get all the stars if you are going after a high score. Sometimes you will even have to finish the game a few times to be enough lucky with the stars you will encounter. Again, the more red stars, the better.

Another bonus is the green mini-Roburgs. This little robot will give you plus one point to the total number of petpets saved during the game you’re in. Not only that, but you will also be awarded with additional points when the game ends.

There is another mini-Roburgs colored in blue. This one is rarer and will add 3 to the total number of robot petpets saved along with additional points when the game ends. Here is what it looks like.

Basically, now that you know how the game works, you will also need to know what the beams are. You will see, in the game some beams will be hard to manipulate while others, easier. The most common and normal beam will be the one in light blue. It is normal and that’s what you will find the most. The second one that is a bit less popular is the dark blue beam that will tilt a little bit faster than the one above and return to its original position much more faster. Be careful.

The third one is the grey beam. This one is a little ruthless as it will tilt immediately in one direction once a petpet falls on it. You will not be able to control it so you better avoid it if possible. It’s also a lot faster than the first light blue beam. The fourth beam is the wooden or “orange” one. It is slightly different than the others. If you are able to press the arrow aiming to the center fast enough, he will be hold in place. So for example, if a petpet is going to drop to the left side, press the right arrow quickly. If a petpet is going to drop to the right side, press the left arrow quickly. Simple, eh?

The last “beam” is the spring beam. This one will require some luck to get you what you want. Once your petpet lands on it, the beam will throw him into the air. You might be wondering why would I want to throw the petpet and risk to lose it? Well, the good part is that if the petpet stays on it for roughly 3 seconds, it will fall directly into a random bin afterwards. The chance of this are slim to none, so be careful. If you’ve got a perfect score to the round you’re presently at, you should avoid it unless it has stars or mini-Roburgs near them. You will also have to be very careful because the spring beams are one use only and will not reappear. So don’t miss it.

STAGES

During the game, you will face a total of three stages that will grow more difficult as you progress.

The Sorter is the first stage of the game and it is not that hard. You can handle it with minimum efforts and base knowledge of the game. The speed is average. You need to successfully throw in bins about half the petpets you will get to control and you will encounter most of the “easier” beams.

The Grinder is the second named stage. This is where it becomes a little of a challenge because of the increased speed of the petpets. The grey beams will there become smaller, the dark blue, orange ones and spring beams ones will become more slippery. So you will have to be a little more careful.

The Incinerator is the last part of the game and this is where you will find things getting harder. Here the petpets will know the danger they are in and will start moving and spinning wildly to the sides, becoming harder to control. You will need some game mechanics there. Not only that, but the bins will be moving much faster and since the robot petpets are harder to control, you will need to know what you’re doing.

Neopets Bumble Beams Cheats

-It is possible to drop the petpet on the left side or on the right one hoping it to fall in a lucky bin. It will not always work and this tip is for amateurs, but if you are skilled enough and going after a high score you should not count on this.

-In the early rounds of a single level, you can drop the petpets in bins that are alternating. You can only do this for one petpet in a level. This way whenever you will be waiting for a free bin, you can avoid juggling a petpet.

-You will get to know this tip by yourself, it’s about pressing left and right quickly to hold a petpet on one beam. The petpet will then start moving faster and it will be harder for you to control it. This can help you save some time when you wait for a free bin to appear.

-Another trick is to wait until a petpet is completely at the edge of a beam, then press the opposite directing arrow to push it further. This will make the petpet drop straight down.

TROPHIES

If you’re going after the golden trophy, you should expect some time of playing to understand the game perfectly and get to know its mechanics. You will have to get all stars and mini-Roburgs during the game. You may also have to complete the game few times to get lucky enough with red stars and mini-Roburgs.

Same thing applies for the silver trophy but if you’re lucky enough you will be able to get without having to get all of the mini-Roburgs possible. Just by completing the most levels of the game and losing the minimum of petpets possible.

The bronze trophy is good for those who can not avoid making mistakes but are relatively soso at the game.

It’s better to aim at the golden trophy at the beginning of the month or even at the first day of it because the tables will be reset and it will be easier to get these.

Good luck!
