Ice Cream Machine Neopets

507-vj98rjiIce Cream Machine is a fast-paced game where you play as a cute chia named Adee. Yes, “Cute Chia” is generally an oxymoron, but I like to think that Adee is the one exception. Basically, the premise of Ice Cream Machine is that you are Adee, and having some crazy dreams about killer ice cream! And by “killer” I don’t mean delicious. If Adee gets hit by these ice cream scoops she eventually dies. Who knew Neopets could be so morbid? Anyway, the goal is to move Adee around the screen and avoid hitting the melty gobs of dairy goodness. There are, however, scoops that you can hit. These ones won’t kill Adee. In fact, they’ll give her a power up! Ice Cream Machine Neopets is a very popular game that offers three different trophies and an avatar!trophies


Ice Cream Machine Basics

contestant383So my lofty introduction didn’t scare you away? Great! Guess you’re taking this seriously enough to learn the basics. First things first: in each level you will face a different flavour of ice cream. As each level progresses, they begin to increase in speed, and quantity. It’s your job to dodge them any way you can. When you successfully dodge a scoop, it will exit through the top of the screen and be added to your final score. You start out with 3 lives. Hitting an ice cream scoop will take one away. But don’t fret! You can earn lives back, along with many other power-ups. This will be explained more in depth later on in the guide. Lastly, to control Adee, all you have to do is move your mouse around the screen.

The Inside Scoop on Scoops

n507-1957579Below are helpful guides that will tell you everything you need to know about the different scoops that you encounter in the game! Learn these before playing, so you can be prepared.


Ice Cream Machine Power-Ups

Every power-up in Ice Cream Machine can be a good power-up. It all depends on the type of situation you are in. For example, a speed increase might seem bad to some people, but if you have quick reflexes, it helps the levels go by quicker. To reap the rewards of these scoops, you must allow them to crash into you. This might throw you off, but just make sure you’re ONLY crashing into the power-up scoops.

screenshot_thumbnail_507_2_v1In addition, some of the power-ups stack, and some cancel each other out. A good example is the speed increasers and speed decreasers. The more increasers/decreasers you pick up, the faster/slower the ice cream scoops will go. Of course, they do eventually wear off, so don’t expect the power-ups to last forever. Typically, they will last a few seconds.

The ones that do not stack with other power-ups, and can be cancelled out, are the size ups and size downs. While picking up multiple of these will cause you to continue to shrink smaller, and smaller, or larger, and larger, if you pick up any other power ups during this time, you will go back to your original size. The only exception to this is the shield. Your shield remains for 5 seconds. When it starts to deteriorate it will turn red, so make sure that you are in a safe zone as soon as you notice the color change.

Ice Cream Machine Positioning

UntitledIf you want to score a lot of points, you will need to perfect your positioning. That is the most important skill to learn while playing this game. The best place to have Adee is in the dead center of the page, anywhere in the red circle that I’ve put around Adee. This position gives you the maximum space to move freely and dodge. In the middle you are far away from the ice creams, but not too close to the top of the screen, and also won’t get boxed in by the right and left edges.  If you do happen to get yourself cornered, there is a solution that occasionally works, but not always. Use this technique only if you will lose a life otherwise. First, move your cursor off of the game screen. Then, bring it back on the screen, into a safe spot away from ice creams. It’s possible that Adee will jump from her prior location to that one. As was said before, this doesn’t work all the time. But sometime’s it’s a better bet than facing some incoming scoops.


Ice Cream Machine Neopets Avatar

icecreammachine-4603376

To get the avatar for this game, you must send a score of more than 14,500. You can achieve this by finishing all of the levels, and collecting at least one point over the minimum points you can earn. This is easy, because it’s practically impossible to not collect bonuses throughout the levels.


Neopets Ice Cream Machine Cheats

To send you off, here are some useful tips that will help improve your game play:1165

  • Using speed decreaser power-ups can cause back ups with ice cream scoops that are impossible to dodge
  • There is generally no benefit to increasing Adee’s size. Try to avoid this power-up if you can
  • Using the strawberry bomb increases the amount of time you must spend playing the game, as you do not receive any points from the cleared scoops
  • Speed increases can help decrease your time spent playing, as long as you are comfortable enough to dodge.

Neopets-Cheats.com does not endorse playing around in ice cream factories, or dumping scoops of the product on your face.

Neopets Geos

Neopets Geos is similar to a game you may have grown up punching your little brother over: Battleship. Neopets Geos is one of the few multiplayer games on Neopets.com. Now, instead of punching Billy in the arm, you can send 27 piles of dung to that Neopets user who creamed you harder than Grandma’s thanksgiving potatoes. The goal of the game is to build four shapes on the board before you opponent can. You have the option of playing for fun, or participating in the monthly tournament. The Geos tournament is the only way for you to potentially win 10,000 neopoints and a shining golden trophy (there’s also a silver and bronze option if you have low standards) to decorate your userlookup.

Getting Started

To start playing Geos, you need to either go through the games room or go to Sakhmet. Finding Sakhmet is pretty easy. Just go The Lost Desert and head towards the big city that isn’t in ruins (looking at you, Qasala). Hard to miss. Once you’re there, there’s a lot of little shops, so it might be hard to see. Luckily for you, I’ve marked it on a map so it’s easy to see.

Untitled

And there you have it! Once you walk into the Geos stall, you are taken to the Multiplayer Game Lobby. From here, you can choose one of the following options:

Untitled

  • Show Hosts. This will take you to a screen that shows games being hosted by other Neopians,
  • Host Your Own. If you’re feeling like taking initiative, host your own game! This option lets you create your own game for others to join.
  • Invite a Neofriend. Play 1 on 1 with your closest pal!

Now, that’s all just casual play. If you wanna get really serious—winning a trophy and all that—then you can partake in the Monthly Multiplayer Competitions. It’s a bit of a mouthful, I know. But believe me. It’s worth it.

  • UntitledFind Out More. This will take you to a page that explains all of the prizes, and allows you to sign up for the next competition (Usually this will be on the first of every month). In addition, there’s also a link to the multiplayer games rules, and an FAQ. To enter into the competition, you must choose a game (which in this case would be Geos) and a time to play in NST.
  • High Scores. Fairly straight forward. Clicking this allows you to see the top scores for all Multiplayer games.

Shapes

One of the most important things to understand about Neopets Geos is that there are four shapes that you can place on your board. Remember that you can only place one game piece at a time. Therefore, it’s best to finish one shape before moving onto another.

As you can see above, your shapes can be positioned any way that you’d like. Pretty simple!

Playing the Game

UntitledMuch like Battleship, you can start your turn by choosing to place a game piece or “bomb” your opponent. Since the goal of the game is to build all of your shapes before your opponent, the best strategy is to prioritize shape building over bombing. Your opponents game pieces are hidden, so don’t expect bombing to be easy.

Placing your pieces is pretty simple. Click on a spot on the grid, and a piece will show up. However, as the game progresses this gets more difficult. When you complete a shape, it will appear faded, as seen in the picture to the left. The same thing will happen for your opponent. If you try to place a piece where your opponent has a completed shape, you will be forced to miss a turn. Thus, it is a good idea to place your pieces in a way that you can easily switch positions or start a new shape. This is also a good tactic if you happen to get bombed.

Bombing successfully (hitting your opponent’s piece) will have one of two results:

1. You will miss your turn. This happens if you happen to hit a piece that is from a complete “set.” In this guide, we have referred to complete sets as complete shapes.

2. You will destroy your opponent’s piece. This can happen only with incomplete pieces. Doing this will allow you to find another place to put yours, or you can place it into the spot that you bombed.

usere-7457811Bombing can be a great strategy in specific situations. If you want to place a piece in a spot that your opponent has occupied, bombing might be a good idea. However, it’s best to only do this if you have no where else to put your piece. Another situation in which bombing is beneficial is if you are falling behind. Keep bombing until you find a spot that your opponent is building on, and then proceed to destroy the whole shape (cue evil laugh). Remember that bombing will not win you the game. It is only something to help you get ahead. Always prioritize making your shapes. Bombing relies more on luck than strategy, so it can be very risky, and often without reward.

Once you win the game, all pieces will be displayed. Thanks to this guide, you can beat up your brother without any nagging feeling about how you lost that Geos game against him last week.

“That’s right, Billy! Put your dukes up! I read a guide on Neopets-Cheats.com that taught me how to beat you EVERY time!”

“But I bombed you!”

“Yeah, well, you should always prioritize shape building! Noob!”
