Critter Crunch

[deepbrown]

You can actually see our rankings in the online leaderboards.

I finally got the coveted (by me at least) best dad in the world trophy yesterday night. Incidentally, there is one level that seems bugged - you can feed your son there but the icon stays gray. Anyone else have that problem? It meant I had to feed my son on one of the tougher end levels instead.

I also managed to miss that you can actually see which critter will drop your bonus item! That's rather helpful in a lot of cases, and I can't believe I only discovered it now.

You mean you missed the obvious flashing and the jingling sound?

Just whipped player ranked 7's ass.

I'm ranked 117 for Adventure mode.

Jeebus, I'm not playing with you !!

Will check the leaderboard to see where B3Ders stand. I have most of you here.

I hate the blockers.

Yes, yes. Saw your challenge invitation. Good thing I was working. ^_^

How do I go into Tutorial.

When I go to Options, all it does is to turn on/off Tutorial. How do I go to the "Combo" chapter ?

Lazy! I can't remember, but it's in there.

Not lazy. Confused. LOST !

Just battle me and everything in the world will melt away.

^^ Hey deep, I couldn't use any of my special powers against you cos I didn't know how to engage them. Only just come across them (Garlic, Spray-can etc.) in Adventure mode.

Next time buddy, next time...

 

[patsu]

Yeah ph*ck, someone explain the difference between Combo and Chain to me

I also need to find out how to switch powers (Garlic, Spray can, water melon, hmm... what else) ? I know it's [] to activate.

That's what big bad wolf said to the little pigs. I'm not falling for it until I finish my Adventure Mode.

EDIT: Out with it ! Were you a beta tester for the game ?

 

[JPT]

To switch between powers use R1 or was it L1, any ways one of those to.

As for combo vs chain, you would get a better explanation from the tutorials

 

[Arwin]

Difference between combo and chain is really easy. A chain is the basic thing when for instance a bigger monster eats a smaller monster automatically or all neighboring colors of the critter you popped disappear, etc.

A combo is when another chain is set off before the combo meter has run out, either because you set off a chain manually really fast after the previous one, or because the disappearing critters cause gaps between critters that eat each other automatically when that gap closes.

Didn't know about the combo meter.

or because the disappearing critters cause gaps between critters that eat each other automatically when that gap closes.

Okay, yes.. this I guessed.

I've just started playing this. It's turning out to be good fun, and just little more-ish!

 

[patsu]

I like the Adventure Mode standard play and the puzzles.

I am weak in Time Challenge. Most of the time I didn't, still don't, know how I cleared them. Usually fail many times until a lucky arrangement allows me to get ahead of the score.

I have no idea how deepbrown has time to arrange the critters for large combos. There's where I'm stuck now. Can't create 4 combos in 75 seconds. Skipped it and trying the remaining stages first.

EDIT: I also found the Tutorial. It's on the very first menu (Under Help). I usually go into game mode by pressing X repeatedly. Didn't even see the first screen. My bad !

Heh, they finally fixed the difficulty. I can go back and complete the game now:
