Family Not Required

23 May

Image

The last few levels of Farm Heroes was tough. But as always, with patience and perseverance, I would overcome the challenge. It took a while to overcome Level 190 and I thought I would require the hubby, M1 and the Roo to send me tickets. But guess what? They were not required!

The secret to this is, along the way, beat Rancid the raccoon by getting at least two stars to obtain the key to unlock the next chapter. So as soon as I achieved the stars, three farm animals automatically show up and tadaa! I’d breeze pass. Quite pleasant I must say as this is the first time, I did not have to enlist the family or friends for help. I am not complaining but satisfying, that’s all.

Oh No! A Glitch!

16 May
Image

See the up-down scroll arrow, on the left?

Image

up-down arrow appears again at a different spot!

I have come to the end of Biscuit Bungalow. Level 575 was not that difficult. Thinking that I could move on, on the laptop to the next chapter, I thought I would have to ask for tickets but alas, I could not do so!

There seems to be a glitch on the laptop as I cannot click on the ticket platform. Every spot I try to place the mouse at, an up-down scroll arrow appears instead! Oh no!

Luckily the next day, the glitch was fixed on the laptop and with tickets arriving, I have progressed on to Gummy Gardens. Yay.

Suckered In

15 May

I was stuck at Level 566 in Candy Crush for so long that I contemplated giving up. Go back to my retired status from the game. However, the app updated last Thursday for the iPad and I got suckered in yet again.

But amazingly, last weekend proved to be fruitful. The horrible Level 566 was overcomed and I have breezed along on the iPad. I am now at Level 575, the end of the Biscuit Bungalow chapter. Looks like if I want to carry on, it’s back to the laptop as the game has another chapter in Facebook. And I might just do that because Farm Heroes has hit a snag at Level 245. Cuteness is lost with time bombs here! And these time bombs are meaner than those in Candy Crush. I am not amused.

Hitting the Jackpot

9 May

ImageImage

I confess. Besides Candy Crush, Zookeeper Battle and Farm Heroes, I play the Jackpot in Facebook. A year ago, I decided to chase the game’s leaders and try to break into the top 50 in the world. Why? Just to test myself and see if I could do it. I figured if other Facebook users can have their names on the list, why not me? So diligently, I would spin the jackpot every single day without fail. Days when I travel, I’d enlist the girls to help just spin the wheel for me. It’s almost a crazy obsession but the key was to be constant on a daily basis.

So a year ago, I was trailing the 50th player listed by 4 million. Yes, I kept a tracker! A gargantuan task but I have been chipping into the gap consistently, slowly but surely. And you know what? Exactly a year later, two days ago, I broke into the Top 50! Yeehaw….

It feels great when you have achieved something. Persistence does pay.

One Step Ahead

28 Apr

Image

I have been crushing candies on the sly. Heheheh… In between battling zoo animals and getting frustrated by the horrid raccoon and annoying rabbit in Farm Heroes, Candy Crush has provided some comfort.

Three weeks ago, I completed the Jelly Wagon chapter in Facebook on the laptop and had to wait for tickets. Thankfully, one week later, the game updated for the iPad. But I am one step ahead of it—like the previous update—I had completed the chapter before the update came around for the iPad.

So what basically happens on the iPad is just my avatar leapfrogging to the end of the chapter without any candies being crushed. I could back-track to earn more stars or just continue on the laptop.

Halted March

25 Apr

Right after I trumpeted my victory over Rancid the Raccoon at Level 173, I progressed on without much problems. Then I hit a snag at Level 181. It’s one tough challenge but patience and strategy resulted in victory albeit shortlived! Boo hoo…

I now face the dastardly annoying rabbit again at Level 182. It would sneak up and snatch the carrots before I could attempt to accumulate the 24 carrots required! Ugh… looks like I am facing a halted march. Maybe I should pray for tickets to come for my Candy Crush and get back to crushing some candies for a change.

Rancid the Raccoon Reeks!

22 Apr

Image

Yes, Rancid the raccoon in Farm Heroes Saga reeks. It took me the longest thus far to overcome Level 173. Even with magic beans, I could not do it but patiently, with some strategizing and wit, I finally beat the nasty raccoon! Onwards I march in my farming quest.

They Must Have Heard Me

10 Apr

Right after I complained and wrote about the problems I was facing in Farm Heroes Saga, King.com came up with an update! Bwahahaha… They heard me or must have for this new version proves to be good and okay! I can launch the game and play without a hitch. Thank you!

Life as a farmer goes on.

Farm Under Seige!

8 Apr

Farm Heroes Saga had an update recently for the iPad and it’s crappy. Something is not right as my iPad Mini has become so unstable with this version, it keeps crashing. The situation has gotten worse from the initial launch and click of the level I am at before crashing to simply just crash upon launch. Eeesh. Annoying! I have not tended my farm on my iPad for two consecutive days already.

So yeah, my farm is under seige and King.com had better take note of this and fix it soon. Otherwise, the happy looking cropsies will not be happy with my absence from the farm. I could try to play in Facebook at the office, but I have to work too… sometimes.

Of Fruits, Animals and Candies

4 Apr

Candy Crush has finally updated on the iPad! What this means is I can alternate between my three games, Candy Crush, Farm Heroes and Zookeeper Battle on just one device and not fight with the girls for the laptop.

Farm Heroes was just so difficult at Level 157, I almost gave up but persistency and patience paid off. But having landed at 160 is not easy either. Sigh…

As for Candy Crush, this new chapter has new challenges. No tornadoes but candies on a rail track that moves with each move on top of time bombs! Am at Level 534 for a while now. I wonder if I should change my retired status for Candy Crush now that I am back in the race. Hmm…

And what can I say about Zookeeper Battle? I love the game!
