(webmaster's fave!)
There are only a few tips I can give...it's a fairly simple game
- If you see a lot of blocks that you can group together...do it. You can get more points if you destroy a lot together instead of in groups of two or three
- You will receive bonus points after you finish and send your score

--Dice-A-Roo--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

Comments: Quite possibly the best Luck Game out there. You probably won't win more than 30 NP here, but you can also win Faeries, Food, and other Random objects. If you can make it to the green or Yellow, this is where all of this occurs...of course, the silver die isn't bad either...but I've never gotten it before.
Cheat: Supposedly, a LUCKY DIE helps you get farther in DAR. I had one for a long time, and never noticed any difference in how a played DAR...in fact, I got the farthest without using the dice. I logged on, went straight to DAR and got to the yellow die. Won an Earth Faerie.

Pure and total luck. It's hard to rate a game like this because it doesn't really fit the criteria. All in all, I would not recommend playing this game. Too much luck involved to do well. Nice premise, but to much luck.

--Dubloon Disaster--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This is the souped up Meerca Chase, and it proves that what was good is best left alone. The major complaint? Too many mines. You have to get them to run into each other, or by the tenth dubloon, there will be way to many to contend with. Not only that, but you can get more points on Meerca Chase, so stick with it.

--Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

Well, I forced myself to play this game, I have to admit. I thought I would hate it. But in reality, Neopets dished out a fairly good game (Equally surprising in lieu of their cancellation of two of the better games on Neopets, and their pointless changing of one of the best games). You shoot the Fuzzles and the bombs. WHAT, pray tell, could be easier than that...okay, some stuff, I'll admit, but the game is so simple, and best of all, no stupid "The amount of points you get is divided by two to get your Neopoints total".
Only...two slight drawbacks that prevent me from giving it four stars. One, the bombs. Its hard enough to shoot all of the Fuzzles, but adding in the bombs which are so small and move so fast makes it harder to go farther. I don't know, maybe that's what they wanted. Two, the NeoCredits. I like the idea of buying upgrades, and the amount of points you score in one round becomes kind of like money, but you should always, ALWAYS, buy the gun upgrade, but its so hard to get enough money to buy a gun upgrade and something else, that it renders the NeoCredits idea pointless and removable
