Comments: Same as Deckball- Hard controls, difficult steering, and complete nonsense. Another Skipable Game.
If you want a better game like this...well...there really isn't one. My advice is just not to play this game. Too complicated and too annoying

--Chia Bomber--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This is a fairly challenging game. It'll take some time to get a high score, but here are some hints and tips:
- When playing CB with coloured Chias (Not Green) Try to get rid of the green first. One hit will kill them
- Don't be afraid to use the mines. What I do is plant them all on the lower section. Even if a Black or Gold Chia hits them, they die instantly. This is a great help
- Don't EVER stand in front of a Chia after Round 2. If you stand in front of one for too long, they will shot you and SPLAT -- you're dead. Try to shot from the sides or from behind
- Three Hits and the game is over, so try to know when to run and when to stand your ground
- Your score is divided by two, so 1000 Points Equals 500 Neopoints

--Pterattack--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

- The Neopets Team absolutely butchered this game. It was really good, but now it's slow, and you hardly ever get a weapons upgrade which makes it difficult to get points
- Red orb - Laser Gun Weapon
- Blue Orb - Spreader Weapon
- Green Orb - Some type of weapon
- Flashing Red - Strange Weapon
- What I do is If I get a powerful enough gun, I just fly down to the lower right corner and shoot the translucent blue and green Pteri's as they come down. That's sending my score up 12 and 15 points every time, a wonderful help, and they keep coming.
- When the Blue Pterodactyl's start flying across the screen, get to the right side to allow yourself time to escape
- Try to keep the Solid Red because it is the most powerful and can be upgraded the most times. When you get the final Red Orb weapon, it fills up half of the screen (Vertically) with a blast. Nice.
- Don't concentrate on the Orange, Light Blue, or White Dactyl's. They're too fast. Go for the Green, Trans. Blue, and Trans. Green. They are the right speed and give enough points for you to just sit back and press the space bar and watch your point's rise
- Avoid the Grarrl. When you hear the laugh, fly away from where you once were
- If you can't get to a Pteri don't worry about it. Just let it go.
The Neopets team once had a really good game. It was called Pterattack. Now it just sucks.
I do not recommend this

--Whack-A-Beast--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This is one of my favourite Games because of the easiness level. In other words, you can just sit back and watch the Neopoints pile up
Here are some tips:
- Blue and Yellow Beasts are the bests, but in the later levels, they are very rare. Blue gives you 10 points, and Yellow gives 3, both a great help.
- It's okay to hit an occasional Quiggle or JubJub, because they only take away one point, but if you hit the Kacheek, start smacking the beasts, because you've just lost ten points.
- The Red Beasts give one point, and Green gives two. These are the most common Beasts, and in the later levels, they are all you can find.
- After you've scored 200 points, the Beasts are going to pop up then pop down. They won't stay up very long, so be ready to smack any circular looking thing
-The Total score is divided by two, so 500 Points equals 250 Neopoints
