NP 2B Won: None
So then why should I play this: This is actually my favourite of the three multiplayer games. It's pretty entertaining
Who Cares About that!: If you become good (Like me, defeated once of the twenty times I've played it. Thank you, Thank you, hold the applause) you can participate in Tournaments that could win you up to 20,000 NP if you win
Drawback: You might click on a host who never shows up. Or they are a poor sport and they know you are going to win so they cancel the game. I hate it when that happens. My advice, always host your own game
Skill Level: You must be able to be patient. This game will take about twenty to thirty minutes, time pending
Tip: Don't try to bomb, just concentrate on building. Try to use as little space as possible

--Ice Cream Factory--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This game is dreadfully easy, but you need to get a lot of points in order to even get 500 NP.
My main tip is this: If your mouse acts up on you, skip this game, because the mouse means everything. Also, when the Ice Cream Scoops are getting shot at you, if you ever see a Dark Blue Scoop with a minus sign in it, get it. This slows down the scoops, which is a great help in the later levels. Also grab the Scoops with Hearts, which give you extra lives, though they are rare, and the Yellow/Fuchsia scoop with a Little Chia in it, which makes you smaller, another really good help later on. Also grab the Gold Scoop, which automatically sends you to the next level.
The Warehouse is the Tricky part. The Purple Boxes give you 10 Points, a good help, but if you have to go off the beaten path to get them, skip them. Don't clump boxes together, or they won't be able to move. This nearly ended my game once. Concentrate on going on the right side of the Warehouses, because boxes can only be pushed up or right.
In this game, however many Points you get is divided by four (Eek!) so you need to get 2000 just to get 500.

--Swarm--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This is one of those games that I will only play if I need Neopoints desperately, or I just want to go spend a few Neopoints and don't want to use the ones I have, so I'll win some easy ones.
Why this game has a medium star, I'll never know
-Swarm! is just like Space Invaders, only slower and bigger, so if you're good at Space Invaders, you'll be good at this, all though Space Invaders is soooooo much better then this
- There are about six or seven colored (Not Green) Spaceships that will give you power-ups or disadvantages. Some give faster or smaller ship, some give an extra shield or rebuild the towers, others give you a slower and bigger ship
- Use the towers. Dart behind them then dart out and fire
-Forget trying to shoot the blue thing that flies across the screen. It's too fast and too small
- The score is not divided. Whatever score you get when you lose all of your shields is the Neopoints you will get
- Shields equal health. Three Hits and you're history
You can try this and see if you like it. Like I said, if I wanted some Guilty/Pleasure Neopoints, I'd play this game.

--Foods of the Lost Desert--

Comments- No one should have to buy anything from this shop EVER because of that wonderful egg we call omelette. So therefore, all food shops are worthless
