| Interested in earning quick neopoints? Or winning a cool avatar or a fetching
trophy? Or maybe you just feel like pelting a couple of snowbeasts with snowballs?
Take your pick and let's get started! It's Grundo Snowthrow!
Here I have tried to explain everything I know and have learnt so far about
Grundo Snowthrow to people who think it's boring and too hard to play. I hope
the following tips and pointers help you master the game. So let's get started
shall we?
The Game: Do you have a good arm? A good aim? Well here's a game for
you. Grundo Snowthrow is a short and simple game where there is a series of
snowball fights between Grundos and the snowbeasts, where you control a group
of Grundos, the target are the snowbeasts of course. As the game progresses
the levels get harder try to be accurate and quick.
Scoring System: 300 neopoints per 100 game points. For every round you
complete you are rewarded with 5 game points, for every round you complete in
less than 15 seconds you are rewarded with 5 bonus points. Your accuracy is
added to the score too. The yellow snowbeast carries a bonus of two game points.
Controls: Use the mouse to control the Grundo, of course you can only
control one Grundo at a time, press and drag on the Grundo to move the Grundo,
to throw a snowball press and release on the Grundo to throw a snowball. The
strength meter determines the strength of the throw The longer you hold the
mouse button down the higher the strength meter rises and farther the snowball
goes causing more damage.
Payout: Just getting that accuracy points will get you a score of about
100 and since Grundo Snowthrow triples your score when it's converted into Neopoints,
that's 300 neopoints in one game right there. Plus, it's a really quick game
and convenient for those who can't stay on long.
Levels: Every level of the game you have three Grundos in the lower
right of the snow battle field, the level ends only when either the snowbeasts
or the Grundos are knocked down and are out of the fight.
Requirement: A skillful person who is quick and can keep the Grundos
from being hit and at the same time accurately hit the snowbeasts. You also
need lots of practice and patience.
So there, now that you know how the game works, let's move on to some handy
tips that will help you master this challenging game.
Tip 1 - Make sure you use only one Grundo at a time to hit the snowballs
because it only gets more complicated if you use two or all three of them at
the same time as you can only control one Grundo at a time. This way when one
Grundo is knocked down you have two other perfectly healthy Grundos by your
side.
Tip 2 - Now when you use one Grundo make sure to move the remaining
two Grundos out of the line of fire. I would suggest you to move them all the
way to the left of the game screen.
Tip 3 - The first three levels are the easiest, here try to knock down
the snowbeasts in less than 15 seconds to win 5 bonus points for every round
you finish in less than 15 seconds.
Tip 4 -Also for the first three or four rounds I would suggest you to
try and hit a series of low powered snowballs real fast rather than hitting
high powered snowballs which makes it a bit slower. This way you can reduce
the chance of the snowbeasts throwing the snowballs back at your Grundos. (Remember
once hit with a snowball, they will stunned for up to five seconds but not completely
knocked down.)
Tip 5 - Do not hit snowballs at a snowbeast when it is temporarily stunned,
the snowball will only go past the stunned snowbeast without hitting it and
this way your accuracy points can be reduced.
Tip 6 - Accuracy is the key, make sure you have an accuracy of 90% or
more. Question here is how to be accurate as the levels get harder? Again make
sure the extra Grundos are away from the line of fire and while fighting against
several snowbeasts always fight them from the left of the screen and then move
on to the right as it reduces the chance of your Grundos being hit.
Tip 7 - Ever seen a yellow snowbeast? Well they carry a secret bonus
of two game points.
Tip 8 - You start off with round one which has one snowbeast, round
two has two, round three has three and so on, however when you complete round
seven after knocking down all seven snowbeasts, in round eight you again start
off with one snowbeast but it does get difficult to knock them down easily.
Key here is high powered snowballs.
Tip 9 - Make sure the game is set on low quality and choose a screen
size of 1024x768, Why? low quality makes it a bit faster and bigger screen is
just for better viewing. (Both aren't too important but have helped me win a
trophy.)
Tip 10 -Not interested in winning the Grundo Snowthrow avatar or the
trophy? You just want to make some quick neopoints? Well then this game is perfect
for you! All you need to do is complete the first round and let your Grundos
die in the second round all this can be done in less than 45 seconds. (How do
I know? Well I timed myself.) 100% accuracy would mean 100 game points, for
completing round one and reaching round two you get 5 * 2 = 10 game points and
for completing a round in less than 15 seconds you get 5 game points add them
all up 100 + 10 + 5 = 115, multiply it by 3 since your score is tripled when
it's converted into neopoints so there congratulations you have won yourself
345 neopoints in half a minute. Now wasn't that easy to do? Play this game three
times a day and you can make 1000+ neopoints in less than ten minutes.
Remember, key here is accuracy, speed and practice and let us not forget good
timing. So good luck. Take your pick and start throwing! Help the Grundos fight
back!!!
