PTERATTACK is "Pterrific"

by Mikau_0 and his owner, hobbit000

NeoPets' great new game to go along with their great new Pet. Waves of new games are opening along with Tyrannia, and PTERATTACK is one of the best yet. If you thought Chia Bombers was addictive, then you haven't seen anything yet. PTERATTACK makes you a tiny green Pteri in a cruel world. You have to defend yourself from other flying pets and evil Grarrls. This is some advice for those who are itching for a higher score in PTERATTACK.

1) You start out with what seems like a pretty weak Pteri-shooter. On Easy mode, two shots need to take down a one-point bird. You can change your gun with blue or green circles, or you can upgrade your gun with a red circle. Don't be so eager to get rid of your Pteri-shooter, because the upgrades for it are fantastic. First, the Pteri-blaster. These shots are stronger, and take down one-pointers in one shot. If you're lucky, you'll have the HealingSpringSpecial (HSS) by the end of level 1. The HSS delivers longer shots, and can destroy more birds with one shot than it's lower cousins. Sure, the HSS is great for the beginning levels, but once you move up, you'll want an upgrade. Along with more red circles come fatter and longer shots from your gun. The MidwayBlast, the Mutilation Ray ... and the Brain Scrambler, an awesome weapon for the later levels. More power-ups still await you, so my advice is to stick with your little Pteri-shooter!

2) Pesky Grarrls getting in your way? I learned early on that it would be very unwise to try and shoot a Grarrl from behind, because he'll just stop running and smack you, causing you to lose a life. If the Grarrl comes up the middle, quickly pick one side to go to, and stay away from that side until the Grarrl passes.

3) The first two levels can be considered warm ups for the levels to come. The third level can be pretty tricky, so you need fast hands. Green birds, worth three points, dart quickly by. Either get in front of them and blast them, or get out of the way! This is where your gun power-ups can come in handy. The fourth level is a place where I lost my lives often. Dark blue birds, four points each, fly across the screen, from left to right. They're moving pretty slow, but don't be fooled. Their tough to destroy with a less-powerful gun, and they're almost transparent, so they blend into the background. I would now suggest staying to the right side of the screen, so you can see the blue birds earlier. Train yourself to keep your eyes going from the top of the screen to look out for the normal birds, to the right to look out for the blue ones, and to the bottom for the Grarrls Level five makes it even tougher on your eyes, as five-point light green birds swoop down from the right. You can get trapped easily between light green birds, dark blue birds, Grarrls from behind, and birds from up front, so keep on your toes (Or talons, since you're a bird)!
