Non-Disney Online Games SmallWorld - New build is online!

No you cant outrun them, what you do is jump diagnal to get around him on the sides of the screen then jump diagnal toward the middle (over his head) to change directions, then shoot shoot shoot until he is all lit up blue.

When you say jump diagonal, can you say specifically what you mean?
Also, do you go around clockwise or counterclockwise? Could you perhaps show your route on a picture of the screen? TY so much!

You can outrun the snake if you are going left to right (as the "ground" is moving too) but not when you are going right to left.

Posted questions about running tournament on the Forums. Someone replied confirming very similar to what I said above.

You get the entry fees.
You provide the prizes.
He also said the following regarding prize distribution: "You set the prize and the entry fee, you also select whether you want winner takes all, where the 1st place winner gets all the prize tokens, OR, you select the other option and it will split the prize tokens among the top 3 scores, where 1st place gets most, 2nd is second most, and 3rd place is the least."

Back to the snake......grrrr.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day!

Thank you both very much

Thanks for investigating that for me Dreams. Just a couple of more hours and we'll know for sure if I'm going to be the first person in SW to declare bankruptcy!

Also, thanks everyone for the recommended solutions to my guestbook problem. I did test it for myself and if you block people from "using" the guestbook then they can neither read nor add a comment to it. I added to Days' guestbook feature request thread in the SW forums.

can anyone help me? I've been trying to get into smallworlds all day. Every way I try to get to it, I keep getting the message " this site cannot be found" or something similar. I had the home page linked to my favorites, but that didn't work either. I shut down and restarted my computer, logged off, followed links, did a search. I don't know what else to try. Help me Obi-wan... you're my only hope!

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

I STILL can't get past Crazy Ape!

I'm not a techie person, but the things I try when i think it might be on my end. Go to the internet browsers tool and clean out your history cache. Make sure nothing else is running. Type in the url directly (www.smallsworlds.com). I remember someone mentioning trying the direct link to your space, which I think might be for you www.smallworlds.com/home/maylady/
Also, it says on your avatar that you last logged in 2 hrs ago, which would put it right about noon pacific time. Maybe one of your attempts did get you in, but was taking a long time to load up on your screen. Give it time maybe.

Good luck!!

You can outrun the snake if you are going left to right (as the "ground" is moving too) but not when you are going right to left.

The way I beat the first two snakes is:
as soon as you can move, run to the far left of your screen and jump up to the top level, then run straight across to the right side. (You run faster when you're not shooting, so don't shoot yet.) Quickly turn around and hold the space bar to rapid shoot. Move to the right when possible. He comes very close to you, but turns full blue right before he reaches you.
(Wish someone had told me I needed to run into the snake after it turns blue to kill it - I can't tell you how long I ran from that stupid snake the first time I played!)
You can beat the third snake the same way, but it's more difficult because you have the purple ghosts coming in from the right.

The twitter object might be a way to share text without other people messing it up pete.

I have one in my room, but havent done much with it.

Bopper, I can try to describe it, and maybe I can make a picture later if your not following my obviously clear instructions (i know they are horrible, I just cant figure how to describe it)

I go clockwise first off, and by jumping diagnal i just mean dont try to go straight up as you wont be able to outrun it

Starting at the bottom i am shooting at its head, as I begin to run out of room on the left side I start jumping up, diagnally to the left until I get to the top at which point I jump diagnally right over his head, now i have much room again to run to the right as he is on the left side. I seperate and start shooting again. now since the screen is moving left to right this time and the fact its less time jumping down than jumping up, i just shoot down straight to the bottom and get under him and to his left. then I am shooting again, and keeping pace to where I started this paragraph from, repeat as necessary

How do I turn around?

Move to the right when possible.

Wait, I thought I was already on the right side?

So by diagonal you mean left, up, left, up, etc? Or am I missing something on the keyboard that will make me actually move diagonally?

Oh dear.....Yes, I think a picture might be worth a thousand words.

Well, I'm not sure what happened with the Swarm tournament. It has ended and I got a note of congratulations for winning. 1000 tokens has been added to my account rather than the 553 that the tournament configuration said would be awarded. I'm going to guess that means I got all of the winnings and there was nothing for second and third place. I think that once the tournament ended all the information about it was cleared out of the machine. The last time I checked the rankings Mamacita was a close second. Perhaps she can let us now if there was anything given to her.

I believe that what Dreams was referring to about the entry fees and awards going to and from my account is true when you set up a tournament yourself. I think what I did was add one fo the "Global" tournaments because I don't remember putting in any of the settings required to create my own.

 

[Mamacita]

Yup, no message for me, congrats on the win Krazy!

Turn by pressing the arrow key in the direction you want to go; you are at the right, but the room moves, so you'll have more room after a bit. For diagonal jumps press the up and left or right arrow key at once.

Yes, your tournament was a Global tourney. I joined there in the last 45 mins, and was in 3rd place when it ended. I was taking a break from the Ape game and came across your tournment so joined in. It gave me confidence enough to try Ape again. I finally beat that stupid snake, then was able to keep going and made it through the mission! Woot!

 

[aengus]

woot!

 

[bopper]

I did it! 129,000 on the Great Ape!
Ok..this might be obvious, but part of the key is to maintain your lives! at the end of every round, you get 2000 x the number of lives you have left! That helps you get more points faster.
Try to shoot all the little guys and diamonds and then smash them, and try to get all the fruit you can.
You can shoot those annoying birds, too!
When it gets to worm time, do what Aengus did....run over to the left on the bottom, and then get up to the top left and start running to the right, jump up (even though you are on the top level, it gets the worm up high enough to shoot easily) and then turn and shoot to the left. Once the worm is all blue, run into him. Get out of that round asap!

In the next round after the worm, it is basically the same thing as the second round except there are flying rocks that you cannot shoot. They are mostly toward the right side so you can avoid them. Then it is similar, two rounds and then a worm round.

Woot! My son got me through popaloon tonight, and then I got both of us through swarm! Now why was everyone having problems with swarm? That one was easy!
So now I'm almost at the Great Ape like everyone else.....<insert holding pattern here>

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Okay, explain this one! I was playing Crazy Ape (sigh!). I got beyond the 1st snake, I got beyond the 2nd snake, I was at 85,600 and I got:

Anyone have a clue???

- Dreams

ETA: Okay, in case anyone else encounters this, here's what I discovered. I noticed while I was playing, the zzzzz's showed up in the right-hand "chat" column of the game module. I believe that is showing that I have gone inactive (even though I was playing the game). I typed, "hmm" in the chat just to kick it out of zzzz mode. The zzzz's went away and I was not kicked from the game.

Oh, and did I mention?

Thanks to all those who offered tips! They all helped.

*Scolds & points finger* What did you do?!
