Something's up with Jungle Cruise...

[tolkien7]

Doesn't hurt that you have adjusted well, either. ;-)

LOL! Yes, I suppose it would have hurt deeply to return my crown as Cruise Princess. (Wynsome will always be Queen).

So does this mean 39,576 is in ok score?

I am getting no better at the new game. In fact, my score today was my worst one since the change.

However, I guess there is an upside to everything. Because I used to be able to count on at least 750 credits from Jungle Cruise, I didn't play the other games that much. I was OK at Fireworks, but have only done Pirates a handful of times ('cause I don't like it), and I can't seem to get the hang of moving in the Haunted Mansion. But now that my old reliable Jungle Cruise credit source is no more, I decided to give Fireworks some attention this afternoon.

And I must say I was rockin' it! You won't see me in the Top Ten (probably ever), but I came in second or third in 5 of the 7 games I played - and scored well over 200,000 in each. So I racked up over 4700 credits today!


And I owe it all to the fact that VMK changed the Jungle Cruise.

I really really REALLY miss the old jungle... It was my slow morning wake up game... relaxing.... Now it's GO GO GO.... ugh

Not as apealing to me...

So now I just do it ONCE in the morning...

What's bad for me is that I JUST learned how to go slow to take the pictures!lol Now I have to speed back up. ON my old computer I had to go fast since it was always hanging up on rooms. Guess I get to do it again.

So although my scores reflect me still having a touch in this game, what you don't see is me hitting every rock there is. -_-' I need some steering instructions. Lol!

I've figured out something else. If you hit the animal while it's still smoking, as long as it's mostly in frame you get flawless. If it's already fully visible, you need your shot centered.

 

[tolkien7]

Thanks for the tip, girlfriend! You have some rockin' scores today.

 

[Alionette]

So what do you consider a good score now? LOL!

[tolkien7]

55K will get you on the list.

Thanks for the tip, girlfriend! You have some rockin' scores today.

Hardly anybody was on towards the last 30 minutes of today and those that were on were in games. So I decided to have some fun with Jungle and see how far I could push it. I gassed it everytime I got a chance and that 14th place score was me 20 minutes before closing. Lol! I got to the 3rd to last Flamingo on the final room before I hit the 0 on my gas. The I played for real and got the first place score.

Anyway, I think I've figured out all the little tricks I can do. But I'll be perfecting myself before releasing my secrets. Muahaha! I did get quite a few awesomes in that last game...and can I tell you how weird it was seeing this green "Awesome" pop up instead of "ok" "good" or "flawless"? Just seemed so out of place lol!

 

[tolkien7]

I can reveal my secrets now: I have none. I just race around like a fool, trying to take the picture as quickly as possible! I still haven't stepped on the gas though. I can't get Flawless on the giraffe in the last screen on the far right lower screen. The best I can get on that giraffe is "Ok." And now, it's time to vote!

 

[GoofyGeggy]

55K will get you on the list.

...and my 49K and 50K scores will only get me on the list earlier in the day...

Oh, to have the old, "broken" game back. lol


BTW, very nice score LittleDragonErin! 56.7k - woot!

Hee hee...that was how I was playing at first too, but it annoyed me hitting all those rocks. Lol! Yeah, I can't get those giraffe's at all. And a couple times those monkeys that are on the edge.

Yeah, I miss the old style sometimes too. I feel kinda stressed sometimes. Lol!

Anyway, I had a theory and it's right. Hit 58k today and I'm sure I can hit 60k if I can just remember where those aminals are coming from.

 

[Kasiks]

I wish they would never have change the game .. I was not trying to play before now the game bothers me

edit: I got it now if only I knew where those animals pop up

Are you sharing the theory?

 

[LittleDragonErin]

Are you sharing the theory?

I actually might be mistaken after all...as I can't seem to repeat my earlier performance from this morning.

Yesterday I got an AWESOME on a toucan in the Tent Room and thought I was seeing things! I forgot to check the individual picture scores afterwards, however, to see the point difference between that and FLAWLESS. Any idea?

Speaking of toucans in the Tent Room: Did they permanently change the location of the first one in the third round, or does it vary now? He always used to pop up on the barrels right by the tent, but in my last two games, he's been way off in the bushes on the right side of the screen. Thereby completely messing up a couple shots....

 

[tolkien7]

I got "awesome" twice, and I got more points than with "flawless." That makes no sense to me. Anyone else?

No, it's always changed locations. There's about 5 animals that vary in locations. In my updated guide I'll point those out. But that toucan is one of them. Either on the barrel under the hippo or on the right side behind the tree.

That WAS my theory. I got about 6 awesomes in my 58k score and I think I might have figured out how to get awesomes. But then I got 5 later during my runs after lunch and only was scored 56k (and yes, all my other shots were consistent with the 58k score). So I'm wondering again...

Need to play more...

(Oh and sorry about monopolizing the top ten list...but I really want to perfect this...hee hee!)
