*Tips For Better Booty Grabbing!*
Please feel free to post a reply and add any tips I may have missed or forgot!
■ First and foremost, as soon as you open a tank, click in the center of the tank like a madman! Click as fast, and as many times as you can! Certain fish, like Mermaids, Airsharks, Coatls, and Dolphins (please remind me if I'm forgetting some), have a tendency to huddle up wherever you were tapping! What does that mean? More gold dropping in the same spot!
■ Adding to the first tip, once the game has begun, there's a thin blue line between the bottom of the water, and the bottom of the tank. Click that every few seconds during the game to keep the huddled fish from moving. It takes some practice to be able to collect as much gold as possible AND click that thin line, but if done correctly, those huddled fish will stay in the same spot for the whole game!
■ If you're being persued by power-downs, it's more of a situational decision which ones you can afford to get hit with and which ones you can't. If you have 3 seconds on the clock, and it's either get hit with a Time Power-down or collect a big group of red gold, obviously you'd pick the gold!
■ You NEVER want a Small-Overseer Power-down. Avoid these at all costs (unless it's the VERY end of the game.) This is the MOST costly Power-down of the four. stressed
■ If all your fish are dropping gold in a small area, you can deal with being Slowed, but if they're all spread out, this could be a very costly inconvenience.
■ If your clock is almost out of time (or you just don't care), you can deal with losing a few seconds. It's nice to collect as much EXTRA time as possible, especially on those awesome games that just hand you multiplier after multiplier, but sometimes you can get away with losing some and gaining it back later.
■ If you don't have any Multiplier Power-ups, just ignore the Multiplier Power-down, it won't do anything! However, make sure you avoid these Power-downs at all costs if you DO have a Multiplier Power-up active with MORE than 2 seconds left.
■ Abuse the hell out of the Speed Power-ups. Sweep the middle 80% of the screen as much as you can.
■ Try and avoid the left and right side of the tank as much as possible. Sometimes you get lucky and get hit with a Power-UP instead of a Power-DOWN, but considering those Power-downs can make or break your game, you don't really want to risk getting surprised with a small overseer right before a huge red rain. scream
■ Tap the center of the screen before the game! I know I said this already, but it's THAT important! wink
■ Try not to stay still. I've noticed when I stay still, I'm a little slower to respond to the next wave of gold. Might just be me, but it seems that remaining at least slightly mobile the entire game, keeps your awareness up.
