Extreme Herder Please let the WHOLE page load before clicking any links...Thank you All links open in their own window!  The Characters Samrin - The Blue Kacheek that you control Balthazar - The Evil Dude who you must avoid at all costs. He's the computer AI, and Neopets programmed him to have at least the I.Q. of a cabbage, which will probably explain why he goes after the petpet nearest to him but hides in a corner once you've collected the last petpet on your back. The Petpets - They consist of Angelpusses, Noils, Babaas, and Doglefoxes. These poor innocent little creatures are about to become Balthazar's next meal if you don't get them in the pen, quick. The Goal To collect all the petpets by 'stepping' on them, and then walking up to the 'doors' of the pen - those things that are sticking out of the side - and to save them (and yourself) from getting eaten by Balthazar. Once you get all the petpets in the pen, you win that level. The Controls Up - Moves Samrin UP Down - Moves Samrin DOWN Left - Moves Samrin LEFT Right - Moves Samrin RIGHT Spacebar - Drops petpet. Can be useful when you see a nearby petpet in danger but you're already carrying another one. The Basics So how do you go around winning a level, you ask me? Well, as I think I've already pointed out before, you need to get all the petpets in the pen. You do this by picking them up (stepping on them) and they will appear on your back. You can only pick up one petpet at a time (You can drop one by pressing Spacebar). Once you have one in your possession, head towards the nearest pen 'gate', and the petpet will appear somewhere inside the pen. Then, you have to go pick up the remaining petpets and secure them before greedy Balthazar lays his sticky paws on them. It isn't really a difficult thing to understand, what is difficult is getting your petpets, who really aren't helping by wandering all over the place, into the pen, and before they get gobbled up by Balthazar. The Items Snowflake - Freeze Balthazar temporarily. Most useful when he's just about to snack on one of your petpets. Speed Orbs - These make you quite a bit faster. Warp Pads - Call them whatever you must, these things at the side of your screen warp you to the opposite ends of the room. Pretty helpful, but I wouldn't depend much on these if I were you. Pen Gates/Doors - When you walk up to these, your petpets will appear in your pen, safe and sound. The Special Pet - These petpets are potrayed with some sort of halo above their head. You get a Special Bonus (more than the regular amount of points) for gathering these in the pen. Lives - You start out with 3. Once you or your petpet get eaten, a life is deducted. The Levels As you progress, more and more petpets will appear, making it extremely difficult to get those wayward animals back into the pen. After all, you can do everything at once, can you? Not to mention, that once you've gotten to Stage 5, the topmost Warp Pad will disappear, and on Stage 6, the bottom Warp Pad will disappear too...Uh oh...that's why I said you really shouldn't rely on them too much. But the worse is yet to come...at Level 9, what happens? All the warp pads are gone...and yes, your worst fears are realized. The Top Pen Gate is GONE! You are left to rely on the other 3...which actually isn't so bad...except when you reach the next stage! Yes...*another* one is gone....this time it's the Bottom Pen Gate!! Man. You must be hyperventilating by now. When you reach Level 12...Yes, all the Pen Gates are now gone, except the Left Pen Gate. You will now have to rely on that for the rest of the stages...All I have to say is, Good Luck! The Tips Yes...I'm not leaving you all alone out there! I'll give you some handy dandy tips, which you may follow or may not, it's up to you. Use What You've Got! Use every oppurtunity to get a Speed Orb or Snowflake, but don't go all the way across the screen just to grab one. Position Yourself Right Generally the place I like to place Samrin in is somewhere around the top-right corner of the pen. Balthazar is pretty near, but he's also not that fast as to gobble you up. Also, it allows you accessibilty, you can grab a nearby pet in danger from Balthazar and quickly deposit it in the pen. Know What To Grab, And When! You should either go for the nearest petpets near you - or for the ones in desperate danger. If in great need, sacrifice yourself - it'll get you more points, and more points mean more NP! Get All The Pets! Do this for the extra bonuses. Avoid Balthazar! Or at least try to. You can narrowly avoid him, but it isn't really advised... Overall This gives you a good amount of neopoints and is fairly easy to play, therefore I would add it as a game that you should play 3 times a day if you have the patience.  Back to Top |
