Advert Attack Guide
Written by chaotizitaet
Advert Attack is a relatively easy game as is getting the avatar, for which you
have to send in a score of 700+.
All you have to do is race Ace Zafara as fast as possible form the left side of
the screen to the right side by clicking on the Go-Buttons that appear in a
frame in the lower half of the window, thereby beating the opponent Race Robo.
You have 50 seconds per level to achieve this.
For each level finished you gain 50 points plus the remaining seconds as bonus,
so the faster you are, the more points you get. With ten levels this makes a
theoretical total of 1000 points, however as nobody is able to race Ace Zafara
from one side of the screen to the other in less than a second, your score in
reality will normally be somewhere between 600 (if you had a not so good game)
and 800 (or even more with time, practice and luck).
From level 2 on there will be pop-ups invading this game, blocking parts of the
screen. Where these pop-ups appear is completely random, so they may be only
party visible or covering only parts of the race or the Go-Frame. To get rid of
these pop-ups, you have to click on the little white x on red background in the
top-right corner of the pop-up or on the No-Button when it is asking for you to
install anything or Okay when you are told that there is a neomail waiting for
you. (Same as you would usually do on the internet.)
From level 5 on there can also appear white pop-ups (having a white background
with no blue window-frame around), where you have to click on the line close
this window which appears at the bottom of the pop-up.
The higher the level the more pop-ups appear.
Getting rid of the pop-ups takes times and thereby reduces your bonus-points up
to the point where you don't finish the level in time and lose. However, you
don't need to get rid of all the pop-ups. The only pop-ups that matter are those
that block your Go-Frame.
So here we go with a few advices that will get you the avatar in no time:
1. Ignore the pop-ups in the race-part of the screen completely if they don't
block the Go-Frame. You don't need to see Ace Zafara or the time left. Just keep
clicking on the Go and you'll finish the level before Race Robo.
2. Like a normal window you can move the pop-ups with the blue frame. You
actually have to, if only the left half of the pop-up is visible, in order to
get to the x (or whatever closes the window fastest) to close the window. But
you don't need to close a window necessarily. Sometimes it is faster to simply
store a pop-up near the bottom or right edge and clear the Go-Frame this way.
And you don't have to be very accurate with the storing, as the Go-Button has a
steady size and you can still click it even if only a part of it is visible.
3. In the early levels try to wait removing the pop-up till a Go-Button takes
you already close to the pop-up as this saves a tiny bit of time as well, which
in the end may make the difference between avatar and no avatar. In later levels
the pop-ups will be so frequent that itll be easier to move those directly
instead of having to move a whole bunch of piled up pop-ups before accessing the
Go-Button again.
4. There is a code that makes all visible pop-ups disappear which is nopopups.
However, typing the code again takes time and you no longer can type most of it
while Dr. Sloth shows the development graphic. Starting to type will start the
next level, so only resort to the code if absolutely necessary and then type it
completely.
5. Another thing you might want to try is playing the game with the size set
Small, as again it reduces the way you have to move the cursor, thereby saving
time and points.
6. If you are a non-premium-user you may have already noticed with other games,
that some ads on the Neopets page take up a lot of traffic, causing the games to
lag. So before starting the game make sure you have only low-traffic-ads on the
Neopets page (or pages in case you have several open).
Bye, chao.
