Meepit Juice Break Game Guide
It is said that all Meepit require their daily Juppie Juice fix to function
properly, and in this game where the path to feeding each Meepit with juice is
congested with an assortment of pipes, you have to find a way to arrange the
pipes, so that when you pour the juice down a selected pipe, it will find it's
way to the hungry Meepit's mouth.
What you see in the picture above is what is referred to as the Juice-O-Matic.
This machine is comprised of many white pipes located in the center of the
screen, which you will have to manipulate so that a direct pipe line can be made
from the juice source (left of the screen) to the Meepit sitting in the tree
(right of the screen). Clicking on a white pipe will rotate it clockwise and
there is no limit on how many times the pipes may be clicked. However be warned
that there is a time limit on how long the hungry Meepit will essentially wait
for you to feed it. These times can be seen by the number which appears above
the Meepits head, however I will discuss these strategies later on in this
guide.
Meepits will not discriminate based on what color Juppie Juice you feed it.
However, it does exhibit preferences to what it likes. For example, while you
may receive one point for each connected pipe that leads to a Meepit
establishing pipe connection with the juice, if you are able to feed a blue
Meepit some Juice from the blue pipes, your potential score doubles for every
pipe that is connected from the juice source to the Meepit.
Therefore, if you wanted to maximize your score, you should aim to add as many
pipes to your main connection as possible. However, keep your eye on the timer,
as it is quintessential that you feed the Meepit before time runs out. In the
picture above, I was successful in connecting the Blue Meepit with Blue Juppie
Juice. This means I would receive double the score I would normally receive if
the Juice color was not the same (there are 25 pipe pieces connecting the juice
source to the Meepit. Normally I would receive 25 points but because they are
color matched, I receive 50 instead). If you look at the image above carefully,
you will have noticed that I could have made a more direct path from the juice source
to the Meepit. However I had an extra 30 seconds, so I added extra point returns
by taking a longer path to the Meepit. Isaac Soloman also points out that if you
connect ALL the pipes in one level, you will gain a super bonus of +50 points -
perfect for the beginning levels where time is most you will get for the entire
game!
As you progress through the levels, you will begin to notice that some pipes
will appear to have fruit hovering over them. This provides you with extra
avenues to maximize your score. If you can connecting the juice to your Meepit
and have the fruit pipe connected to your pipe, you will gain a good boost in
points. For example, the fruit pipe above will give you an extra 10 points! Note
that later on in the game, rotten apples will appear. These will negate your
overall points if you run your juice source through them.
Each level you progress will require you to feed a certain number of Meepits.
When you reach level two, more Meepits will start appearing in the tree, each
with their own individual timer. As you progress further, a maximum of three
Meepits will appear. Understandably this will start to become a little difficult
to feed each Meepit in time, therefore a good strategy is to construct the pipes
in such a way, where it will allow more than one Meepit to be feed. There are
many implications to this which will be discussed further below.
Firstly, examine how the pipe is constructed. It is done in such a way where two
Meepits are able to be feed at once enabling you to feed all Meepits within
their time limits. Also note that by doing this, your point gains are given a
higher multiplier, resulting in even more point returns! Next notice that the
pipes are arranged in such a way that as many pipes that were possible were
connected up giving me even more point returns (as the more pipes you have
connected, the more points you receive). You may notice that I could have
connected more pipes than what is shown up there, however I was running out of
time - and this is an important point. Always make feeding the Meepits in time
your number one priority. Next note that the pipes are also running through
bonus fruits giving me an extra 20 points (two +10 point fruits). As you can
see, there are many things that are occurring at once during this game. It may
sound complicated, but believe me that you'll be automatically doing all this
while you play.
The last concept of the game you should know is the as mentioned before, the
color of the Meepits. Essentially, you will see a blue, yellow or red Meepit.
However there are times, such as in the image above where the Meepit is a mix of
these colors. This is where connecting source pipes of different colors together
comes into play. If you look at the above image once again, you should note that
I have connected the red and blue pipes to produce a violet colored juice for
the violet Meepit. Now note that I have done all this while performing all other
point boosting activities - effectively stacking up my points for major points
which leads me to a high score trophy!
This game isn't as complicated as it seems. As in most games, you'll learn it if
you play it. Good luck! |
