It was all about the Camellos and S’morepians today. I managed to make more of each resident, then Master Romanced both species. I made a fortune selling the Camellos once I’d done too. I’m now on Level 51, and have wiped my garden almost clean ready for the next species!
I not only managed to acquire a cutlass today (to keep out the Ruffians), but I also bought all the remaining Tower of Sour blocks, meaning that (along with my Cunning Wall of Blocking Ability that keeps Pester out) no nasties can enter my garden. Finally, the game can begin properly! So I bred Buzzlegums, so I could get the Master Romancer award for it, but also so I could entice S’morepians into the garden to eat them. I managed …
Played up to Level 34 today, mostly undisturbed by sours, ruffians and suchlike. Master Romanced custacians and redhotts, and grew loads of new plants and trees. I have loads of money now (over 45,000) so I’m not struggling to buy anything I need any more, and things in the garden have finally calmed down. I just need to get hold of a few more blocks for the Tower of Sour, and a Cutlass, and things should be just fine!
After yesterday’s rampage, I spent ages getting my garden back together. Looking back, it probably would have been easier to start again from scratch in a new garden, as there was nothing left worth keeping (a few flutterscotches, whirlms and bispottis was about it). With much rebuilding, I finally had a garden full of stuff again. I suppose it’s about time I started concentrating on romancing various species, but with sours coming in every five seconds (not to mention Professor …
Played up as far as level 21 today. I had loads of stuff in my garden, pinata aplenty, and then two sours came in at once and left a pile of hemlock seeds. Which multiplied faster than I could get rid of them, and soon 90% of my pinata were dead or dying, and I had no money to use to “sell” the weeds, or cure my pinata. Disaster! In the end, I had to dig a river to cut …
I 100%ed the original Viva Pinata. Every reward, every achievement, every pinata, every plant… everything. It took about 60 hours. The sequel arrived this week. It’s bigger. Yes, bigger than 60 hours. So I made a start. After around two hours play, I was on level 14, having gained no achievements, but filling my garden with loads of different pinata. I’ve had a few from the pinartic, a couple from the desert, and loads of wander-in-ers. But there’s too much …
I’m a bit hooked on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise at the moment. One of the new features of the game is the way you can take pictures and upload them to www.vivapinata.com. Unfortunately, all my photos just make my garden look dark, dreary, and in some cases, somewhat evil.
For four years now, I’ve kept a diary detailing the games I play. Part of the reason was to see how many games I buy (and to reduce this number), and how many I complete (and to increase this number). 2008 saw a drop in completed games – 33 compared to 61 in 2007. I don’t think this is bad, when you look at the games I’ve been completing. In 2007, there were quite a few shorter games, including 5 …
