Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Time Bomb

In Time Bomb, you must destroy bomb gems before they count to zero.

For this level, bomb gems count down in every match you made. You have 20 moves before a bomb count to zero. You have to clear 10 bomb gems. You just need some strategic thinking.

Almost forgot one thing: this is the last quest of the first relic. Do you know what the first relic is? It's an elixir!

Angry Birds: Haunted Hogs

NOOOOO!!!!! A pig disguised itself as a bird and the King Pig put an egg with a pig mask!!!!!
Oops, Halloween is already over.

But it doesn't mean you can't play these new Halloween-themed levels on Angry Birds Seasons!
So empty...
Angry Birds Seasons is now divided into three parts. Season 1 has from Halloween 2010 (Trick or Treat) to Mid Autumn Festival (Moon Festival), Season 2 has from Halloween 2011 (Ham'o'ween) to Back to School, and Season 3 has from Halloween 2012 (Haunted Hogs) to the rest of the festives in 2013 (I have no idea if 2013 is going to come).
Hey! Hand over the egg, Pig-ster!
This is a 30-level game pack plus two bonus levels.

In Buried Treasure, uncover the treasures by matching gems on sand in a limited amount of time.

For this level, you have 2 minutes to uncover three treasures. The first one occupies three spaces, the second one occupies six spaces, and the third one occupies 4 spaces.

Do you know what are those treasures? They are a sword, a chest armour and a shield!

Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Avalanche

In Avalanche, gems will drop in every match made. Don't let the board filled up completely with gems.

For this level, you have to clear 80 gems. All you need is some strategic thinking. Create flame gems if you are able to and detonate them.

Is there a snow avalanche in the background?

Angry Birds: Back to School


Uh-oh! Looks like somebody is angry! And bubbles!
(Note: this post should be posted about two months ago, and I accidentally delayed that. Sorry.)

People, I am back in school right now.

But before that, there's an Angry Birds Seasons update came out. This time is going back to school and it's preschool-themed! (Or elementary school-themed, well, I'm not sure)

What's the apple for?
Graduate pig wants to eat an egg with an A-plus?

Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Balance

In Balance, red and blue gems are the key to this quest. However, red represents fire and blue represents ice and you must balance them. If there's too much red the background burns; if there's too much blue the background chills.

This level is not hard, you just have to match 15 reds and 15 blues. You might need some thinking. For example, if you want to make the crystals straight you need to wait for the red to go up then match the blue and vice versa. In this level, match as fast as you can, but don't do something bad to the background.

Global warming anyone?

Wrigley's 5 Tempest-A Luscious Watermelon

Okay people, here's a question: Had you ate a watermelon-flavoured chewing gum? Some people will probably say that they don't get it what am I talking about. I suppose it's time for me to say about the watermelon flavour, as I'm writing about the 5 gum "Tempest" and "A Luscious Watermelon" subtitle.

Tempest is also known as "Prism" in North America, "Turbulence" in Europe and South Africa. "Tempest" is used in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Hmmm... I think the watermelon-flavoured gum is called "Prism" in North America because it may refer to a transparent object which refracts light or the volume of water in an area between the high and low tide (tidal prism), "Turbulence" is a flow regime characterised by chaotic property changes, and "Tempest" refers to a violent storm.
Refract the light into red and green, no wonder why it sometimes called "Prism"...

Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Stratamax

In Stratamax, you must clear gems in a number of moves. Sometimes could be easy; sometimes could be hard.

Clear 120 gems in less than 20 moves. If I decide how many gems for each move, in this level, each move must at least 6 gems cleared. Cascades, special gems and a bit of luck could help you pass that. Hypercubes should be targeted at the colour with the most amount on the game board.

Really, you could really need some thinking...

Wednesday, 22 August 2012

Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Alchemy

In Alchemy, you must match gems to turn the whole gem board into gold. Horizontal matches turn rows into gold; vertical matches turn columns into gold.

Turn the whole game board into gold in 1 minute 30 seconds. All you just have to do is to make matches on unhighlighted rows and columns as fast as you can. Creating a star gem and detonating a star gem will turn a row and column into gold. Flame gems can be a bit useless. Hypercubes is handy against the rows or columns which only has a few unhighlighted blocks.

Did anyone play the Alchemy game?

Tuesday, 21 August 2012

Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Gold Rush

In Gold Rush, you must match gems near the dirt to dig in. Uncover the number of gold nuggets in below given in the time given. Rocks will take two or more moves to be destroyed. Uncover the gold before time runs out.

You need to mine 5 gold in 2 minutes in this level. Using a special gem to detonate near the gold or use a Hypercube or a star gem to reach the gold will dig out 2 gold at the same time.

This won't be hard, will it?

Bejeweled 3: Relic 1: Butterflies

The Quest mode walkthrough for Bejeweled 3 begins now!

In Quest mode there's no storyline, but here's a backstory:

Lost relics of Bejeweled are darkened by time. Illuminate each one in turn by completing the quests associated with the Relic's gems.

This means that there are five items which are darken by darkness. It's up to the player to get them back by matching gems.

The first relic contains the following quests:
Butterflies: Match 15 Butterfly gems before they reach the evil spider.
Gold Rush: Mine out 5 gold nuggets.
Alchemy: Turn the gem board into gold in 1 minute 30 seconds.
Stratamax: Clear 120 gems in 20 moves.
Balance: Match 15 red and 15 blue gems, but make sure they do not freeze or burn the quest's background.
Avalanche: Gems drop in each match. Collect 80 gems before the board in completely full.
Buried Treasure: Uncover 3 treasures in 2 minutes.
Time Bomb: Bomb gems tick on moves, destroy 10 bomb gems before they tick to zero.

Let's start with Butterflies.

Bejeweled 3

Well folks I'm back!Bejeweled 3 is now on my blog!
Ta-da! Ahem, don't use my name!!
Everything is new in Bejeweled 3: achievement badges, six high score tables, various game modes, and many more. Well, I'm not sure what to mention.
New to Bejeweled? Try Classic.
There are four game modes at the start: all-time favourite Classic, breath-taking Zen, Blitz-y Lightning and a Quest mode without a storyline. There are four secret modes, which I will introduce to you all in later posts.

I'll be working on the Quest mode walkthrough, so stay tuned!

Wrigley's 5 Pulse-A Crisp Tropical

I haven't blogged anything in a month because I'm too nervous!

Who knows anything about a tropical flavoured chewing gum? I think some kind of a tropical fruit flavour, right? Well for this post I am writing about the 5 gum "Pulse" and "A Crisp Tropical" subtitle.

Pulse is also known as "Lush" in North America while "Pulse" is used in Asia and Europe (except for Russia, which uses "Hybrid").

I never realiased that Piglantis is such a hit!

The Piglantis post that I created yesterday became very popular for my blog. It received more views than my intro post. So to celebrate that, I make a FAQ at this post. I've checked what you people are finding for on the traffic sources.

Bejeweled Twist: The things occured last week

Waiting for another set of my Bejeweled Twist moves? Here they are!

Wrigley's 5 Electro-A Tingling Spearmint

It looks like that I haven't eaten chewing gum for weeks, and finally for today, I've already bought one. I went to the local mini-store to buy some chewing gum. I've tried that Cobalt gum, then I was looking for a new flavour for me to try. I saw a chewing gum branded "5" (you've noticed that in my last chewing gum post) and the flavour is "Electro", not going to be confused this time, because it's subtitle says "A Tingling Spearmint" and I know it's spearmint.

Like Cobalt, Electro is also sugar-free. There are two names for Wrigley 5's spearmint flavour, "Rain" and "Electro", "Rain" is commonly used at US, Canada and Hong Kong packaging, while "Electro is used on Malaysia, Russia, South Africa and European packaging.

Welcome back!

Hey everyone, I'm having the exam, well, two-week period, and can't live without blogging because, I need to check if any Malaysians are looking at my blog. I'm starting to freak out because I am worrying about my blog, for two weeks! Click Read more to continue reading this post!

Talking About Penang

I'd mention some stuff at the intro post. Then I'm planning a food review blog rather than a video game blog.  Other stuff will be featured in the miscellaneous tag. Why I'm planning a food review blog? For Malaysians, I would probably introduce some local stuff around Penang (or other countries and regions, in case I travel); while for foreigners, I probably planning some good restaurants which has some things you want such as foreign food, restaurants who received a good review or, whatever.

Luxor 3: Gates of the Underworld

I think Set is hiding here...

The balls will appear from the top then took a diagonal turn later take another turn then reaching the column upwards later turn horizontal zigzags along its path. When they do the last zigzag, they will created a sharp turn on the ropes and finally reaching the pyramid.

If you really want use the fireball or the colour cloud, be careful where you are aiming. The speed shot possibly helpful, maybe to target against the top rows. The lightning bolt will be helpful against the starting columns! The slow and reverse might needed when just in case. The net would be helpful since there are two paths. Take note that the scorpion targets the lines which are nearest to the pyramid. It could be a little confusing when targeting the balls from the top, so the match highlighter is needed. The sandstorm could be handy because there are many horizontal tracks!

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, lightning bolt, slow, wild ball, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, pyramid blocker, match highlighter, colour sort, sandstorm

Final question, but this time, it's not a choosing question, it's guessing that riddle:

Luxor 3: Set crosses the Nile

This is the last River Crossing level in Adventure!

The lines at the lowest part of the water are the slowest and the longest. The lines at the middle were moderately fast. The lines at the top are the fastest and the shortest. To clear the black bug, take out the purple ball at the middle later take out the white, then purple, then yellow, then green, then blue and finally red. If you are lucky, you will receive a white colour bomb, which will take out the purple balls, later use the reverse take out the rest. This will take two fireballs to clear and entire line, but if you use the white colour bomb, you will probably take about one or two fireballs to clear the remaining.

That's it! You've completed Crossing the Nile levels!

Sunday, 6 May 2012

Luxor 3: Season Finale

Well folks, I'd give the tips for each level, understanding each Survival and Onslaught, identifying what powerups in a colour, what to do on higher difficulty levels, understanding the tactics of powerups, learning what to hit which colour on the third match and guiding some challenges. I'm planning puzzle and the River Crossing walkthroughs, coming soon.

I'd guide the story, showing the Ancient Egyptian religion (not sure), and understanding the functions of the bugs (sort of). The quest continues so I'm giving more walkthroughs.

But now, here's come the final stage of all, and the last part of the game...

Saturday, 5 May 2012

Luxor 3: Survival 10

Title: Guardian of Sehkmet
Setting: Sekhmet's Armoury
Time: 4 minutes

This is the last survival level! Use the reverse, scorpion, pyramid blocker, colour sort or sandstorm if you are in extreme trouble! There will be less colour grouping! And the balls will be faster! Collect all the canopic jars to unlock a bonus!
The bonus starts at 57 seconds.
Why Sekhmet's symbol is a flame?
The progress of the pyramid is nearly complete. This post featured the last survival level, but it's not the end of the game yet! Because there's more to come!

Friday, 4 May 2012

Luxor 3: Behind the Curtains

Yup, now that's a two-track level...

The lines appear from the upper center then turn to the direction the gate is directing. The lines go diagonally upward then perform two horizontal tracks, then go through the diagonals near the center, then go through the diagonals far from the center, then perform a triangular track and finally turn horizontally and reaching the pyramids at the center

If you aimed the fireball and the colour cloud right, you will probably clear or turn the entire line. The speed shot is gradually important because of the diagonal tracks, which is fairly difficult to fit in. The lightning bolt is extremely handy against the starting column! Just in case you might need the slow, stop and reverse. Wild ball is pretty handy in here. If you are trying to finish the next line after killing the previous bug, use the net. Since the lines can be short, the colour bomb or the colour replacer can be handy, as well as the scorpion (upgrade it to the max level). Because of two tracks you might need to use the sandstorm.

Generally speaking, if you don't use the colour sort continuously, you might find yourself that the pyramids on the curtains will be corrupt by the bugs!

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, lightning bolt, slow, wild ball, stop, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, colour sort, sandstorm

Thursday, 3 May 2012

Luxor 3: Defender of Sekhmet

I think this will be the last Onslaught level in Adventure. The orange has the sandstorm and it it great against horizontal tracks. If you want to use the sandstorm, make sure that the balls are completely horizontally. Try destroy the deadly statues which are blocking the falcons way, which also makes lines less horizontally. Finish this level and you're done for Onslaughts!

Wednesday, 2 May 2012

Luxor 3: Sekhmet's Armoury

(Generally speaking, please answer the question on the previous post before viewing this post)

Tuesday, 1 May 2012

Luxor 3: Survival 9

Title: Guardian of Anubis
Setting: The Well of Anubis
Time: 4 minutes

Here's come an insane survival! The balls will be less grouped, so when then are too close, use the pyramid blocker! Take out the vertical curve with the lightning bolt! Colour sort is strongly recommended! Collect all canopic jars to unlock a bonus!
The bonus starts at 54 seconds.
The scales represents justice.
Question 10:
In Ancient Egypt, one of Ra's daughters has the head of a lioness, and was known to be the fiercest and the most violent huntress in Ancient Egyptian mythology. She is
A. Artemis
B. Bastet
C. Hathor
D. Sekhmet
E. Tawaret

Answer available at tomorrow!

Luxor 3: Royal Catch

Wow, it's look like that the fishermen had a great catch today!

Seriously, I'll tell you the scariest part: three into one, THERE ARE 3 LINES FROM THE START!!! But don't worry, the lines will take turns (notice the gates), and there is one pyramid.The first line comes out from the top-right then turn to the right and took the long track; the second line comes out from the lower top-right, which is longer and took the short track; the third lines comes from the center-right, moves a long horizontal track and turns at the leftmost part and turn. Three of them will take a short horizontal track then turn diagonally to the top-left then turn right then turn to the bottom-right and turn to the left horizontally and reaching the pyramid.

Fireballs and colour clouds should be targeted carefully when aiming at sharp curves. The speed shot can be useful when aiming at the top lines. No way the lightning bolt will help: the vertical lines are facing diagonally! The slow, stop and reverse could be useful there. The net is required since things might be weird when you are trying to get the next line stopped after you kill that bug. The sandstorm is highly recommended because it's very strong against horizontal tracks!

Did you notice the Eye of Horus on the fishes?

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, slow, wild ball, stop, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, colour sort, sandstorm

Sunday, 29 April 2012

Luxor 3: Defender of Anubis

Now another Onslaught? This is getting ridiculous. The black has the pyramid blocker and the match highlighter. If the lines are getting too close to the pyramid, the pyramid blocker will get rid of the incoming balls for a limited amount and a bomb will explode when the defense is out. So make sure that the deadly statues aren't blocking your way!

Saturday, 28 April 2012

Luxor 3: Sekhmet crosses the Nile

Another colour already? I'm waiting for a challenge.

You think four lines appearing in this level could be hard, but the strategy is easy. Use the reverse then clear out the black bug. You can also continuously using purple as the third match and use some colour bombs. It's easy, so I don't need to explain much!

Thursday, 26 April 2012

Luxor 3: Survival 8

Title: Guardian of Thoth
Setting: Scribblings of the Scribe
Time: 4 minutes

Survival time! Be warned that when the maximum of nine colours of each line, there will be less colour grouping (that also happens in Endless), so it's strongly recommended that you use the colour sort! Don't forget to collect the canopic jars, continuously using the colour sort (use the teal as the third last match of each line) and don't make me angry!
The bonus starts at 51 seconds.
An ibis head, which represents Thoth.
Question 9:
A death deity in Ancient Egypt who weighed the spirits of the people before choosing the realm they should be. He is
A. Anubis
B. Hermes
C. Nephthys
D. Osiris

Answer coming soon!

Wednesday, 25 April 2012

Luxor 3: Anubis crosses the Nile

Whoa, those colours carried by that black bug aren't in order!

My suggestion is to use colour bombs of four different colours and finish the remaining colour. Another strategy is to take out the four colours between the two same colours by using wild balls, then use two wild balls to clear the line. It took about five wild balls to clear that line. Use the fireball if you want to clear the line instantly. I hope this will help you!

Tuesday, 24 April 2012

Luxor 3: Lotus Bloom

In Ancient Egypt, the lotus in hieroglyphs means 1000. The lotus is sacred in Ancient Egypt because it is sacred to an Ancient Egyptian god.

Okay, not enough information yet, we need to discus this map. The bugs appear from the top then move cursively then turned to another direction (notice some part cannot be seen during turning), and going to one of the pyramids indicated by the gate by going vertical then turn horizontal then turn down and do a small curve and finally reaching the pyramid by going horizontally and take a small turn.

Can be a little difficult I guess. The fireball and the colour cloud can be handy against curves. It's squiggly at the top so you need the speed shot. Since the track is short, you need the pyramid blocker. The sandstorm might be useful against the horizontal tracks and the squiggly part at the top.

Can't they use a real flower instead a lotus on the wall?

Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, slow, wild ball, reverse, net, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, pyramid blocker, colour sort, sandstorm

Monday, 23 April 2012

Luxor 3: Defender of Thoth

Yep, another Onslaught. The teal has the colour sort and the colour sort is the handiest among all powerups (I guess). Perhaps try use that in some Onslaught levels, although the lines are short. Handy or not, I need to test it out!
