“Advert Attack” is a fast-paced game on Neopets that tests your ability to manage pop-ups while scoring points. To maximize your success and dominate the competition, follow these strategic tips and tricks.
Start with the Right Setup
First and foremost, choose the SMALL (640×480) window size for the game. This smaller screen minimizes the need for excessive movement, allowing you to focus more effectively on the task at hand. Personally, I find it easier to position the game screen at the top-right corner of my monitor. This placement helps to keep the gameplay area clear of distractions, especially when those pesky Kyrii, BD, or Money Tree ads take over the upper half of the screen. If you prefer a different position, feel free to experiment to find what works best for you.
Game Mechanics and Counting
Each level consists of 30 “Go” stars that you must collect. In the beginning, you won’t encounter pop-ups. As you progress, you should count each “Go” star as you collect them: “1, 2, 3…” and so on. This counting technique allows you to keep track of your progress without getting distracted by the spaceship graphics.
Handling Pop-ups
Once you reach the second level, pop-ups will start to appear. Here’s how to handle them:
- IGNORE all pop-ups except those that are directly in your immediate playing area. This strategy prevents unnecessary distractions.
- If pop-ups do appear but are not obstructing your gameplay, you can choose to move them rather than close them. I find it easier to hit the “X” on some pop-ups instead of the “Close” button.
- Keep your focus on counting the “Go” stars; this helps you gauge when it’s necessary to deal with pop-ups.
Utilizing the Nopopup Cheat
When you accumulate around 400 points (aim for 500), an intermission will occur where Sloth makes an appearance. Here’s the crucial part: type in “nopopup” (without quotes) and hold down the “S” button. This cheat is a lifesaver, as it clears all pop-ups currently on the screen once per game.
- Use this cheat strategically! Wait until you’re about to beat the level and reach 550 points before activating it. Timing is key, as it will help you clear the area just when you need to focus on scoring.
Key Points to Remember
- Choose the small game screen window size for easier navigation.
- Count the 30 “Go” stars in every level to track your progress.
- Use an optical mouse for better precision.
- Position your game window in a comfortable spot on your monitor.
- Never close pop-ups unless they interfere with your gameplay.
- Utilize the nopopups cheat at the right moment to clear the screen.
By following these strategies, you’ll find yourself well on your way to mastering “Advert Attack” and dominating the competition. Good luck, and may your score soar!
