Extreme Herder 2 Guide








In Extreme Herder 2, you play as a Kacheek named Samrin. Your job is to "herd" the petpets into the fenced area. You pick petpets up with space and can set them down with space as well. You must do this without Balthazar eating the Samrin or the petpets. Unlike the older version, there is no time limit or time bonuses. You have three lives and you lose one if Balthazar eats you or a petpet. There are four powerups that you can get.

  • Apple- Makes all of the petpets go to one area. Pick it up, then place it in the spot.
  • Orange Crystal-Makes Samrin run faster
  • White Crystal-Freezes Balthazar
  • x2 Symbol- Lets you carry two petpets for an amount of time
Here are some tips to help you earn a better score.

1. Go for the powerups if they are close by. Different powerups will help you depending on the situation you are in.

2. Go for the pets close to Balthazar. If you save these pets quickly, then Balthazar won't have time to eat them.

3. Identify which sides are open at the beginning. As you go on to harder levels, some sides become shut off so you cannot place petpets through that side. If you know which ones are open in the beginning, you won't waste precious time going to an open gate.

4. Use the outsides to your gain. On each outer wall there is an opening that you can wrap around to the opposite side. Use these to get to the petpets quicker.

Because this game is the current Game Challenge, you can earn these special items for a limited time.

Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers Guide

Extreme Faerie Cloud Racers is the new version of Faerie Cloud Racers. The real differences are that it's in a 3d style view, there are powerups, you can get bonus points, and there are a set amount of lives per game. There is a main 3d view and a minimap view as well. Each round you compete against three other faerie racers. Use the left and right arrow keys to turn left and right. You try to cut off their path to cause them to crash and keep yourself from crashing into other paths or walls. If you win a round you move on the the next one. You get progressively faster in each round. There are three powerups that let you; go through paths, slow you down, and make your path last longer.  You can also get bonus points in different amounts for making tight turns. Here are some tips to help you.

1. Do not use the main view! Always look at the minimap because you can see everything better.

2. Don't aim for powerups, the only one that is worth it is the Slorg one because you go slower. Only try to get them if they are close to you.

3. Each level do the same thing. Try to make yourself get into a rhythm of what to do over and over. Personally I go in a small rectangle each round.

4. Don't try for bonus points. A few extra points isn't worth a death.

With these tips it is pretty easy to get on the highscore tables with a bit of practice.
My second try at the game using only these tips.
