Hi Anonymous!

Extreme Potato Counter

Hello all!

I'm here to celebrate a game played all throughout Neopia; a game that is loved by all; a game that involves a tightly knit ball of starch compounds, farmers, and other extreme, wacky oodles of fun! Yes, I am, of course, talking about Extreme Potato Counter!

In this article, I will refer to you, my fantastic readers, as spud counters. Because I can.

So: buckle up; sit back; and enjoy!

Intro

We left the story where Alton Moughbry, potato counter extraordinaire, was happily counting his potatoes in his farm, in a tight little corner of Meri Acres. In a cruel twist of fate, he was fired by TNT, in favour of somebody 'cooler'. Unfortunately, due to skill shortages in Neopia, they had to make do with a dressed up Wocky who says 'TUBULAR' a bit too much.

Objectives

Yes, Extreme Potato Counter is almost like the original, however, it is EXTREME!

The main objective of the game is to, like the original, well, count potatoes. Except in this version, being EXTREME and all, the potatoes fly across the screen, and some foreign objects do as well.

Let me stress?

Let me say: this is not the time to get a drink, go potty, or get more jellybabies, as there is about a 15 second delay before *BAAH* game over. So, enter your score, enter it correctly, and enter it quickly! As the game progresses, more potatoes come, and they fly across faster. Another noticeable difference as the game progresses is the introduction of foreign objects ? other vegetables which are not potatoes. Make sure you only count the potatoes.

Tips

Note: these tips may not work for everyone

1) Focus on the middle of the screen, and only notice when potatoes come in. This will make sure that you do not follow an individual potato across the screen. Following an individual object across the screen will distract you, and often throw you off your count.

2) Have a calculator on hand. Firstly, set it so that when you press the "equals" sign (=), the number on the display goes up by 1. You can do this by first turning on your calculator, subtracting 1, which gives you -1, then adding one, which gives you 0. When you start the game, every time you see a potato, you press equals once, and at the end, you read the display to find the answer!

3) (This tip submitted by sheepmad4eva!) Sometimes, it may be helpful to "zap" the potatos with your calculator. Instead of pressing when you see, point your calculator at the screen and "zap" in the direction of the potatos, like a remote control. It may sound silly but it really improved my score.

4) An alternative to the tip above is to have a sheet of paper next to you, and each time you see a potato, you make a mark, or a tally. I have problems with this as it distracts me from the game.

5) Play EPC on fullscreen. It makes focusing on the middle of the screen (#1) easier, as the potatoes are bigger, and are easier to see.

Cheats:
As far as I know of, there are (currently) no cheats. :( If I am wrong, please Neomail me!

I've come to the end of my little guide on Extreme Potato Counter. So I bid you farewell, readers, and happy spud counting!
