    Meerca Chase 2!
    Want the Avatar? Just want a better score than before!? Here's how:


    What's the game all about?

    In Meerca Chase 2 the object of the game is to run around the screen picking up yellow (happiness) neggs. There is no time bonus for doing this so you can go as slow as you want :)
    There are 6 game settings you can choose from:

    :arrow: Classic :arrow: Easy
    :arrow: Freestyle :arrow: Medium
    :arrow: Maze :arrow: Hard

    The easy, medium and hard dictate how fast you want the meerca to move. (Harder being faster) But they also give you more points per negg if you choose hard rather than easy.
    The same goes for the other list, if you choose Maze you will earn more points than in Classic.
    Therefore, you should play the game in Maze, Hard? Correct?
    Wrong.
    There are two more modes that are not listed there. One is more for fun so I will simply mention it at the end of this guide, but the other is called Gravity Mode.
    Ok so first things first, you will need to access the Gravity game mode.
    To do this, simply click on the one of the other options i.e. "Maze" to activate the controls, then type in "superextrahypergravitymode".
    Once you are playing the game this creates a 'hole' in the middle of the playing field that sucks the meerca towards it. However, this, as you will soon see, can be used to your advantage.

    What does this do then? Well compared to the mode settings "Classic" and 'Easy' it multiplies the value of your neggs by 6. Neat huh?
    This makes the basic negg worth 18, or the fish negg worth 900 points.

    Methods:
    There are two ways you can go about playing the game, I shall explain them both, one is better than the other in my opinion.
    :arrow: The first, and least favoured method is thus: As you can see when you type in the code, the difficulty is called "Stop 'n Go", this is a huge clue for how to deal with this mode. You can get about simply "tapping" the arrow keys to move the meerca in short bursts towards the neggs.
    This is a good beginners method and if you were to get a Fish Negg at the beginning of the game then perhaps this is the safest way to play.
    :arrow: My preferred way of playing is to pick a direction (either clockwise or anti-clockwise) and hold down the up arrow and tap left or right to turn the Meerca. This means you are constantly running around the hole. This is a great method for impatient people like me because you can get multiple games done in a few minutes! This method will take a bit of getting used to especially if you have not played on Gravity mode before, and if that is the case I recommend you start with the other method to just get the feel for the pull of the gravity.
    Although I say there are only these two methods you will need to use both of them if you want the avatar.

    "Tricky" Places:
    :arrow: As you can imagine, when you are starting out the hardest and most annoyign place to get a Negg is right close to the hole. However, it is possible to get every Negg except if you are unfortunate to get one appear directly in the centre of the hole.
    To reach a Negg that is on the edge, simply position yourself infront of it, but slightly to an angle, and let the gravity suck you down slowly. You can tap the up arrow to pull away a bit if you start to slide too fast.
    You need to position yourself at an angle so that you do not slide into your own tail and die.
    Once you slide into the Negg pull away slowly so as not to get tangled in your own tail. Continue the game as normal.
    :arrow: A Negg right next to a Red Negg is no trouble at all, simply use the "Stop 'n Go" method afore mentioned.

    Rewards
    The following trophies can be obtained from the game, if you get a high enough score.

    At around 2800 points, the gold trophy:
    [​IMG]
    At around 2500 points, the silver trophy:
    [​IMG]
    And at around 2200 points, the bronze trophy:
    [​IMG]

    The avatar avaliable from this game looks like this:
    [​IMG]
    And the score required to get it is 1250+

    I wish you all luck getting the avatar/trophy you want.

    Please feel free to ask any questions/post any comments :)

    Just for fun
    If you type in ferociousneggsareontheloose on the main game page you can play a really fun level :p All happiness neggs will be worth 7 points :)

    EDIT: Here is a video of me getting the avatar, you can see I used a mixture of both methods where necessary.

    I didnt know if I had to upload it to anywhere special... Sorry for the poor quality it was filmed on my phone.

    What do you mean how it works? You just have to avoid the black hole in the center that is drawing you towards it. ;(

    Yeah i know that but when im playing it, it does like a half circle, a full circle at most and then goes straight into the hole.

    o_O I assume you are holding down the up arrow then? You have to be tapping left or right (depending upon direction of travel) to stay away from the circle. You should be roughly halfway between the circle and the edge of the playing area at any time.
