ROAD MAP

 

Introduction:

This is a very addictive puzzle game where you need to get 4 squares of the same number to make a bigger one, where they will evolve to the next number (1->2, 2->3, 3->4 and 4->1). The idea is to get a lot of points and combos. If you clean the board with combos you will do a Numblast (which will also give you 2 trophies).

 

Step 1: Puzzle Mode

First, I recommend you do Puzzle Mode on your own without using any guide, as you will learn the basics and begin to think logically for the moves and combos you'll need to use in the game. Do not initially concentrate on the gold but on the fewest moves YOU can do and get bronze, silver or gold medal if you can. If you get stuck, use the video guide linked in the Akasaka Imposter trophy.

 

Step 2: Cleaning up Puzzle mode

Get any gold crowns that you missed the first time. Again, try doing them on your own because this is very important and will help you in the game. Use the video guide if you are having trouble.

 

Step 3: Endless mode on Easy and Medium

Now start the first two difficulties on Endless mode, where you can obtain 5 trophies. Start with Easy and get used with the full board and the stone numbers. Go for the level 10 and 30 on both modes. Also, try getting a numblast on the first 10 levels on easy - if not, restart. Use the method detailed in the Count Pork trophy.

 

Step 4: Time Trial mode

Four trophies can be gained here. Use the same methods you used in previous steps, you'll just need to be quicker since this mode is timed.

 

Step 5: Endless on Hard

Here's the true challenge of the game. You will get the last three trophies in this mode. Determination, patience and concentration will be needed for this part.

The best method is this one, where you create a "snake" combo:

If you don't understand what he is doing, here's an example of a snake combo:

I hope you see the path that starts in the lower left corner. When switching the yellow 2 and the tan 1 to make a square of 4 1s, you will do the snake combo. You have to start that path like in the video and example (lower left or right corner) with a number that you can quickly start with. If the closest is 2, start with that and so on.

 

Here are the starting models:

Beware starting with one of these will lock you further, if you try them all you will understand what I am saying but I will update.

Mr. Caterpillar(B)

1 or more Total Blasts in Time Trial

 

Use the "snake" combo as detailed in Count Pork. You might need a little luck to get this.

Self-evolving Cat(B)

1 or more Total Blasts in Endless Mode

 

This is easier done in Endless mode on Easy. Try getting it before Lv. 10 because afterwards the numbers turn to stone pretty fast. If you don't get it just restart and try again. Again use snake combos or just use your own method if you have developed one by now.

Frog Prince(B)

Receive Gold Crown in Puzzle Mode

 

See Akasaka Imposter.

 

Most likely you will get this on the first puzzle without really trying. The Gold Crown is needed only on one puzzle for this trophy.

Complete Lv. 50 in Endless Mode (hard)

 

First start on Easy until Lv. 30, it will not be too hard but it will give you time to get the hang of the game. Use the snake combo method from Count Pork, practice and try to find your own style. By the time you start on Lv. 30 on Normal it will be much easier. Determination and concentration is needed here.

 

For Hard mode, practice, practice, practice! That is the only thing I can say, go for it and you will get it. It's not impossible, but it's very hard.

Akasaka Imposter(G)

Receive Gold Crown for all puzzles

 

I recommend you to do the puzzles on your OWN first. Use the guide linked below only if you are stuck, because doing them without the guide will help you with the Endless playthroughs.

 

Here is a playlist with video guides for all the puzzles in the game. Credit for this video guide goes to Kr1st0ph212.

You mention that you'll explain the stone numbers - but I can't find an explanation. I want to know any strategies on dealing with those stone numbers, as that's what always traps me in Hard mode.

 

Easy and Normal modes aren't all that challenging; but Hard really ramps up the difficulty. I'm missing levels 30 and 50 of Hard, so there's obviously something I need to add to my gaming technique to reach those levels.

I turned the stone numbers after I created a chain and thus leaving a gap for a little while.

At this point try to move the stone blocks around so they're not clustered anymore.

Now you can quickly make new chains with moveable numbers + stone numbers.

 

I noticed at the 10/20/30/40/50 stages things tend to go very fast, try to have a combo ready when you reach those stages.

Or atleast alot of equal numbers next to eachother, as soon as the star pops it'll be more likely you clear more blocks.

 

Btw, when you have a chain going you can add blocks to it if you're quick.

Use this to erase some stone blocks.

You can't move 4 of them, but as long as you keep 1 corner on the chain (just as it turns red) you can quickly move 3 blocks.

 

Hope this helps a little, don't give up ;)
