Animal Cove: Why You Should Give It A Chance!

Hi there!

Kingsisle has recently released a new mobile game, Animal Cove, globally on both apple and android devices! Animal Cove has so far averaged out 4.5/5 stars on Google Play and 4.8/5 stars on the App Store. Today, I thought I'd make a new blog post about why you should try out this new game. Before I share these reasons with y'all, let's talk a little bit about the game.

Animal Cove: Match 3 is a mobile game about a human (you) that gets trapped on a mysterious island with talking animals, a helpful new friend, and a billionaire! You have to help build a habitable island by restoring areas for all of your new talking animal friends. You're the only human that can talk to these animals, so you have to clean up the island, build a new home for you, and build homes for your new animal friends. In order to progress in the story, you have to earn keys. These keys can be earned by solving the puzzles, in which there are currently 300 puzzles/levels. This is a brief summary of the game. Here are three current things that I love about this new game:

The Storyline - My Review: 5/5

You start the game off by restoring a home for yourself and then building new homes for your talking animal friends. As you progress the game, you'll become interested in where the story is going. This is a match-3 game, but there is much more to Animal Cove than the puzzles itself. The storyline becomes very interesting and many times, hilarious!  I definitely give Kingsisle an A+ on the storyline. It's nice to see that this game team always sticks to their storytelling roots. I haven't been through the entire game, but I'm sure it gets even better as you restore the different areas throughout the game.

The Graphics - My Review: 5/5

I am not a major mobile game fan myself mostly because of the graphics of them. Kingsisle did a fantastic job on the graphics of this game. Starting off the game you get a cut-scene (which KI is known for in their computer games). This cut-scene surprised me because I felt as if I was watching a trailer for a new cartoon/movie. Their cutscenes are amazing, but so is the gameplay graphics from the puzzles to the idles of your friends. I apologize to other mobile game makers, but I am so happy that I can actually see the characters when they're walking around! Thank you for creating such amazing graphics... I may have to share more posts about my progress and new updates as I continue questing through this game.

Free To Play - My Review: 5/5

You can download Animal Cove for free on your Android and Apple devices. I'd say that this is definitely one thing that I love about the game and game team. Since the beginning, they've allowed players to try out their product for free with an option to buy items. You can complete the puzzles throughout the game. You don't have to buy anything, but if you would like to support Kingsisle to continue updating this mobile game - you have the option to buy coins, bundles, and a VIP membership.

Now I think I'm going to leave you to try out this new game. There is still so much more that I haven't even mentioned, but I left that out so you can check it out. If you do try it out, feel free to add me in-game by typing in "EdwardLifegem". Adding friends in-game will give you an option to send and receive lives (which you will need if you mess up on a puzzle). That's all I'm going to say about the game for now. Until next time, I'll see you around the... mysterious island!

I'm Busy Saving The Spiral!

Hello Wizards!

How have you been lately? I apologize for not updating my blog as much as I should! I've actually been busy preparing for a lot of community stuff such as Twitch, events, and even updating a few pages here on my website. It's been a very busy week, but that's fine! The next few months are still going to be amazing. :D

Keep your eye out for new event announcements (including Twitch Streaming in which we'll announce our streaming schedule soon). These next few months are going to be amazing! Well, I should get going. I have some plans to take over the... I mean... help the Spiral with its troubles! Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral (forget Grandmother Raven, I'm going to destroy it).

Pirate101: Witchdoctor Sidequesting!

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! This week has been amazing for two reasons: I've been planning events & I've got to quest in Pirate101. Lately, I've been questing with Autumn's witchdoctor to try to complete Valencia Part 2. We still have to do the last quest, but for now, we're catching up on our side quests!

Autumn & I quest our musketeers through the end of Valencia Part 2 a few months ago. We noticed at the time that there are a few side quests in VP2 that give quite a bit of experience points. Picking up your side quests and actually doing them really do help out in the long run. We received our final quest in VP2 at around level 67-68. Keep in mind that the level cap is now level 70, so we were behind a few levels. 

These side quests eventually help level me up to level 69 and Autumn up to level 70! Now, we had to travel to other worlds to complete these quests, but it was really easy experience points. So I'll stress it again to those who didn't watch our a stream a few months ago: Complete Your Sidequests! :D I should get going because we have to prepare to fight Kane! I'll let you know how that goes. Until next time, I'll see you around the skyways. :D 

The Rarest Treasure Cards In The Game!

Hello Wizards!

Treasure cards have always been an amazing feature in Wizard101. It's always nice to have stronger spells if you're a lower level wizard. I'm sure treasure cards have been a lifesaver for all of us. Today, I wanted to talk about one of these lifesaver treasure cards, otherwise known as Rebirth!

Life wizards are pretty awesome for having such an awesome healing card. Today we have a Rebirth Treasure Card that can be dropped from various bosses across the spiral, dropped in packs, that can be crafted, and bought for gold for around 1,500 gold. Now, you're probably wondering why you're reading a post about a card that you can get. Before I tell you about rare treasure cards, let's talk a little bit about the olden days!

From the launch of Wizard101 up until May of 2010, treasure cards could be made by using the card "Keen Eyes" and other enchantments. This card enabled all schools to make their own form of treasure cards and trade them with other schools. This meant that if you were a life wizard, you could trade a Keen Eye Rebirth Card with the Fire School! I can confirm right now that the top rarest treasure cards in the game are indeed the cards that could be traded by other schools using the different enchantments that we had at the time.

I remember an old friend back in May of 2010 trading me this card before Kingsisle removed this option. While Rebirth may be the rarest treasure card I have, there are different treasure cards of all schools (level 48 and below) that were made before Kingsisle removed this unintended feature. I am lucky to say that even the toughest battles didn't make me use this treasure card. I had no idea it would be this rare at the time, but I'll always remember to never use this card. Maybe one day in the future, I'll trade it to a friend dear to me. For now, I'll keep it as a memory.  Thank you all for reading this post. Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.
