Introduction
Hello and welcome to the cavern where my treasures are stored. Look no further for you'll find no other! Here you will find the highly acclaimed guide to Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars. The guide was created with a certain purpose: to aid everyone who is in need of help with the game. Everyone who is eager to get the trophy, achieve a greater score or simply learn to play the game can find a handful of tips and strategies here.
Knowing I am no grand master of the game, I may not always be correct and I cannot guarantee you an easy trophy. I have tested everything I wrote in-game countless times and it helped me obtain high scores whereever needed. Additional details are also added to the guide to spice it up and make it look fabulous. If you want to offer me help on making the guide better, do not hesitate to neomail me. Credit will be given for every piece of advice I can obtain.
Game Information
Basics
| The primary goal of Evil Fuzzles, as stated in the original game description, is to 'go from one space station to the other, wading through the hordes of hostile alien fuzzles'. The core principle of the game is to obtain as many points as possible by eliminating fuzzles, clicking on them with your mouse. Additionally, there is no real need to use your keyboard while playing the game (including the control of Walker Bot's movement, which despite the fact that is made out of metal and is a robotic non-living being, manages to move on its own). | 
Who said Zygorax cannot use my auto-pilot? |
The game offers over 7000 meters to cross and 8 levels to complete, each of them longer, more difficult and with many more evil fuzzles to eradicate. Be wary as the fuzzles do not simply roam around without a particular purpose - they seek out to destroy you. And dare not forget - you have a limited amount of hit points which means game over once you run out of them.
Game Features
Before getting to learn all the tips and tricks in the game, I shall provide you with a quick introductory tour to the additional game's features. I take it that you understand the mechanics of aiming and shooting evil fuzzles, thus it is time to move on. I have gathered a list of items and objects you will find in the game, ranging from the game screen inventory to in-game buyable weaponry. For most cases I used the original descriptions that can be found in the game, for some others I added a deeper explanation.
 |
The crosshair not only serves you as a cursor in the game, but also serves as your primary weapon against the evil fuzzles. As you guide your mouse and move the target across the screen, clicking the mouse button upon a hostile fuzzle damages or destroys it. |
 |
The evil fuzzles are your primary goal and the worst enemy. Shooting a fuzzle gives you a 'hit' point which is later transformed into Virtucreds and game points. If you miss them and they hit your Walker Bot, they not only damage your hull, but may also break the multiplier chain (in later levels, 2 fuzzles - instant kill). |
 |
The mines are yet another opponent, however, not as harmful as the floating evil fuzzles. They usually do not deal much visible damage until later levels (averages 2-6 damage). Best be ignored for a better total game score. |
 |
Hull represents and indicates your Walker Bot's total hit points. The higher the number, the less susceptible to hostile attacks your Walker Bot is.
Add 10 points to your hull integrity (100 max). Costs 10 Virtucreds per purchase. |
 |
Shields indicate how much damage you can resist without losing hit points from the hull tab. Activating a shield protects your Walker Bot from incoming attacks and increasing its hit point total. The higher the number of shields, the more times you can use the shields to repel the evil fuzzles.
Shields put an extra cover 20 hull integrity points. Costs 10 Virtucreds per purchase. Has to be activated. |
 |
Repair Droid is a sentient being, continuously roaming around the Walker Bot, gradually repairing its hull and restoring hit points. Repair Droids can increase your health points beyond the 100 integrity cap.
Droids constantly restore your hull integrity. Costs 25 Virtucreds more per level upgrade. Works passively. |
 |
Radar is an extra installation of your Walker Bot's monitor, allowing you to see unnoticed evil fuzzles coming to attack you from the sides.
Radar warns you of the mutants that come at you from the side. Costs 25 Virtucreds to install. |
 |
Mega Gun indicates the level of Walker Bot's primary weapon. The weapon can be upgraded, therefore increasing its damage output. The level of the Mega Gun measures the amount of clicks required to eliminate a mutant fuzzle.
Upgrade your gun level to a max of 6. Costs 50 Virtucreds more per upgrade (max 250). |
 |
Smart Bombs can be used to destroy all evil fuzzles on the screen at one certain time. The icon indicates how many bombs you have, therefore indicating how many times you can wipe out your enemies.
Clear the screen of Evil Fuzzles with one shot. Costs 10 Virtucreds per purchase. Has to be activated. |
 |
Stun Bombs can be used to stun evil fuzzles when they get near your Walker Bot, securing it for a period of time from getting breached. The icon indicates how many bombs you have, therefore indicating how many times you can stun your enemies.
Stun enemy Fuzzles for a short length of time. Costs 10 Virtucreds per purchase. Has to be activated. |
Scoring
As we are all aware of the Neopets games' system, almost all of the games depend on the game score - the higher it is, the better value it will have. Scoring points in this game is different from other games of similar style as randomly clicking around will not earn you many points and you wouldn't want that, yes? This way you will not earn a spectacular score, not to mention high enough to get a trophy. Hence, you need a way to get more points and there is one trick to help you - the point multiplier.
As aforementioned in the section above, the point multiplier box gives you a handful of points when clicked. However, it is not a simple point boost - it is the game's decisive factor. The box first appears when you eliminate an evil fuzzle, carrying a 1X2 bonus and progresses with every consequently killed fuzzle. However, if you accidentally miss an evil fuzzle or a mine, the multiplier is reset to zero and you have to start the whole point multiplication process over.
The break point comes when you hit 10 fuzzles in a row. The multiplier shifts from x2 to x3, tripling the hit combo points instead of doubling. Another note on the acquisition of points - the mines do not count towards the multiplication bonus, giving you just a single point towards your 'hit' and game score. To ignore or not is up to you, although the quicker you get rid of the fuzzles, the more points you get. From my personal experience, better concentrate on the fuzzles and the multiplier bonus, unless you are in grave trouble.
Hear? Bow to me, for I am the most important object in the game! *evil laugh*
Tips and Tricks
| I suppose you've already tried out the game and the principles of Evil Fuzzles are clear to you. Therefore, you can skip up to this section. This part of the guide is the most important for those that seek to get better in the game and possibly aim for greater results.
Before launching the game window, make sure you select the appropriate quality and size settings. I prefer using higher quality, but on weaker computers it significantly slows down the game, possibly making the game lag. As for size settings, choose them according to your mouse sensitivity. In effect, large windows increase the accuracy and lower the chance of missing the target while smaller ones increase speed at which the fuzzles appear and disappear. I suggest you test out windows of various size to see which is the best for you. |
Come, young gamer. Master tips shall be granted to you! |
Always watch the screen and keep your mind concentrated! Like with any game, you must focus on the game and nothing else. You may not think about other stuff while playing Evil Fuzzles. Every tiny thought may distract you and you will lose time. Keeping your eyes peeled and your mind concentrated will help you make fewer mistakes. IF you desperately need to do something during the level breaks, relax and take your time - do what is necessary. Pauses may reduce the tension of both you and your eyes and help you later on. Personally, I finish the game first and then worry about other things, but sometimes the call of the nature is simply too strong to resist or to delay.
I set out to destroy you! Muahahahaha! |
Although opinions on this one may differ, but the safest and possibly the most efficient way to spend your Virtucreds is to invest them into your Mega Gun, performing an upgrade at every space station. The leftovers should then be either saved for later or invested into your Walker Bot's hull integrity and repair droids. To buy shields or not depends totally on you as well, because given the lack of time and the need to hit as many fuzzles as possible, I seldom take the risk of losing a few seconds (and, consequently, my concentration on the game) to activate them. Radar is another versatile option and depends totally on your needs. Although it is not a waste to spend the remainder of Virtucreds on it, it mostly makes me lose my focus and my nerve because of the red alert. Bombs are simply useless. However, opinions differ and the top gamers might have completely different attitude. |
Decide before you start whether you want music and sound on or not. The looping sound may distract you, while for some, it may be helpful. Usually, the same music and sounds begin to annoy in mid-game so I tend to make sure I have it turned off before launching the game. In some cases, hearing the sound of a destroyed fuzzle may give you a better idea when the next wave is going to appear. However, intense gaming as of late proved to me that listening to fast-paced music may help boost your reaction.
Be wary! As you advance, the Evil Fuzzles get tougher. If you increase your Mega Gun's level gradually and max it out, you will be able to eliminate fuzzles in one hit up to the 7th level. Personally, I find it to be the hardest level in the game as some fuzzles require two hits instead of one to be eliminated and you have to keep track of the color difference. Level 8 is easier as the fuzzles require two hits so you simply have to double-click on the fuzzle as swiftly and as accurately as possible. As well, there are no cheat codes to look out for so you are left alone with your skills.
An easy way to get a trophy in this game is to be the first to get the maximum non-reviewable score during the resets. As resets last the whole day, you have got to reach the score as early as you can or it may no longer guarantee you a trophy. The gold spots usually get occupied within 30-60 minutes from the reset. So basically, any score above the score of 1899 gets reviewed by the staff. This method of getting the trophy is only available on weekends or holidays when the better scores are to be reviewed.
To reach the score of 1899 during the resets, there are two different ways - one of them is pretty straightforward, the other - hidden and possibly a score calculation roundabout. The first one requires full attention to your score when you begin the last level. You have to calculate your hits carefully to get the exact score of 1899. That might involve hitting fewer multiplier boxes, fewer evil fuzzles and mines, instead, forcing you to concentrate more on the defensive side. That might be one of the only cases when bombs, shields and repair droids may prove useful. The second way requires attention to your score after you finish the last level. When the hits are being transformed into points, watch closely as the process goes on. Just when you are about to reach 1899, click the X end game button and the hit-to-point transformation will stop at the desired moment. It IS difficult to time it correctly, but it is possible.
NOTE: Remember to pick up the multiplier bonus! And this means you have to pick it up at regular intervals. This is very important because you might accidentally miss a fuzzle, hence losing the combo score. I, as most others, recommend to take the bonus every time 10x3 box pops up. Do not be afraid to click on it if there was an evil fuzzle nearby. When the two of them collide, you will always eliminate the evil fuzzle first. On the other hand, you may try to queue up as many combo points as possible. This way you may reach greater scores, at the expense of greater risk of losing.
Game Prizes
Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars is yet another neopian flash game. Even though there are no items to gain from playing the game, you may gain 1000 neopoints up to 3 times a day. Furthermore, the game has a set of game trophies for the advanced players to obtain. The current non-reviewable score is, as aforementioned, 1899. All scores below and equal to this number are accepted and, if high enough, they go into the high score table. Resets are the chance for the fortune's favoured, a time for swift and witty players to outwit the top gamers of Neopia and secure a spot among the trophy slots.
Gold Trophy (1-3) |
Silver Trophy (4-9) |
Bronze Trophy (10-17) |
In addition to the high score tables, the score is logged into your My scores section. Every Neopets flash game has a ranking associated with it and several levels that shift accordingly to the score. Evil Fuzzles is not an exception in this case, bestowed with 6 different ranks that can be acquired by reaching a corresponding score. Below you may find how many points are needed to acquire a certain rank.
| Beginner (0-303) | Novice (609-913) | Master (1143-1370) |
| Amateur (304-608) | Expert (914-1142) | Grand Master (1371+) |
Related Trivia
Like most of the other neopian flash games, Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars has a great deal of associated extras, ranging from items to miscellaneous images. While some have desktop backgrounds, fun images, buddy icons, screensavers, the others have associated special items, unique to the game, both on the game site and in retail (plushies, trading cards, etc.), are included in various stories, competitions, etc. I have tried to gather all the possible trivia into one petpage. While some might have been overlooked, those that weren't comprise up to 90%+ of the possible total.

Item Commentary:
While the list of items with the collocation Evil Fuzzles included in their name tags is rather short, there are a certain few of them available for purchase in Neopia. Although the items are not diverse in terms of their type, most of them toys, the diversity of their price and rarity speaks for itself: the price of some items goes up to as far as 2 to 16 million for a single fuzzly item. Therefore, establishing a full gallery would approximately cost 20-30 millions, so think twice before you plan to set up such an expensive gallery.

Therefore, establishing a full gallery would approximately cost 20-30 millions, so think twice before you plan to set up such an expensive gallery.
- As stamps and coins all go into the same stamp album, it is much more convenient to group them together. As they were released quite some time ago, they have been rising in price steadily ever since. Although they are scarce, it is still possible to see them restock at the stamp or coin shops, in spite of their small chance of appearance (R89, R92 and R99). However, the price tag varies accordingly, with the rarest item going past 10 million neopoints.
- Although to my taste, how these items look in your Neohome is astounding, the cost does not par up to most expensive items and can be seen sold in user shops for a rather low amount of neopoints. Nevertheless, these items are based on the Evil Fuzzles game and were released in October, 2003. The items still restock and can also be acquired from other places (Premium SHH, spinning a wheel, etc.). Their rarity difference is rather indiscernible, varying from R86 to R90.
- It is possible to either praise the decision to include the Evil Fuzzles in the Trading Card Game or complain about the pitiful amount of items corresponding to this classification. There is only a single Evil Fuzzle-related card available in store at the moment, but it no longer restocks at neopian shops (R101). However, it is extremely cheap and may be bought for an average price of 5-6 thousand neopoints. As for the collectible NeoDeck cards, there are no strictly-Evil-Fuzzle-themed cards available.
- The plushie section is the largest in terms of the Evil Fuzzle-based items. Originally, the evil fuzzlesappeared in Neopia as these plush toys and only later they were changed into Petpets (in Evil Fuzzles game only!). Although these plushies seem outdated, according to their old-looking graphics, they were continuously released until July 22nd, 2006. The rarity of these plushies spans from R60 to R101, while the whole plushie section consists of 24 items (one item is not listed, as it was not announced and released). Due to their rare appearance in shops, the rarest plushies cost past 1 million neopoints.
- While we could classify the toys and plushies under one tag, Evil Fuzzle toys are unique and distinctive. Both of them are placed at R101, thus they cannot be restocked. The source of these two toys is the Daily Dare that took place in March, 2007.
|
The Old Game Although I might have forgotten to mention this fact in any of the sections above, this version of the Evil Fuzzles game is a makeover of the old version, released a couple of years before the revamp. Even though neither prizes, nor neopoints or any other worthy material can be earnt by playing it nowadays, if you are interested in trying out the old game, be sure to visit the Game Graveyard in the Haunted Woods.
|
Although despite their evil plans to overthrow the universe and usurp the power, the Evil Fuzzles have so far been inactive and vigilant. Hence, there was no major involvement of these fluffy malevolent beings in any other part of Neopets site. However, the game has its own background, as well as a few buddy icons and fun images. In the early days of Neopets, around 2002-2003 there was a caption contest that involved Evil Fuzzles. More recently, the game starred in Daily Dare that took place in March, 2007, whereas on March 31, 2008, a Better Than You competition took place.
Additionally, as aforementioned in the item section, there is an fuzzle-related avatar to acquire. Do not have your hopes high up as, unfortunately, as it is not an Evil Fuzzle game avatar. The avatar is related to Evil Fuzzles but not the game itself. It is obtained when your pet plays with a Blue Evil Fuzzle. As a matter of fact, with such a long wait between the latest avatar releases it is possible that a game avatar might be released, although not with the game's current popularity. Periodically, though, the game is featured in Virtupets Space Station World Challenges sustaining an amount of devoted players.

About Me: Screenies
This section is a new addition to the petpage. Mainly, due to lack of space (or Neopets) on my account, I am unable to disperse all the info among petpages. Hence, I decided to use the downmost part of the guide as my screenies part. EVIL FUZZLES guide ends here! Once they are taken care of, the screenies I took at various points during my neo-life will be put up here. Enjoy!
