Affiliates	Biscuit Brigade Game Guide Biscuit Brigade is one of the coolest game to hit Neopia. It is also one of my favorites. I started making this guide when I found out that some of my guild members didn't know how to play the game. Now, it's completely finished! Horray! Click here to play the game! Neomail Me! Basics To play the game, you really have to understand a few key things: You don't control the cannons AT ALL. All you do is place them. The form of currency in this game is parts. The number of parts you have determines the amount of cannons you have, as well as how strong your weapons are. Strategy, strategy, strategy. This is basically what your success in the game depends on. Make sure you have a good one! Your job is to set up a series of towers and blocks to destroy your enemy, the cookie-snatchers. Like mentioned above, this whole game depends on your strategy. To build a tower, you click on the "Add Tower" button and move your mouse to where you want your tower to be. Once you have it in place, left-click to place it. Once you place it, click the tower again and a pop-up box will come up. You now have to decide what weapon your tower will throw at the cookie-snatchers. The types of weapons are explained further in the "Towers, Blocks, And Decoys" section of this guide. To place a block, you click on the "Add Block" button and move your mouse to where you want your block to be. You can place multiple blocks at a time. Building a decoy is about the same as building a tower, you have the choice of adding another cookie to your decoy to draw in more cookie-snatchers, or you can improve the appeal, drawing the cookie snatchers in closer. Each upgrade to a decoy costs one part. Once you understand think you understand the basics, you should play a few games in practice mode to get used to the game. Game Modes Practice Mode: Awards no points, but gives you plenty of parts and time to get your tower building underway. Easy Mode: Awards half the points of Normal Mode, but offers bonuses in the form of extra time and supplies. Normal Mode: Awards full point amount, but does not offer any bonuses. Hard Mode: Awards twice as many points as Normal Mode, but restricts cookie supply, income, and starting funds. No extra time is provided. Time means the time between waves. Cookie supply is the amount of cookies you start out with. Income is how many enemies you have to destroy before you get a part added to your total amount. In Easy and Practice modes, you get a part for every cookie-snatcher you destroy. In Hard and Normal mode, you get a part for around every two cookie-snatchers you destroy. Starting funds are the amount of pieces you start out with. Knowing Your Game Field Cookie-Snatchers Cookie-snatchers are the game's enemies. They are little toys that King Skarl constructs to try and steal your cookies from your castle. Cookie-snatchers come in waves. The waves get harder and longer as the game progresses. With each wave, new kinds of cookie-snatchers are released. The newcomers require more shots to defeat. In the later waves, you'll encounter what looks like a little train. Once the train is defeated, (which takes a lot of shots) more little cookie-snatchers jump out of it. Annoying, isn't it? Towers, Blocks, and Decoys The towers, blocks, and decoys are the most important part of the game. They protect your castle full of cookies. (Really, would you want to leave a tower full of cookies unguarded like that? Especially when your brother is King Skarl? I didn't think so.) The towers also destroy the cookie-snatchers, (your enemy) providing the bulk of your score. But to successfully play the game, you need to understand the different kinds of towers, blocks, or decoys and what they do. These are tower types. Like mentioned above, they are very important in your game play. The towers help you defeat the cookie-snatchers by slowing them down or damaging them. I would recommend that you use a combination of single target stunners (Net Throwers) and long range area damagers (Rockets). These are blocks. They help buy you time to destroy them, but they break easily. Blocks only cost one part to build, so you can buy a bunch of them without spending too much of your precious parts. These are decoys. Decoys sometimes distract the cookie-snatchers and sometimes they don't. I wouldn't recommend using them, especially when you are on Normal or Hard modes, as they use up two or your already limited amount of parts. Game Strategies Below there is a list of possible game strategies you can use while playing. Please remember, it's fine that you use the strategies, but if you make your own guide for the game, please think of your own, or at least use your own images. I spent long hours perfecting these and if someone were to copy them that would make me sad.): This uses a combination of rockets and stunners. The rockets do the most damage to the cookie-snatchers, so use them. The stunners buy you some time, especially when the cookie-snatchers get faster and harder to defeat. They go in a diagonal direction, because that's the basic path most of the cookie-snatchers take to your castle. And finally, the blocks around the castle buy you some time if some of the cookie-snatchers make it that far. Pros: Very efficient in defeating the cookie-snatchers. Cons: Use up a lot of parts very fast. This is another possible strategy for you to use. I call this one the Fort Strategy for obvious reasons. This strategy uses a series of blocks and rockets. The blocks are arranged in "layers" and each layer has a couple of rockets to protect the other layer. I like this strategy because it's really effective. The only thing you need to remember to do is when a cookie-snatcher is about to smash through a block, just sell the block really fast, otherwise you won't be able to build anything there again! Pros: Very protective of your castle. Makes it hard for cookie-snatchers to get through. Cons: Uses up a lot of parts very quickly. Takes a long time to set up. Getting A High Score Now, you may be wondering, "I know how to play, I just want to know how to get a high score!" Well, the answer to that is to play the game on Hard mode. To get on the High Score List, you need a score around 7000, give or take a few points, depending on the time of the month. You can't get that high while playing on Easy or Normal mode. Remember, don't play on Hard Mode unless you're really comfortable with the game. Otherwise its like jumping into the deep end of a pool before you can swim. Pretty soon, you'll be in over your head. Good luck! Cheats! Typing "removedebris" will remove the screen of all the broken tower and block pieces! Type "recon" to display the cookie-snatcher's paths! Type "retreat" to display the cookie-snatcher's retreat paths!
