Hello guest! Thanks for coming to my Stowaway Sting guide! You're most likely here to try and get the Deckswabber avatar, or maybe you just like stalking my petpages. Either way I hope you find what you need ;D

This guide was made to help you get this avatar:

The score for the avatar is 1200+

Maybe you'll even get good enough to try for a trophy?;D

**Please keep in mind, if trying for the trophy, you need a lot of luck. Skill will get you far in this game, but you need maximum diamonds to reach the trophy scores!


Started 4/6/09

Tips

1. Keep the sound on, but the music off. The sound lets you know when diamonds and bags appear and can be very helpful :)

2. Don't get distracted, there is no pause in the game except between levels, so make sure you've gone to the bathroom, yada yada ;D

3. Don't get mad at yourself! I didn't get this avatar overnight and neither will you (unless you're like super good.)

4. Take breaks. If you're getting frustrated it's not going to help your game at all. Chill :)

5. Do the first few levels a few time to get used of the controls and work on becoming a quicker mover!

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!

The Basics

You play as the character Scrap

Basically, you're trying to collect as much treasure as you can before the timer runs out while steering clear of the 'thugs'. Don't worry it's not as hard as it sounds :)
Bad things:
These are the thugs:

Box of Spears:

These take away your health when you step on them, so try to avoid them as much as possible!
Sinkhole:

Do NOT step in one of these! If you do, it's game over!

Good things:

Bags are worth 20 points each.

Diamonds are worth 50 points each and don't show up until level 3!
You can use the code scrap once per game to gain all your health back! Use this wisely (:

Make sure you don't just try to finish the level as fast as you can without paying attention to the treasure! You need those points more than you need the time bonus (:

Level One

Very easy level. There is a maximum of 4 bags in this level and you need to get them all! My suggestion is to step on all the blocks except one in the middle. So when you are waiting to get the last bag you are in the middle of the board, with only once space needed to complete the level. Like the screenie below:

In that situation you would go around the blank area, get the bag, and complete the level :)

You should have 162-171 points by the end of Level One.

Recap:
4 bags
162-171 points

Level Two

Still an easy level.

You are thrown a few obstacles you have to get by: One thug, boxes of spears and a sink hole.

The biggest thing to worry about in level two is not to lose any health except for clearing the two spaces at the far right of the level. You will be happy you have more health in later levels - believe me.

In this level I clear all the spaces except for the two on the far right. (the ones left blank in the picture below). That way I can safely navigate though the level past the thug, and get all the bags then go and finish off the last two to complete the level.

You need to collect 5 bags in this level before you complete it!

You should have 336-345 points by the end of Level Two.

Recap
5 bags
336-345 points
Almost at full health.

Level Three

It starts to get a little more complicated in Level Three, but don't worry! (:

Obstacles:
Two Thugs
6 Sinkhole
Boxes of Spears

You will be losing some health in this level, but do not let it get under gold/yellow! You don't want to use your code this early in the game!

You need to keep your eye on the timer! If it helps get to this level a couple of times and practice navigating around it, until you feel comfortable and go at a nice pace. You will need to be quick and accurate for later levels.

The thugs are fairly easy to avoid, you may need to step on them once to get to a diamond or bag if there's no alternative route.

If you look at the screenie above, I went on all the spaces that I could do without losing my health. That way I can get the first three bags, then go finish the rest of the level. You may have to lose some health like I did above getting to diamonds quickly! It's okay if you have to lose some health to get them!

You need to get a total of 5 bags and a maximum of 2 diamonds in this level. The diamonds appear randomly so you may not get two or even one! If you don't get at least one I'd start over. The good thing is the first two levels are easy to re-do (:

You should have 555- 615 points at the end of this level.
(Don't worry if your score is a little bit lower!)

Recap:
5 bags
1-2 diamonds
555-615 points
Health not farther then gold/yellow. (between the A and L is about as far as it should go)

Level Four

Level four is when they introduce what I call the "changing tiles". All this means is that after the tiles turn blue, if you step on them again they turn blank.

Obstacles:
Two Thugs
Boxes of Spears
One Sinkhole

Luckily there is a nice little trick I like to use on these levels!

Looking at the screenie above you can see I turned what was once a blue square blank again. A quick, easy way to get it back to blue is to walk towards the wall! You won't go anywhere but your tile will turn blue! This seems like a simple thing that might not help much, but believe me it does ;)
This is nice to use when a bag shows up and you need to get it and change the tile back to blue.

This next screenie is a little more complicated, but it looks worse then it is!

Basically this should kind of look like your board when you're close to being done, and are just waiting to get the rest of the bags. Where Scrap is in the screenie is where the bag was.

The red dot it where I started. (See how there is one blank space under the red dot? That is the last space I will step on to complete the level)

The red line is the path I took to get to the bag, the green is the path coming back. When I got the bag, I stepped into the wall to turn the space blue again then went along the green back to my starting place! The green dot is where I ended. Then from there I can go to the next bag and repeat the process until I have 5 :)

Use this idea throughout the level and you should be fine! Be sure to collect 5 bags, sometime you may be able to get 6 :) Diamonds randomly show up in this level as well, get them if you see them! Your health should be about the same as it was from the last level, unless you had to lose some to quickly get a diamond. You shouldn't use your code yet (:

Recap
5-6 Bags
0-2 Diamonds
800-925 points
Again if you're a little under it's okay!

Level Five

This is my favorite level :) But it can be a bit complicated and many people die on this level. Just stay calm, use my tips and you should be fine :D

Obstacles
Two Thugs
Two Sinkholes
Boxes of Spears

In the screenie above you can see my health is between the H and the E. If this happens you should use the scrap code! Why not just wait for a heart? Because the heart takes place of the diamonds! The points are more important :)

You can also see how I finished off the left side of the board first, that part can be the most trickey because you have to go over the tiles a few times, so get it out of the way first! If a bag happens to appear over there, use the trick I told you about in level 3, backtrack, backtrack, backtrack!

If you see where the skeith thug is that is where I like to finish the level, get all the tiles around it and then go up there to finish (:

Try to get at least 5 bags, 4 will work if you've been lucky with the diamonds.

Recap
5+ Bags
0-2 Diamonds
Almost full health (if you used the code) If not, above where you should use the code.
1000-1170 points
You should know by now not to worry if you're a little under ;)

Level Six

Doesn't this level look familiar? ;D You should be an expert at navigating through this level now ^_^ It's the exact same as level 3! Only difference is the tiles change. But you already know how to deal with those (:

Again like in level three try to get 5 bags, and up to two diamonds! Keep part of it blank, which is where you'll finish. In the screenie above, I left the right corner blank :)

Watch your health and time! If you're getting low on health a heart may appear instead of a diamond, get it!

You should have enough points for the avatar at the end or during this level. If so, congratulations!! If you don't keep going!

Level Seven

I'm not going to lie, this level is pretty difficult. Instead of the tiles just changing blue, you have to go over them again to change them green. On top of that, if you step on the green they turn blank again! But thankfully you shouldn't have to finish the level to get the avatar score!

Your only goal in this level should be to get the bags and diamonds to get up to the avatar score! Good luck (:
