WELCOME TO MY

Whack a Kass guide

Introduction

After being frequently asked about my bronze Whack a Kass trophy and high score, I decided to write a guide for the game, to help people get the avatar, a higher score, and maybe even one of these shiny trophies!



However, if you think that you can browse through this guide, play the game a few times, and get the avatar and a trophy, you are badly mistaken. Whack a Kass is a game of skill that you'll get better at every time you play it. If you are not willing to put that effort in to it, it's a waste of your time and my guide.

In this guide I've tried to add something extra. I've tried to explain how I play Whack a Kass and how I got the avatar and trophy, hoping that this might help you get yours. This means that I do not always agree with other Whack a Kass guides.

Basics

You play the blumaroo who has to whack a Kass puppet as far as he can with either a bread (level 1), stick (level 2) or bat (level 3) in its hands.

You play the game by using either the left mouse button or spacebar. I always use the spacebar but some people prefer to use the mouse, so use whatever works for you. Because the spacebar is more 'stable' I advise to try the spacebar first. If this is not working, try the mouse for a change.

Strategy

The first thing you need to know is that you'll have to wait for the windspeed to get to 9 before letting the kass puppet fall for you to hit it. You can also whack at windspeed 8 but this WILL make a difference! You let Kass fall by pushing the spacebar/left mouse button



The sooner you hit the puppet, the further you'll whack it. Try to hit Kass at his beak. This means that you'll have to be a bit earlier than what you see on screen.



Once you've hit him keep your spacebar/left mouse button down in Kass' way up until it reaches his highest point.



When he reaches his high point (following image), immediately let go of the spacebar/left mouse button so that Kass begins to flap his wings (second image). This will slow him down and makes him descend a lot slower!





When he finally reaches the ground it is time to let him bounce as many times as you are able to. You need to push the spacebar/left mouse button down for this.

A lot of guides state that you need to push down the spacebar/left mouse button when you hear him touching the ground. This does not work for me! I experimented a bit with the bouncing and discovered that it was best -for me- to push the spacebar/left mouse button just a nanosecond before he touches the ground. I've gotten 5 bounces in a row so far, so for me this really works. This might not work for you though, so I recommend you experiment a bit with the bounces.

Remember! This is a game that you need to 'feel' before you can get high scores. It takes a lot of practice.

The tree as a bat

Although it is very rare, you can get the tree as a bat to whack Kass with. When you give it a good whack with the tree it's almost impossible to not get an amazing score and to not get on the highscorelist. However, this is, like I said, VERY RARE! In all my years of playing Whack a Kass it has never happened to me. But you can see images of it in other Whack a Kass guides.

Trophies

Relying on getting the tree as a bat is not the best way to try to get a trophy. Just make sure you can score at least 1175 and then try your best when the scores are reset at the 1st of the month. That is the way I got my trophy, and with 1179 it was only a bronze one (and I was quite lucky with that too!), so you can imagine that Whack a Kass is not a game to get a quick trophy that practically everyone has!

The avatar

As opposed to the trophies, getting the avatar is not as hard. It requires a score of 850†. If you follow these rules you're bound to get it sooner or later:

1 - Wait till the wind is at 9
2 - Whack Kass at his beak
3 - Spacebar/left mouse button down until Kass is at his highest peak
4 - Bounce as many times as you can (experiment!)
5 - PRACTICE!!!
