UPDATED MINIGAME GUIDE

About 2 months ago or so I made a blog giving tips on the competitions here: https://kovaze.com/blog/85563 Well now it's updated! Now that we have 4 new comps, I added them alongside the other minigames (and the 3 retired ones for when they come back). In case you're too lazy to check: WaterTank Preferred Device: Any Average: 5k Good: 6k+ WaterTank is the best comp on the site. It's really simple, it's easy, it's quick, and most of all, it's never luck based; only your own skill and perception. My biggest tip for WaterTank for those of you who just want to get out of the 4k abyss; STOP PLAYING IT RISKY! Stop trying to get those 900+ scores and aim for 750-800. If you get 8 rounds of a score of 750+ that already breaks 6k and you're in the A tier for WaterTank. My personal strategy is to use my cursor/finger to follow along after the water goes invisible so I don't go over, with a combination of counting to see how long it takes for it to go invisible (and repeating those increments in my head so I don't get lost). It works 90% of the time! Weightlifting Preferred Device: PC Average: Like 6-7k Good: 10k+ The other fully skill based comp, because it runs the same every single time. Unfortunately, it's probably going to get taken down again bc of the glitching but whatever.bThis was one of my favorite comps when it was first released, even though I was HORRIBLE at it lol. When you understand weightlifting, your average will slowly get better until you reach a certain point! Connor made a blog about how to do weightlifting that I think helps, so I'll drop it here: https://kovaze.com/blog/112036 I'll make a video on the gameplay later, but basically you NEED to actively be pressing back and forth to keep the ball in the green starting around the silver bars. When it's bronze, I don't even tap my arrow keys until about 12 seconds in, and even then I only tap like once to twice until it reaches 30 seconds. Basically, the weights gradually need you to tap/press/hold more as the timer goes on until you're basically HOLDING down for dear life. Around silver is when you need to start aggressively tapping to keep it in the green, because you score alot more points when it's in the green, and it's infinitely harder to score points when the bars are gold compared to silver. Once you get to gold you're basically tapping and holding to keep it centered, and it becomes endurance; how long can you last? I'll make a video on the gameplay later. Balloons Preferred Device: A TOUCHSCREEN DEVICE. Average: 1200 Good: 1400+ Honestly I'm not the best at balloons... I only pop like 400 balloons every round. The biggest advice I can give is to prioritize speed over accuracy because the more sets you go through (unless you're really bad...) the more balloons you'll correctly pop, which correlates to more points. My one thing is, ESPECIALLY if you have specific devices that don't register your taps well? Tap HARD. And AGGRESSIVELY. Because otherwise you might end up popping like 5 small balloons before you realize that big balloon you thought you popped was still there. The lag on Balloons needs to be fixed. TreasureHunt Preferred Device: A TOUCHSCREEN. Average: 600 Good: 900+ Some of yall 'bout to be real mad at me... but it must be said. NO LONGER will we gatekeep TreasureHunt strats. Now if you're Evan you're going to do some crazy strategy and get like 1300, but if you're the rest of the Kovazian public... you just want something fast and easy. So let me tell you the trick. Pick a corner, any corner. You get a number? Go up/down/left/right (whatever you choose will work) that many spaces. If you hit a corner, turn the corner and continue until you're at the space. Then, tap that space. You get another number - an EVEN number. (Unless you messed up.) NOW. You have to go DIAGONALLY HALF the number you get. I'll upload a picture later that explains what I'm talking about, but here's an example: I start at the bottom right corner. I get the number 5. I go UP 5 spaces. I tap that square. I now get the number 8! I will go DIAGONALLY 4 spaces. In what direction, you may ask? DOWN AND LEFT, because I started on the BOTTOM RIGHT - I have to go the opposite of what side I started and I go in the same directon that I STARTED in. I'll also link a video to this gameplay! Sometime tomorrow I'll drop links of me playing some comps that I think are best explained with a visual demonstration. Until then, I hope these tips help!
