escapades of the elusive kat

Here's an update post for a game I wrote about before: Walkr

I wrote about it in June 2016.... it's the only one game I've consistently played for so many years.

So by now I've unlocked ALL the planets.


However, each planet has a "secret" which can only be unlocked when you max out that planet's level. I'm working on that right now. It's a slow and painful process.


A lot of the interface has changed as well. The Factory page is a little hard to understand, but it seems you can use a combination of different satellites to create some sort of bonus for yourself.


The Bridge is pretty much the same. You choose your friends who are good walkers (produce a lot of energy) so that you can siphon from them LOL. The Epics are pretty much the same. The Social though, I think it's new. It's like the Bridge, but you are not interacting with your friends. You interact with other people, best similar thing I could compare it to are Guilds in other games. You mark a planet you want help with, and people give you their energy. Similarly, you should give energy to others too. This energy is used to upgrade your planets.

So, there's this game that has managed to get me playing it daily for the last 2 months. Yes, 2 months. 8 weeks! So, given that I didn't just give up the game after a couple days, I thought this meritted a post.


Valiant Force [Official Website] is a, hm... I'd say strategy game. You build your team consisting of up to 5 "Heroes" (characters), with hero placement being important as bonuses can be achieved with certain placements, and you fight monsters.


Virtually everything about the hero is customizable. You can equip with different equipments, upgrade equipments, upgrade your hero's skills, and attach "Runes" to give your hero other attributes.


Then there's also the "Promotion" system. Level up a hero enough, and with the correct items, you can upgrade and promote your hero. There's actually the whole "career path" for them. Some heroes are maxed at 4-stars, some at 5-stars. As you can see of "Kane" (above), he has a total of 4 final "jobs". Winry below is capped at 4-stars so there's only 1 level of promotion.


Battles are pretty simple. You decide who they attack by dragging on the bottom part of the screen, and that the upper screen does whatever on-screen sequence there is. For "special attacks" you get to see a whole other type of sequence too. (Kane's Gunslinger is overly cheesy).


So there are also a few different things to play around with. There's the normal storyline, then "events" battle, "daily gold rush", and a type of "tower defence" spin. There is also the "Arena" battles where you battle against other players and see whose team is better.


I'm still not very good at that so I've been losing more than winning, hahaha.


"Daily Quests" is also available, and that's basically what is making me stick to the game. It's different every day (almost) so it's not too repetitive, and the daily bonus are also quite attractive. Last but not least, there's also paid content, but we are not interested in that.


And this is what I've been wasting my time with...

I found something fun this time... This is only available in the iTunes Japan store, I think. Meanwhile, it has now gained an English name, called "Dandy Dungeon", I think eventually they'll translate the game and soon available worldwide. I think.

And yes, I have found another time-wasting game.... haha!

LOL I guess I don't really need to introduce this game as this is all the hype these days. But I felt like writing about it here so I can laugh about it in the future.

So the Pokemon Go game doesn't work in Macau. It loads up, the maps come out, but it's empty; there is nothing in it. No Pokestops, no Gyms, no Pokemons. I had to go to Hong Kong to help my Boss sort out some stuff, so of course, I took the chance.


( The game itself is pretty straightforward... )

So... that's what I'm partially wasting my time with lately.

I was a bit in a Health frenzy and was checking how to use my Apple Watch as a pedometer (I know the function's in there, I just have to find it), when I came across this game: Walkr.

So I've been wasting my time on a game, Kleptocats.


It is truly a heartfelt, time-wasting game. LOL. I guess it's like the other Japanese cat game... Neko Atsume I think.

With this game, you basically have to feed the cat or pet the cat until the "happy" gauge is full, then you can send him out.


The cat will come back after some time (it shows as a countdown, either some 1000-seconds or I've even seen 2000-seconds). It comes back bearing gifts, and sometimes money. So the point in the game is to collect all that crap the cat brings back and decorate your room (the item locations are all pre-set, so you can't "decorate" it as you like). You can collect more coins by watching ads. Collect enough coins and you can "buy" a new cat (randomly given you). The different cats don't do anything different. The only difference it makes is the cats actually appear with all the crap in your room, so say if "Harry" was hanging on the wall, and then you choose to use "Harry", then the cat that was hanging on the wall disappears (because you've called him to the front).

So, you don't really need technique, no plan, just a lot of time, and remember to check in once in a while. If you don't feed the cat the cat won't die. There's no "Love-o-meter" that you have to pet your cat so many times a day. So it's really 0 pressure in maintaining this game.

I suppose I should start a "things to waste my time with" tag... LOL...
