Tiny Pixel Farm: Walkthrough

February 27, 2019

Tiny Pixel Farm is an idle farming game, which is awesome for working people like me cos I only have to play it every few days and nobody dies unlike my poor villagers in VVO2. :(

Anyway, this game is multifaceted and can be very addictive because of the many things to do:

  • Buying land
  • Unlocking cages and animals
  • Collecting hearts from visiting animals 
  • Getting trees and getting juices
  • Upgrading the store
  • Upgrading the silo/fridge 
  • Hiring and training staff 
  • Expanding the hotel
  • Playing the truck dice game (in the farm)
  • Managing 2 different worlds - farm and island (unlocked at level 20)

My guide to efficient gameplay (without clicking on ads)

1. Know what is your objective is and head towards it

The aim of the game is really decided by you. You can plan to fill the encyclopedia (unlock all animals and hotel guests), or just earn as much cash as possible. 

To fill the encyclopedia
Fulfil the requirements for the animals and hotel guests
Get to level 40
Collect hearts from visiting animals
Level up your animals 
Purchase all land and upgrade the hotel to the max 
You can also click the ads to find out what the prerequisites are for the remaining characters

To collect cash
Get cages of the highest level animal and keep harvesting! 
There is no prime animal that earns more than others, but the value of the harvest increases with the animal's level. As such, the animal you got first will most likely be the one that you should go forth and multiply.


2. Cut the grass
For the first few moments of playing (before the money rolls in quickly), a good way to earn cash is to use your finger and swipe through the grass. This enables you to get occasional coins which goes a long way in helping you get enough to purchase stuff. 

3. Hire your first staff and upgrade him/her to level 2
People think that getting animals should be the priority, but really, "You don't build a business, you build people and then people build the business." Same logic. You get a staff that you can hire and upgrade him/her to level 3. Level 1 staff can cut grass, level 2 staff collect money and diamonds (EXP), level 3 collect animal harvest, and level 4 collect juice from trees. 

Get a staff and upgrade him/her to level 2 so that someone can help you to get coins. While doing so, continue cutting grass for coins. 

3. Buy your first cage
It wouldn't take too long for you to have your first cage. Get any cage - it doesn't make any difference which you choose. There are some cages with animals that perform/compete instead of having harvest. These cages are good in the later land unlocks, as they give you money immediately and they don't cram the store with products. Water bodies give products. 

Design of cages don't matter. A cage unlocked at level 30 VS one at level 0 has no implication on cost of products. 

4. Upgrade your staff to level 3
So that your staff can harvest goods or send the animal for a performance/competition.

5. Do the same for 2 more exhibitions.
You will hopefully have 3 exhibitions and 3 staff at level 3. 

6. Upgrade your silo/fridge.
You need to upgrade the silo/fridge so that the respawn rate is equal or more than the rate of feeding the animals. 3 exhibits is a good upgrade. 

7. Upgrade the hotel to 1 star. 
Hotel guests walk around the area and drop coins. It's good to meet a variety of hotel guests for the encyclopedia's sake. 

8. Get trees and juices.
More money in the same space, why not?

9. Upgrade your staff to level 4.
So they can harvest the juices too

10. Get cages and staff.
Do it until you have 5 cages, then upgrade your silo/fridge. The general flow is the same. 

By then you should be level 20 and will unlock the island. The island takes a bit more time to farm money and there is no truck mini game, but the graphics are cute and more animals perform rather than have products, so there is not much of a need to upgrade the store until about 4-5 land is unlocked. 

The game goes on and on, and I applaud you if you are able to unlock and upgrade everything, and finish the encyclopedia cos you will need a lot of patience and time for it.

Good luck and have fun!

Pokemon Quest Soup: Complete Guide

July 05, 2018
Other than the element of training your Pokemon to get to the higher levels, catching Pokemon is also important. In this game, we use a very child-friendly method of luring Pokemon with soup (instead of throwing all sorts of Pokeballs at random Pokemon).

Firstly, pots.

There are 4 pots and they give you various levels of Pokemon. They can be uncovered at various parts of the game.

1. Iron Pot (3 Ingredients)
Given at the tutorial
Attracts Pokemon up to level 15

2. Bronze Pot (10 Ingredients)
Given after completing round 3
Attracts Pokemon from level 16 to level 40

3. Silver Pot (15 Ingredients)
Given after completing round 6
Attracts Pokemon from level 41 to level 70

4. Gold Pot (20 Ingredients)
Given after completing round 10 (final round)
Attracts Pokemon from level 71 onwards
I personally like the bronze pot best because it helps me to get Pokemon of the right level to breed. When Pokemon are of higher levels, they take a longer time to level up and evolve. 


Secondly, quality of soup.

Other than the pots, the ingredients also make the quality of soup higher, which will attract rarer Pokemon. I won't be going through the ingredients because you can read it all from the game and is very self explanatory.

Quality of soups
1. Basic: 1-5 points
2. Good: 6-7 points
3. Very Good: 7-8 points
4: Special: 10+ points

The higher quality the soup, the more turns it takes to produce it (so the more turns, the better!)

Points are derived from the ingredients in the soup
Small ingredients: 1 point
Precious ingredients: 2 points
Very precious ingredients: 3 points
Mystical ingredients: 4 points
Rainbow Matter: 3 points, but it is somewhat like a joker card and does not add any value to the soup's requirements. This means that some soups cannot be enhanced with this and you have to find all the ingredients to make it.


Now the recipes

Note that these are the general recipes of ingredients required. Better quality ingredients (precious, very precious, etc.) will induce attraction to better Pokemon

1. Mulligan Stew à la Cube
5 of any Ingredient
Favorite food of some Pokémon on Tumblecube Island

2. Red Stew à la Cube
4 red ingredients, 1 anything
Favorite food of reddish Pokémon

3. Blue Soda à la Cube
4 blue ingredients, 1 anything
Favorite food of bluish Pokémon

4. Yellow Curry à la Cube
4 yellow ingredients, 1 anything
Favorite food of yellowish Pokémon

5. Gray Porridge à la Cube
4 grey ingredients, 1 anything
Favorite food of greyish Pokémon

6. Mouth Watering Dip à la Cube
4 soft ingredients, 1 blue ingredient
Favorite food of Water-type Pokémon

7. Plain Crepe à la Cube
3 sweet ingredients, 2 grey ingredients
Favorite food of Normal-type Pokémon

8. Sludge Soup à la Cube
4 mushrooms, 1 soft ingredient
Favorite food of Poison-type Pokémon

9. Mud Pie à la Cube
2 minerals, 3 soft ingredients
Favorite food of Ground-type Pokémon

10. Veggie Smoothie à la Cube
4 plants, 1 soft ingredient

11. Honey Nectar à la Cube

12. Brain Food à la Cube

13. Stone Soup à la Cube
1 mineral, 4 hard ingredients
Favorite food of Rock-type Pokémon

14. Light-as-Air Casserole à la Cube
2 plants, 3 minerals
Favorite food of Flying-type Pokémon

15. Hot Pot à la Cube
3 mushrooms, 2 red ingredients
Favorite food of Fire-type Pokémon

16. Watt a Risotto à la Cube
4 soft ingredients, 1 yellow ingredient
Favorite food of Electric-type Pokémon

17. Get Swole Syrup à la Cube
2 mushrooms, 3 sweet ingredients

Pokemon Quest General: Complete Guide

July 04, 2018
Apologies for the hiatus - work has been crazy and I've been playing 2 games: Pokemon Quest and Fishercat! I love both games for various reasons but let's talk about Pokemon Quest first.

Pokemon Quest is a new addition to The Pokemon Company's mobile games after Pokemon Go. Well I kind of enjoyed Pokemon Go for 3 days then I got bored of it, but I think Pokemon Quest is more interesting because it gives you an interesting storyline as well as a chance to catch 'em all (150 in the first generation). The major draw is the nostalgic value and that everything is in cubes which is so cute!! 

You can download it from the play store and apple store, or get it on your Nintendo Switch. 


Currently I am only at island 7 - it gets exponentially tougher to level up and complete the higher levels, so I usually change my goal and evolve Pokemon instead. 




Currently I have 46/150 and as a Pokenerd, I have the 3 starting Pokemon as my dream team. I started with Squirtle and got Bulbasaur and Charmander by using the pot. 



The pot is where you can mix ingredients that you have gathered during the expeditions to make soups to attract Pokemon. There are different permutations to make various soups i.e. some soups require more blue ingredients, some with soft ingredients, etc. According to the game, 2 or more of the same ingredient is considered as "a whole lot" of the ingredient. The various soups attract different kinds of Pokemon as well - red soups attract 'reddish' Pokemon, some soups attract electric types, etc. 

So far I have the normal metal pot (that requires 3 of the same ingredient), a bronze pot (that requires 10 of the same ingredient) that is uncovered after level 3, and a silver pot (that requires 15 of the same ingredient) that is uncovered after level 6. The bronze pot can attract up to level 30 Pokemon and the silver pot can attract Pokemon of levels 50+ (personally I don't use the silver pot much unless I want to use those Pokemon to train others for easy levelling up and evolutions).


You can sacrifice some Pokemon to raise the EXP of your chosen Pokemon or to teach some some skills. Pokemon can learn new skills when they evolve - I managed to teach my Gyarados Hyper Beam and it was awesome! Tip: while raising EXP of Pokemon, make it such that it is just before the Pokemon reaches the next level of evolution, so that you can bring the Pokemon for an expedition and have it to level up and evolve quickly (Pokemon cannot level up during training).


Pokemon types matter as well. When a Pokemon is of an advantageous type, it raises the team's score. The team's score does not have to be higher than the level's score to win, but it is a rough gauge of whether you should try your luck at the level.


The type of move does not affect the strength and effectiveness of the move - a normal and water type move have about the same amount of the damage in the game, whether it is versus a type that is weak to water or not.

I like to play the game because I feel that the Pokemon use the skills faster when I'm controlling it, and that I can flee whenever needed (like when Mr Mime draws out some dummy Pokemon which is distracting and allows it to kill my team).


Alternatively you can also use the auto button so that the Pokemon can fight on their own. This is extremely useful for me when at work or going other errands - my Pokemon can still battle when I'm not with them! Only thing is to note that the team's score should be higher or similar to the level's score because it is automated.

I hope this general walkthrough helps! Let me know if you need more information and I will include them in this site!

Virtual Villagers Origins 2: Puzzle 13 + Puzzle 14 Complete Guide

May 27, 2018
The new puzzles for chapter 2 are out! Check out my sneak peek of chapter 2 or the general walkthrough, and let's try to solve the puzzles together! Note: I will be writing another eBook for chapter 2, stay tuned!

Puzzle 13: Residence Hut

After the volcano eruption, it's your job to clear the wreckage and also build new buildings! Cool things like the school, healing hut, and residence hut are now made possible!

Prerequisites
  • Master builders
  • Level 4 research technology
Given that this is the first puzzle in chapter 2, it is definitely a good warm up to the next few puzzles to come! I am still quite annoyed that the eruption destroyed nearly everything we created in chapter 1, but I'm sure that the village will look even more awesome than before!
  1. Drag adult villagers to use water to douse the fires on the buildings. You will need 4 water.
  2. Drag villagers to rebuild huts that were destroyed in the eruption. 
  3. You will see that your population increases (or goes back to normal) after the huts are rebuilt
  4. The puzzle is complete. Collect your lavastones! 

Puzzle 14: Mural

Finally the huge boulder beside the then green statue has some use! We can now make the wall behind it a mural, and it's pretty easy to complete albeit time consuming.

You need:
  • Master builders
  • Master researcher
  • Level 4 research technology
  • Level 5 crafting technology
This is another simple yet time consuming level. In fact, I think most puzzles in chapter 2 are simple and time consuming.


  1. Drag master builders to the rock debris above the previous kraken statue.
  2. Do this 5 times to fill the holes in the big boulder.
  3. Drag a master researcher to draw plans.
  4. Drag a master builder to the big boulder and he/she will make a mural.
  5. Craft paints (red, blue, green) and drag the master builder to the crafting hut paint the mural.
  6. The puzzle is complete. Collect your lavastones!

Virtual Villagers Origins 2: Quick Look at Chapter 2

May 25, 2018
So Chapter 2 of Virtual Villagers Origins 2 is finally out!!! I have just updated the app, so please give me some time to update my crafting and resources page, and also to solve the puzzles!

But for now, a quick peek:

We see 10 new puzzles (this time with a "..." at the spot where the 11th puzzle should be - is it a hint that LDW is going to have a holiday puzzle and then another a third chapter, just like how chapter 2 was created?)

Let's take some time to analyze this completed puzzle by Jing-jing Garcia Siador (thank you so much)! I have to take my time since I need to find out the prerequisites for new players. 

Puzzle 12: Residence hut
Puzzle 13: Mural
Puzzle 14: Scarecrows to get rid of those pests
Puzzle 15: Some kind of pit
Puzzle 16: Goodbye bear (you can see it where the reeds are)
Puzzle 17: Flower garden? (where kraken statue was)
Puzzle 18: Healing Hut
Puzzle 19: School
Puzzle 20: Telescope
Puzzle 21: Reservoir 

The game starts with a volcano eruption. To be honest I am quite disappointed that crumbling the island is how chapter 2 starts.. so you mean everything I did in chapter 1 is lost??? I thought they would move the rock beside the cave to unlock a new world.. (which could be the ending for chapter 2..)


So everything is engulfed in flames.. Good thing is that new things keep popping up after the flames have been extinguished. 

More houses = larger population? 

And of course, more advanced technologies and more crafting recipes. 
Good news is that I have already updated my crafting and resources page - check it out!

Apparently our ladies can now give birth to twins and even triplets! 
Special thanks to Blythe Lim for sharing!

Ok now to actually playing the game!

Stranded Without A Phone Complete Guide

April 13, 2018
Stranded without a phone is a new mobile game by Gilligames, which is a spin off from their other game, Space Horse. You basically play as one of the characters (free or paid), under one of the difficult levels (easy, medium, hard, brutal) and try to survive and get help to get out of the island.

From Gilligames' website:
Four passengers on a space ship were on a mission to colonize a new planet when the ship crash landed on a planet that is almost completely covered by ocean. You are the only survivor - an upper-management executive from the Decoo corporation, the company that sponsored the original mission. Now you must use your survival skills to stay alive long enough to get rescued. Build shelter, find food and drink, and collect salvageable parts from the wreckage that wash ashore. Use the parts to build a space radio and call for a rescue team to win the game.



Some of the items are quite a hassle to make, but the game is pretty self explanatory and easy to maneuver around. I like the achievements in the game as it keeps me on the right track. Also, the island interacts with you by presenting various objects when you wake - it's quite amusing to wake up to canned meat beside you!

The main highlight in the game is finding and crafting resources. Given what an addict I am in Virtual Villagers Origins 2, this game is definitely for me! The end goal is to build a space phone to call for help, but there are other interesting things that can be made as well.

You can get it in the Apple Store or Play Store.

Walkthroughs are coming!
