Flight Rising: Enduring Goblin

Flight Rising is a browser-based game where players control a Lair full of dragons. There are several different things you can do with your dragons, including dressing them up and giving them Familiars (which are sort of like a pet for your dragon).

The Enduring Goblin was the holiday Familiar for the 2016 Riot of Rot, which took place starting on October 23, 2016, through October 29, 2016. The Riot of Rot celebrates the Plague Flight.

Kitchen Scramble App: Pittsburger (Part 2)

Kitchen Scramble is a time-management app game where you make food and serve it to customers. It was originally created by Playdom, and has since been purchased by RockYou (who made it into an app).

Pittsburger is the first town in Kitchen Scramble. It starts with a tutorial that teaches you how to play the game. By the time you get to the second half of Pittsburger, the tutorial is mostly finished.

Candy Crush Saga: Dreamworld – Funky Factory

In order to unlock Dreamworld, a player must complete Episode 4 – Chocolate Mountains in Candy Crush Saga. It seems to me that Dreamworld is some sort of expansion.

Players do not have to play through the Dreamworld content in order to progress through Candy Crush Saga. That’s a good thing – because the Dreamworld section of Candy Crush Saga silently disappeared shortly before I put together this blog post.

Gardens of Time: Chapter One

Gardens of Time was originally created by Playdom. RockYou purchased it and made it into an app. I’ve been playing it on my iPad. The app is a bit crashy, but the content of the game is mostly the same as it was before.

Chapter One of Gardens of Time starts with a tutorial that walks players through part of Chapter One. The tutorial is mostly over by the time players hit Level 2. Here is what the rest of Chapter One was like.

Hearthstone: Fight Promoter Card

On May 20, 2017, Hearthstone offered a free card to everyone who logged into the game. All players had to do was log in. There was no catch. Players didn’t have to do anything at all – other than log in on the right day. If you have found this blog after that date – you are too late to get the free Fight Promoter Card.

I find it somewhat amusing that some commenters on the Hearthstone post about the free card felt the need to create a conspiracy theory about it. In short, some believe that this free card was a test to see if giving away free stuff was enough of an incentive to make players log into Hearthstone. As conspiracy theories go… this one seems harmless.

Pokémon GO: Adventure Week

Pokémon GO announced Adventure Week – a celebration that started on May 18, 2017, and will end on May 25, 2017. The big thing about this event is that players will see more Rock Pokémon than usual. The announcement specifically named Omanyte, Kabuto, (and their evolutions) and Aerodactyl.

Players could obtain a free Expedition Hat from the wardrobe while Adventure Week was taking place. In addition, Buddy Pokémon will find Candy four times as fast, and PokéStops will provide more items.

Neko Atsume: Chairman Meow

Chairman Meow is one of the “Rare Cats” in Neko Atsume. The only way to get a “Rare Cat” to visit your yard/home in Neko Atsume is to place an item that a specific cat likes. After that, all you can do is wait and keep filling up the food dishes. In general, you have to wait a while between when you place a desirable item and when the cat you were hoping to attract appears.

Kitchen Scramble App: Pittsburger (Part 1)

Kitchen Scramble is a game that was originally created by Playdom. Long story short, Playdom decided on April 20, 2014, to make Kitchen Scramble unavailable on their website. I hadn’t gotten too far through the game, so this was disappointing.

Candy Crush Saga: Candy Clouds

Episode 20 of Candy Crush Saga is called Candy Clouds.It features a Giant who has fallen from his castle in the Candy Clouds. He hit the ground and was knocked out.

The little girl, Tiffi, asks the Giant what happened. He needs her help to get back to his castle. The only part of the Giant that we can see is his feet and part of his legs. This works for the story line, but seems odd later on when the disembodied feet and legs are added to the game board.
