Snowflakes Sweep Tips - Pixie Hollow

Buttercup PollenPuff · #1 02-11-2009, 05:28 AM

I'm not sure if this thread needs to be here or in the Spoiled area so beware there is infor about the Snowflakes Sweep and some tips. I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Let me first say this game was really hard for me so I gave up after level 7. My fiance being the competetive type had me log out and got on with his water fairy (Crystal Bubblestream.) I'm proud to say that Miss Bubblestream made it to the end of the game.

The game is 30 levels long. With each level either you must get more snowflakes (5, 7, 10, etc.) or tyou must get more types (purple, green, blue, silver, pink) or the wind picks up, or there are more icicles melting in your way.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you accidentally drop a wrong snowflake in (pink in the purple bag) it will not only not count but add to the number you need or, in the case that you have a thread with multiple flakes, not count them.

After a few levels an hourglass drops which gives you 30 seconds more. Sometimes two will drop at one time. A blinking snowflake of a certain color = three snowflakes. So if you get a pink flashing one you get three. If you get the special snowflake that flashes sort of blueish purpleish pinkish it can go in any bag. Eventually a pretty bubble will drop with a pink snowflake in it. If you click that one all snowflakes on the page will turn into the special anyflakes.

Towards the end of the levels you will have one bag right in front of another bag, you should fill that one first because if a different type of snowflake hits it, it will knock out the snowflakes you have collected.

That's all for now.

Buttercup, thanks for the tips! I think I made it to level 26 or 27 with a bit more that 32,000 points. I ran out of time. Wow-wee! Is this game time consuming or what? It reminds me of Petal Pick-up that way.

How many total points was your fiance' able to get?

Congratulations on getting so far.

He got 111,096.

I put up the pictures in my gallery. I think a Mod has to approve them before you can see them.

Good to know how many levels!

I was stubborn and got to level 30, but my keyboard stuck-my end not the game-and had to quit. (Wish I had known it was the last, and sadistic, level.) When there are hourglasses, it helps a lot! You can get over 200 snowflakes as a reward, so sticking it out to get the 1000 for the badge can be useful.

Thanks for the tips!

thanks for the tips! i've actually been able to complete it more than once now. it takes a *long* time - maybe a half hour - but it's worth the ingredients if you're trying to buy stuff.

the "purple" flakes can sometimes be confused for white or pink if you're trying to go too fast - i do that a lot.
keep the name of the game in mind. if something is in your way, like a color that you're not collecting, you can "sweep" it out of the way and focus on the rest.
you can sweep stuff in any direction, including up - that helps sometimes.
if you're not short on time and there's an hourglass on the screen, always get that first - especially if you're on your last bag and only need 1 more flake to finish the level.
when using the bubble to change everything, get as many "anyflakes" as you can and stuff them in the nearest bag.

hope this helps!

So, will there be a way to tell when it's open to the general public? I was just thinking that maybe the snowflake may be a little different on the sign so that we non members will know it's open to us. Just wondering I didn't know if they did something like that with any of the other games when they were new.

Lila Mossgarden · #9 02-20-2009, 08:13 PM

They said it would be available 'a few weeks later'. Sorta like soon, I think!

I, too, agree that I do not like the games with 40+ levels. I don't like paying a game for over an hour...

It is open now!! Yay!

For Snowflake Star, you have to play 5 times, and for Super Snowflake Star, you have to play 25 times, and for Flitterific Snowflake Star, you have to play 100 times.

I wondered, What counts as a "time"? Do you have to get to a certain level, or a certain number of points?

I tried different things today, and I narrowed it down. You have to get over 300 points (not an exact number, but close). It doesn't matter if you get that in one level or five levels. Also, over 300 points is what you need to get an ingredient prize.

I hope this helps fairies get their Snowflake Star badges faster.

Yeah, you just have to do a certain minimum on each game. I chose three to four levels so I could get a few Ivy and pine needles. Each game had a different amount to have it count, I think firefly was 1200 points for instance.

I just wish they would fix the timer! It is in the way, so you accidentally get flakes you don't want or can't tell the color or can't see the ones you need! Plus I agree with said earlier that if you go to fast certain colors blend and you get the wrong ones in your bag as a result. Rant number 3 is that sometimes you only need one color such as level 3 pink and it takes 30 seconds before you see the first one! How can you finish if they don't give you the ones you need! Okay, off my soapbox.

That being said, I hate the last masochistic level, but have completed it a few times. Good if you need snowflakes! And one of the few games that is decent on the rarer items won as well!
