Advert Attack is a game that is designed from the aggravation everyone gets when pop-ups get in your way. You will play as Ace Zafara, whom is racing with a computer controlled race robot. Sloth and the Marketing Department of Virtupets Studios have a different idea though. It is your job to win the space race game while tolerating all of the pop-ups Sloth throws your way. Finish just 10 levels and you win!
In order to make your spaceship go, you must press the 'GO!' button as fast as possible. It will move every time you click it, and in each level you must press the go button 24 times. For each level you beat you get 50 points as well as a time bonus for each second that you had left.
The most important factor of Advert Attack is speed. You need to make sure that you get across the finish line as fast as possible. As the game progresses, sometimes grabbing a pop-up and closing it is not always the best option. You need to try to keep clicking the 'GO!' button. In order to get a high score you should remember the golden rule of Advert Attack. That is to always ignore pop-ups that aren't in your way. Moving pop-ups that aren't in your way is just a waste of time.
Even though some pop-ups should be left alone, eventually you will have to mess with them. In earlier levels, you should just try to keep pop-ups closed as much as possible. The early pop-ups are the smallest and are relatively easy to close. When pop-ups start getting bigger, and harder to close, sometimes the best option is to move it out of your way. To do this, you should grab the uppermost section and drag it to the desired place. Some pop-ups require an extra click to drop though, so you should be careful. Once you know which pop-ups are which, you will be able to judge for yourself whether you would prefer to move it or not. You need to remember though that the goal when playing Advert Attack is speed. Always choose the faster route.
Changing your game window is always an option, although I would suggest that you don't. There have been many arguments over what size game window you should use, so it is best that you just know about changing your window.. Some will tell you to make your window small, and some will tell you to make it big, but both have pros and cons. If you make your game window small, you have to move your cursor less between 'GO!' button presses, but it will also raise the difficulty of closing and moving pop-ups. However, making your game window bigger makes it much easier to close pop-ups, but you have to move your cursor around your screen much more. Whichever you decide depends on your preferences. If you change the size of the game through neopets but you still want it smaller or bigger, you can always zoom in or out by pressing either Ctrl and + or Ctrl and -, respectively. I would suggest just leaving the size alone..
A great way to help you click faster is to count aloud as you click. As I previously mentioned, there is 24 'GO!' buttons in each level. When you do this, you don't have to estimate at how far you are in the level, because you always know how close to 24 you are.
This is one of the first pop-ups. The only way to close it is to press the "X'.
This is one of the easiest to close. You can either press the 'X' or press 'OK'..
This big pop-up is closed by pressing either 'NO' or 'X'.
Press either 'X' or 'NO' to close this pop-up..
Neopets Veterans should remember this page. Unfortunately this big pop-up can only be closed by pressing 'X'..
The Money Tree can be closed with the 'X' button.
The classic picture of the kacheek and grarrl. This is one of the bigger pop-ups, which is only closed with the 'X' button.
This pop-up is extremely aggravating. If you click on it you will make another pop-up appear. Close it by clicking 'Close this Window'.
This is a bigger version of the Mystery Island Training pop-up mentioned above..
The kyrii pop-up is one of the later pop-ups that everyone hates. It is big, and the only way to close it is the 'X' button.
If you type nopopups during gameplay, it will remove all of the current pop-ups from the screen. I would highly suggest waiting to use this until the higher levels, because it can only be used once.
Advert Attack can be a very fun game. Remember to ignore pop-ups that aren't in your way, and move those that aren't. Move quickly, and practice every day. Practice makes perfect, and with Advert Attack you can never practice enough. Make sure to use all of the tips given to you here, and you will have the avatar in no time!
