200M Peanut Dash

Is'nt this little guy cute? Well the little dog is but the big guy... well if you like elefants i guess he would be cute too.

Ok so onto this game and its ins and outs. In this game you have to first shoot a peanut (now i always thought elefants liked peanuts so why hes throwing one away i can't figure out) out of the elefants trunk and doen the field then your little dog will run after it and try to catch it, while running down the field which is marked off with meter marks you will have to have your little god jump over logs that will be lieing in his way, these logs if you don't jump them don't slow you down but you will also not get the bonus points for jumping over them.

Before i get to jumping let me talk about shooting that peanut. they dont say in the instructions but they make it sound like you have to hit the right and left arrow keys in an alternating pattern first one then the other in a rapid motion to increase your power to shoot, this is NOT true you can tap both keys together in a nice even fairly rapid motion not super fast but nice and easy till it hits the red, once it is almost half way thro the red section then start hitting the keys fast as fast as you can and with your other hand wait till the red is all the way to the end before tapping the up arrow to shoot the peanut. In this fashion you should be able to easily make at least a 190 meter dash i have been able to actualy make a few 210 meter dashes in this fashionand your points are based on how many meters you dash for 190meters = 190 points.

Now as for jumping they tell you on the game what combination of keys to hit to be able to make the different jumps I will also tell you here thos combinations but I'm also going to give you a little tip to makeing those jumps flawlessly each time.

it seems that when you are running along the grond certain key combinations will hold in the memory of the game so that when it comes time all you have to do is hit one key and you make a jum rather than hitting two or three or more keys to make that same jump. Below are the differnt combinations of keys to make the jumps.

Up Arrow + Right Arroe = Straight Forward Jump
Right Arrow + Up Arrow + Left Arrow = Single Back Flip Jump
Left Arrow + Up Arrow + Right Arrow = Single Fornt Flip Jump
Right Arrow + Left Arrow + Right Arrow + Left Arrow + Up Arrow = Double Back Flip Jump
Left Arrow + Right Arrow + Left Arrow + Right Arrow + Up Arrow = Double Front Flip Jump

Now for the ones that have flips in them if once your dog is on the ground you hit all the keys one ofter the other up to but NOT including the up arrow key you will be primed for a jump now all you have to do is wait till a log shows up and hit the UP arrow key and up you go in a nice little flip over the log. Now as for the straight forward jump, i have found that the up arrow key will not hold in memory for what ever reason when it is used first BUT if you tap the right arrow key then the up arrow key you are now primed to make a straight forward jump all you need do is wait for the log and tap the right arrow again and there you go over that log in a nice litle arcing jump.

Now for the bonuses i talked about some where up there. you get 10 bonus points for every log you jump over, running into a log doesn't deduct points from you, you just dont get any for it. Now catching the peanut is another thing if you just catch it while running on the ground you get zip nothing nada zilch, but if you do a straight forward jump you get 10 bonus points, do a single flip jump and you get 30 bonus points, do a double flip jump and you get 50 bonus points... see how easily the points can acumulate?

avarage run 190m + 50 (5 logs) + 30 (single flip) = 270 points

Now that above example is an avarage run most of you will be able to do alot better than an avarage runand should be able to make about 300 points a run.

Forward Jump = 10
Single Flip = 30
Double Flip = 50
