Neopets New Game Challenge: Darigan Dodgeball

Darigan Dodgeball is the newest flash game at the Neopets website and it is the feature of the New Game Challenge. The object of the game is to keep your Kiko from getting hit with the four spiked balls that bounce around the screen. That's all there is to it. You have to click on the Kiko to start the game and you can not release the mouse button while playing. If you hit the sides, top or bottom of the border the game is over. My high score (so far) is 2,270 so I got the prizes for beating Abigail and AAA. I am not buying a ticket to beat Lulu until there is something super spooky as a prize.

You can submit your Darigan Dodgeball score five times per day while it is part of the New Game Challenge, after that it you can send your score in three times a day but you can play it as often as your like. The New Game Challenge is something that will be a regular feature at the site. It will rotate flash games, when a new one is introduced so you will have at least two or three days (but that isn't a guarantee) to try and beat AAA and Abigail to get your prizes. The prizes this time around are:

Beat Abigail (400 points): "Rocky Ground"
Beat AAA (1,700 points): "Darigan Spike Ball"
Beat Lulu (650 points): "Churning Red Clouds"

Please note, all three of these items are considered "wearable" so you can add them to your Pet lookup or store them in your Inventory. I think the "Rocky Ground" background looks the best of the three prizes for this game.

To play against Lulu you need to buy a game Challenge Ticket from the NC Mall. The New Game NC Challenge Game Ticket - Series 4 costs 200 NC (the cash equivalent of two dollars). If you do not have Neocash you can purchase it via Paypal or by buying a Neocash card.

There are no hacks, cheats or codes for this game. It just takes a little bit of practice to get used to holding down the mouse button, not hitting the walls and avoiding the balls. There is a timer at the bottom of the screen but it's best to not pay attention to it or you will lose your focus on the game. So far Darigan Dodgeball seems like a quick and fun game; it reminds me of Kass Basher because it doesn't take forever to complete and you can make a decent amount of Neopoints from it.

Past New Game Challenges include: Dice of Destiny, Spinacles and Legends of Pinball.
