Zombies Ate My Motherland Walkthrough
A solid home defense game, even though there is almost no challenge imo. Why? Because you can earn the stars easily and within 7-10 runs, you should almost gotten all the upgrades already. Please note that all the third weapon aka grenades are capped to only hold 10 bombs. Let's say you have 8 left... When a box drops 3-in-a-one bomb, it does not pick it up. Instead, when you get lower than 8, it will then be picked up. To capitalize your star count, spend your grenades wisely then replenish.

Pro-tip: Spend all your grenades and collect the stars before entering the house, during the "THE HORDE IS COMING" phase. You should notice yourself able to slaughter zombies without any difficulty. Just be careful and not to overextend. Going back home alive will grant you another 25% stars! :)

Developer: Lucas Paakh
Genre: Adventure

The Everloom Guide
Solution to The Everloom
1. String - The first thing you'll need is to find String. You can get it from Fatts McGruf located in the area left of the Weaver by the Sphinx.

2. Scythe - Next, get the scythe from Toadpad in the village area above the Weaver.

3. Tethers - Now you'll need to take a bit of a journey to get tethers from Draco. He is located at the airship area right of the Weaver where Izabel is and go all the way down. There's another exit to the left of the waterfall. That room will be a short little jaunt around and that'll take you into the airship area. You need to go all the way to the end of it to find Draco, who will tie your string into tethers.

4. Ballons - By now, you will have your strings tied into tethers. You can now harvest the little bobbing water cactus and tun them into ballons. You need 13 of them which you will give to Izabel. (If you already wiped out the water cactus population - don't worry, they spawn like rabbits.)

5. Izabel Hair - Izabel will drop a strand of hair and you bring that to Cadmus, who is in the area above the Weaver.

6. Confidence - Cadmus will give you confidence, which you can now use to get past the Sphinx.

7. Fire Gate Key - Search for the Bad Cultist above the sphinx hiding behind the trees who will give you a key to the fire gates down south of the Weaver.

8. Solving Fire Gate Maze - Follow the numbers in the picture below and those marked with X must be avoided. Some things need to be done twice.

9. Egg - After completing the maze, proceed left and go to the very bottom until you find the meditating sage. The Sage will give you an Egg after getting all philosophical for a bit.

10. Revealing Eye - You want to go back to the area above the weaver. Go back to the fire gate maze and enter the last teleporter to be taken back to the beginning of the maze, from there just head up. Now go back to the area above the Weaver until you reach the tall building then go left and then up where the Cultist are doing the rituals. Talk to Lazarus and he'll take the egg and and in return he will let you use his Revealing Eye. To get to the eye, go to the right of the Weaver then go all the way down and to the left. It's standing on the cliff there.

11. Ring Hunt - Now you can use the eye to find the ring. It's in 4 pieces to make a complete set. The first fragment is just right below the revealing eye. The second is located in a puddle in the pathway to the airship area. The third is on the pathway below the cultists in the area above the Weaver. The fourth and final fragment is on the scenic overlook above the Sphinx.

12. Cash - Upon getting the last fragment the ring will be restored. You can now give it to Rich Uptight von Wealthson located left of the Weaver. The guy right below the Sphynx. You will receive Cash from him.

13. Ice Cream - Buy ice cream from the ice cream truck parked on a cliff near the airship.

14. Stone - Bring the ice cream to Martha by Toadpad in the area above the Weaver. You will get a rock.

15. Switch - Head towards the Sphinx and find the switch. The switch to open the lighting barrier above the Sphinx and to the right.

16. Blue Fire Puzzle - Get past the lighting gate... After a few more cinematics, you'll have to solve a puzzle with blue fire. The easy way to solve it is to simply touch each rune once in a circle. If you've already triggered some, don't worry, just keep hitting them.

Upgradaroids Walkthrough
Upgradaroids is a good and a fun little flash game, however I find the control a little awkward. The best way to overcome the control is not to move around a lot. Generally I'll shoot at a direction and your bullets will clear a path for you, then move forward to gather all the coins. Don't worry if you fail to collect all the coins. The truth is coins don't disappear and you'll collect them automatically when the level ends. Basically, destroying as many asteroids and surviving the level is all you need to do. ^^

Take note of the red alien ship too. They love to come fires directly at you, so shoot them down quickly. They always drop a shield or rapid fire after being destroyed. Pick them up and use them wisely especially the shield! Pro-Tip: Use up your shield first before picking another shield, since it refreshes every time.

Deadly Road Trip Walkthrough
Deadly Road Trip is a fairly challenging flash game, but progressively gets easier as you upgrade your character. The number one rule is to dodge the land mines as much as possible. It normally comes in four or five and can deal quite a ton of damage to your vehicle. I suggest getting Neutralizes Land Mine expansion as soon as possible if it troubles you. Otherwise, the game is pretty straightforward; dodge bullets, pickup fuel & bonuses, and with a little perseverance you'll win the game! :D

Battalion Commander 2 Walkthrough
Battalion Commander 2 is pretty much similar if compared to the very first game, Battalion Commander. My strategy and guide are almost the same except there are slight changes. This time round, I will equip myself with Jackhammer and Napalm Wave for the most part. Jackhammer is an upgraded version of a shotgun that shoots 3 bursts of bullets in a spread effect. Super effective in killing when the map is wide and do tons of damage! Napalm Wave destroys anything in a straight path which is good at clearing clustering and perfect for its fairly short cooldown time.

The recommended build worked well for me, I completed the game after upgrading War Supplies. I'd only unlock those upgrades, I feel is necessary... Like Jackhammer, Advance Sniper Rifle and Weapon Training. These are very overpowered upgrades; Definitely must get as soon as you can! While Minigun, AirSupport and Rocket Launcher are kinda useless imho. They don't feel right for me.

For the final boss, it can be divided into three parts/stage. The first stage should be easy, basically activate napalm and start running around with a full squad. Second stage is the flamethrower and missiles part. The simplest way to counter is to pick fireproof spray perk. Just laugh when it dealt no damage to you and your squad. >:D In the third stage, since the bullets are in a patter just dodging them by moving back and forth. Your allies will most likely die but don't stop here! Keep dodging and launch napalm whenever possible. Tada, you win!

Idle Mine Walkthrough
There is no wrong/right way to upgrade in Idle Mine. In my opinion, I would prefer to craft a stronger pickaxe, therefore Upgrade Blacksmith than to slowly stack the Manual Click Power. Mainly because the power from the pickaxe is a leading factor for your overall damage output, while Manual Click Power is a percentage multiplied onto the power. The best way for me is to level up Upgrade Blacksmith first, until you are almost in the same price range as Manual Click Power. Then upgrade both Manual Click Power and Upgrade Blacksmith 7-10 times each. Here's the moment of truth... Try your luck by crafting a new pickaxe! Most of the time you will success with your first try however, craft several times to get the highest quality ones. Continue follow the recommended build above and unlock those upgrades you can afford. Finally, repeat the entire process again!

Gem waster is an extremely useful upgrade later on when you're mining high level hellstone, at least in my experience. Don't worry about wasting gems... The simple way to farm for a decent amount is by attacking the strongest mine that you can one hit auto with, and still earn a fair amount of money. Poo is just the first one you can do this at and not the best. A good way to figure out the most efficient ore to manually click is to find the one with the highest auto g/s. The g/s is more of a representation of earnings than an actual cash producer. It just calculates how long it takes to fully mine an ore, and divides the reward by the amount of seconds it take to mine that ore by idling alone. That's how it comes to that value. This should output a highest average amount of damage and earn you the most amount of gold in any second.

Pro-Tip: Hit alt-shift-num lock and activate the ease keys. Then press and hold '5' & '+' on the num pad. Every time you hit '5' it counts as one click, every time you hit the '+' it counts as two clicks... You'll save yourself from carpal tunnel syndrome and your mouse won't go bad. :D
