September Update

[Divelucaya]

The new area that has opened is the park. One chore my son and I got was to feed the squirrels in the park. They are in the wooded area which is back and right (go up into the pond area and then follow the boardwalk to the right). The new game is Micro Medic. You are miniaturized and inside Mr. Herriman and have to shoot germs. At first I thought the game was too boring and very low scoring (I don't think I got 100 points by the end of the 3rd level, germs are only 2 points each, and the top prize is at 2122 points). I eventually played it again and it does get more difficult and faster paced, and I did not yet make it to the high score. New prizes at the arcade are a robot costume and ice skates (290 and 300 tickets respectively). I did not check Mac's toy chest to see what new toys there are. The furniture theme appears to be farm related (I got a pitchfork lamp and sunflower windows). Bloo, Wilt, Ed, etc. are where they were last update, 4th, 5th, and 6th floors.

Update:
The game definitely gets much harder and at higher levels if you lose a man you go back to shooting single shots (collecting "P" pills gives you spray pattern shots and then fireballs mixed in). Don't get frustrated, playing the games several times gives you different random bonuses. One time I played absolutely no bonuses came up shooting the germs on a couple levels. Another time I played there were bonuses galore. Eventually you will hit a game where there will be a lot of extra lives or power pills or bombs. If you get to where there are too many germs coming at you, use a bomb to destroy all the germs so that you can get a couple seconds to compose yourself for the next barrage of germs. Plus it seemed whenever I used a bomb (you get 3) there would be a bomb bonus appear shortly afterwards. And as with several other of the games, if you lose a life and your "new" man appears in the midst of a lot of germs you will be immune to another death for a couple seconds (while your man is blinking). I know When Junk Attacks was like that, which was nice when you got dropped in the middle of a bunch of mechanical spiders. I have played Micro Medic only 3 times and have gotten to almost 2000 points.

I still have not checked Mac's toy chest so I'm sure someone else will post what the new toys are. The adventure with Bloo is to make a create a golf course in the park. Another piece of furniture in the new game is a "silo wardrobe."
