I'm Baaaack!

Well, I'm back again to improve my writing and write more.I'm still going to be blogging about apps, but this time I'll be habitual about my posts. That's really it for my introduction, so let's get to the real material of my post.
I'm running a charity 5K today, and I looked specifically for a running-styled game. That app is 1000 Heroz. In this app, you play as a prehistoric character and your goal is to run to reach the end of the level in a designated amount of time. You can either get a bronze, silver, or gold star for the time, along with a relic relating to the character's story for silver and gold star times. There's everything from trampoline mushrooms, to springs and twigs. There are three different level scenarios: forest, desert, and ice levels. They release a new level every day with a new character and relic, and the app only costs $1 to unlock all the levels, so why not try it out and make a change in history!

Gone With The Wind

I really liked blogging, I truly did, but now it's my time to go. I'm getting too busy to blog but will still write time from time on my Y!CN account. It was a great time, but I'm going to stop.

Yarold

Lately I've been on the prowl for adoptables sites, but I found a very unique and helpful tool for almost any website. This website is called Yarold's, and you just post a link to your favorite adoptable and you get clicks for it. It's as simple as that, and can be extremely helpful in most adoptable situations. And no, I'm not talking about adopting pets or children. I'm talking about adopting something more useful, pixels!
A perfect example of an adoptable website to use on Yarold's is Pixelwoods. I actually found this by clicking links on Yarold's that were from here, and I was interested so I went to check it out. This website is pretty unique, because instead of making a load of different eggs they made variations on the adult forms.

All of these adoptable sites have inspired me to start thinking of my own, but first I need a theme. So if anyone is interested in possibly branching out Zaff Attack and making it a blog and adoptable site leave a comment below. I guess it's time to get drawing!

Downsizing

I figured out there isn't enough good content to review to keep writing 2 a day. So I'm changing my post layout to one review so I can fully review the game, and work on becoming a more elaborate writer. So this new change will help both you and I.
Today's app is Bumping Bears by LoadComplete. This game reminds me of the Tamagotchis I used to have when I was younger.Yesterday I was trying to unscrew the back of my Tamagotchi to put new batteries in because it's just been sitting in the corner of one of my cabinets. To make up for losing that one, I stumbled upon this app the next day.

With this app you have a donut planet and your bear walks around the planet. You can customize your planet with decorations ranging from trees to ducks and pinatas. You can also customize your planet by buying a new design in the shop. You can also change the air around your donut planet by changing its color.

You can do things with your bear like feed it, go to work with it, and play mini-games with it. You can also dress it up and raise it until it becomes an adult. That's all for today.

I'm Sticking With Blogging!

Yesterday I had to make cookies and had school so I ignored blogging but I'm staying with it. Today I tried out an app called Tower Town by Crowdstar Network. Here's my review:

The point of the game is to build a tower and upgrade it with shops, decorations, and residences. Each person who lives in the building needs a specific shop and decoration to make them happy. To upgrade your building you need to complete tasks like moving in a certain amount of people or pleasing a chosen amount of residents. Right now I'm Level 6 and have 4 towers, so if you want to add me as a friend just add "Zafeyry" without the quotations.
A few days ago, I blogged about Swagbucks, and I found another search prize website that may rival Swagbucks. With Bing rewards, you're more focused on searching as that is really the only way you can gain credits. These credits are worth about the same as Swag Bucks. If you use Bing Rewards you get a fixed amount of 1 credit per 2 searches up to 40 searches a day. With Swagbucks, the credits are random and I'm assuming they have a limit to prevent botting, but they haven't released that limit yet.

Swagbucks has the upper hand in variety, while with Bing Rewards you can only search. I personally haven't derived a sure favorite, but having been using Bing Rewards more since it's new. Once I max out by getting 20 credits in Bing Rewards, I just switch my search engine over to Swagbucks to maximize my searching efficiency.

Getting In The Rhythm

Usually I have soccer after school but since it ended coming home right after school has been great. This way I have more time to play games and test them for here, plus I still have time to get my homework done.

Super Rope by Craneball Studios is a really creative and unique app. The goal of the game is to jump from vine to vine (at least in the Green Land level) and collect coins. You can also wander upon rarer items like diamonds, bigger gold coins, and gold bars that reward you in coins. There are also power-ups like rockets that can advance you through the levels. As you get further into the level, you face the risk of hitting green walls. Every time you complete a level, you get a Funky Star which can be used in the Funky Store. For every three coins you get during the game, you receive a Funky Star. You can use them to buy different characters, levels, and power ups.

I got Thin Mints from some girl scouts at Stop & Shop today, so I based my website search on cookies. I found a game on Addicting Games called Cookie Cutter: Twisted!. It's a fun puzzle game where you have to cut a certain amount of cookies using a certain amount of dough. The furthest I got was Level 15 with 29, 409 points. The game really game my brain a work out and I feel tired just because this game is difficult. I'm even spelling words wrong and I think I should go lay down, so that's all for today!

Back For Day 2

Today I'm really energetic and can't wait to post and I might even start trying out some new apps to get a head start for tomorrow!
Today's featured app is Muffin Knight by Angry Mob Games. When I got it 2 days ago it was free in the App Store, but now it's price rose to $1. Even though the price rose, this app is still worth it. After 2 hours of playing I got to Level 17, and unlocked a few of the characters. Every character has a different ability and you have the choice to upgrade these abilities when you level up. The characters use their abilities to defeat the monsters in the many different levels. Whenever you collect a muffin, there will always be one muffin in the level, you change characters randomly and get 30 experience points.Then if you want to change character again, find the next muffin. You also get experience for killing monsters with your characters, which can range from a Unicorn to a Soldier.
I found a great website that rewards you with loads of great prizes just for searching the internet and doing loads of other tasks called Swagbucks. Everything from watching sponsored videos to playing flash games is included on there. In a week, I have made the equivalent of $1.33 just by searching with Swagbucks as my search engine. For the non-greedy searcher, you can donate any amount of Swag Bucks, the currency, to charities such as Feeding America. There are loads of fun prizes, like a 2 foot tall plastic Christmas Tree for 499 Swag Bucks and modeling clay (like Play-Doh) for 279 Swag Bucks. This website is really fun, and I can't wait until I have 100 more Swag Bucks to get the clay. Just for searching for the pictures used in my post, I won 10 Swag Bucks. I will get you, yellow clay! That's it for today, and be sure to click the link in my post so I can win Swag Bucks whenever you win!

I'm Back and Better Than Ever!

I just got finished with soccer, and now I come home straight from school so I'm more able to blog. I might  change my writing style by writing more elaborately on one subject instead of having a few small paragraphs about different subjects. There just isn't enough content I can find to make a large post and finish my homework as well. I'm going to see if I can get back into it and if I can't; at least I tried. Formal returning information, check.
Today I tried a card game on my iPod, a type of game I don't usually bother with. It's called Urban Rivals and it's fun, especially since I'm good at it. I like leveling up the cards and buying new ones and overall it's a fun game. I like how easy it is to grasp and the Pill option makes the game variable and more fun. Out of 10, I would give the game a 7 because it's entertaining and I can waste time playing it, but the graphics aren't the best which I can handle. Since their start they've had about 1,400,000,000 games played. Besides the app, there is also a website located here. Right now I'm Level 7, and if you want to challenge me my username is zafeyry.

That's it for today, I promise I'll write more tomorrow.

I'm Not Coming Back

Blogging everyday was just too much of a hassle for me, so instead I'm switching to Yahoo! Contributor Network where I can still post but I don't have to do it daily. Plus, the community is more open than that of Blogger.

Bye, For Now

I'm not going to be blogging until November, but I will still be playing games on my Zaff Attack Facebook account. That's all for now.

Games of The Week

On Friday, I was too busy to post. Yesterday, I fell asleep while writing my post. It was on my iPod so I didn't fall asleep in an uncomfortable computer chair. And on the weekends I'll be posting my progress on the games, websites, and apps I blogged about during the week. So this week I blogged about 8 different games, so that will be 4 games per day.
I posted about Freerice on Monday, and have been playing it since. So far I have totaled 5,000 grains, and the group I'm in, Zaff Attackers has earned 5,000 grains all by me. Hopefully this group might make it up the ranking and Freerice could be a source of traffic, but for that to happen, I'll just have to keep playing.
An app I blogged about on Monday was Early Bird, and they just added a new world for Halloween! So now I have 72 stars on Breezy Meadow and Dusty Mesa. I have 71 stars on Flurry peak. I have 47 stars on Blue Bayou and Haunted Hill.
Touch to Give is an app that you can't really give that much progress on, but I'll try anyway. This will be short and boring, so stay with me. I've donated 9 times through this app, 3 times to each of the charities. And that's it for this app.
Finally, we have MouseHunt, one of my favorite Facebook games. Right now, after a few days, I'm still a Recruit, but Mousehunt is a time based game and I'll be climbing up the ranks soon. I did get a King's Crown for Grey Mice, since I caught 12. That's it for MouseHunt.

On review of the Games of The Week, this has got to be my worst post, so I'm never going to do this again. I would delete it but I spent a lot of time writing it, and if you want to see my stats go to My Games / Accounts which I will update weekly instead of doing this post. That's it for now, so that concludes my post!

Ready to go!

I didn't make a post yesterday, but today I'm gathering up enough resources to make 10 posts. Thank god for Rosh Hashanah.
Today I found a charity app that is definitely worth mentioning. It's called Touch to Give and all you need to do is tap one of the three charities you want to donate to, The Breast Cancer Site, The Animal Rescue Site, and The Hunger Site. You can donate once to each of these every day, and so far The Breast Cancer Site has had 1, 700,000 Ribbons given. The Animal Rescue Site has had 2,100,000 treats given, and The Hunger Site has had a little under 15,000,000 garden seeds given, making The Hunger Site the most popular donation. The only bad part is that you can only donate once a day but it's still worth looking into.
 Today I didn't find an amazing Facebook game, so I'm using one I've played for upwards of a year and love. I just started playing it on my new account, Zaff Attack, and playing the tutorial in the Meadow was really fun. I love this game but I haven't played in a while. As of now, I'm a Recruit and I've gotten to the Town of Gnawnia. It's great to be back playing this game again.
I have no idea how I came upon this game, but I started playing it and it's really fun. It's called Farmerama and it's one of the better farming games I've experienced. It's different because it isn't through Facebook, and has medium-high graphics. They're not as simple as Farmville but the body of this game is what counts. If you want me to be your neighbor, my name is zafeyry. So far I'm only Level 2, so barely any of the features are unlocked, but the game so far is fun and great and should be tried during some spare time.

Tired

Today I'm tired and was busy. I don't think I'll be sticking to the 8 PM post every day, but it will usually be up before 9 PM. Whenever I'm less busy, probably the weekend, I'll add more cool features to the blog. So hang in there til Friday! Wait, I just remembered I have no school Thursday which means I'll add more stuff then. So one more day of school and then I'm done. Now on to the bloggish part.
On Egg Cave there's a new background called Autumn Skies, which I think would look great with a Pyraguin or Leyma. I just started buying backgrounds for my creatures and I like this feature a lot because you can spice up your creatures profile. There's also the Firestorm Skies background which would look great on a Flue, but those are two different games. I don't really have much else to say about Egg Cave, so let's move on to Miscrits!

I don't really have anything else to say and my head hurts. Today's one of those days where you make the silent progress that will show up in the next post and the next after that. So this is like making sure I have something to blog about for the week.

Back For 2nd Day, And I Have Time To Spare!

Yesterday was a semi-rocky start, but today will go a lot smoother. Today I'll have something on Early Bird, Miscrits, and Freerice. That through, let's get started!
I think the picture above can be enough to sum up Early Bird by Booyah Inc. The purpose of the game is to get the bird to the bullseye, where the worm is, in as few swipes as possible. There are a few different worlds, my favorite being Flurry Peak (the one where you slide on ice and its snow themed). There's also a Bayou world, and every time I play it I hear banjo music. The best part is that the game is free and the only thing you can pay for is an optional upgrade to the Phoenix (aka the Mighty Eagle from Angry Birds). The game's fun and free and will actually keep you coming back
Next up is Miscrits. When I opened the game Miscrian News popped up, and I found out you can get this cute little guy (or girl) from the Battle Arena. It's name is Fennie, and looks like it was based off the Fennec fox, which one of my dogs looks like as well. It's really cute, and I have no idea what the Battle Arena is, but I'm going to go check it out now. Maybe I'll win 20 battles and get a Fennie for myself!
FreeRice is an amazing. I repeat amazing click to donate site. For every quiz question you get right you donate another 10 grains of rice. In 5 minutes I was able to donate 1,000 grains of rice. It might not seem like a lot, but collectively since 2007, 91 billion grains of rice have been donated! The amount of rice being donated each month and year is on the decline, but together we can make a difference. If you read my blog, join the Zaff Attackers. And the website is paid for by the ads, which aren't annoying and placed under the vital stuff you need to play. So join now and together we can change the world.

And for everybody on Facebook, be sure to like my own page Zaff Attack. I'll be adding way more stuff soon and updating from there so be sure to check it out.

2nd Test

I'm coming back this time because I think I'll be able to start blogging once again. Tomorrow and the rest of the week we'll see if I can hold true to that. Today I'm adding sections of things I've never done before and I'm determined to make a better post. So let's go!

Baking. I found a little recipe that I thought might be interesting so I tried baking it. This is the link to the site with the recipe, and no, I'm not getting married. In the picture, the strawberry chips on the cupcake look amazing. So anyway, the recipe says to leave them in the oven for 2 hours, so at 50 minutes I checked on them and they looked undercooked, and then 5 minutes later they were past done. My oven is horrible and does this all the time, so it may have ruined the chips. I was going to include them as a topping on pancakes, but I can't get them onto the wire rack without them falling apart. So instead of using the wire rack, I just moved them to another spot on the parchment. Mine are extremely sweet and still juicy as they were only backed for an hour. I can't wait to have them on my pancakes or for a quick sweet snack!

I love Facebook Games so I'm going to make a special account just for this blog. I'll play all the Facebook games I talk on here on that account. One that I just stared playing is 'Miscrits: World of Adventure'. I played Monster Galaxy before and was looking for a game like it, so I looked up Miscrits Wiki. From there, I saw all the amazing art and started playing it soon after. My starting Miscrit is Flue, and so far I've captured Cubsprout, Sparkupine, and Hydroseal. Those are all from just my first day of playing!
A quick update on Dragon Adopters. As of now I'm 85% of the way towards a new dragon, and clicks on Aquinta will help. Five more levels until I get a new Furdragon. For my in-game goals and achievements I'll be adding a page soon. And I need to do something with the current colors and layout. In no time this will look like my blog again. I have much more that I'll blog about and I think I'll stick to three main topics per day; today's; Baking, Miscrits, DA, that way I won't run out of exciting blog ideas and you won't get bored reading. All my posts are set to be released at 8:00 PM (EST) so you can read after a long day or read yesterday's post before your long day. Either way, I hope you'll enjoy my new blog, and for that, goodnight!

Too Busy

I'm too busy to start Zaff Attack now, so this was a crash and burn type of test, but I'll be back sometime in November when my schedule clears up. A lot.

Test Drive Of My New Blog

This week is going to be the test drive of Zaff Attack. As of now, I have 100% no idea what the blog even looks like, and I'm too lazy to go look. So basically the blog will be less rocky than Zaffy's World, my previous blog, because I have a handle on what I'm doing. So let's get started!

Dragon Adopters is one of my favorite adoptables websites, mostly because there are more levels than adoptables, and because there's nothing really money related. My dragon Fuegero just hit Level 40 so I've sort of become obsessed with racing. I'm in the middle of a race right now, and I'm doing pretty well. I like the racing feature, but don't have any Dragon Coins to buy pumpkins. Well I'm starting to get tired and don't have anything else to say about DA, so let's move on.

My other favorite adoptable websites is Egg Cave, and just started playing again yesterday I tragically lost my one egg that was Level 2 and past common, but whatcha gonna do? My first creature I found yesterday was an Aerlo, which became endangered later that day. On Friday a new species, the Marlay, was released and in my opinion it looks amazing! I haven't been lucky enough to get one from the cave yet, but when I do it will probably be my favorite. And the best part is that it's free! I'm still getting used to Egg Cave, and I'm currently studying the Archives, so tomorrow I'll be a little more educated.

I might also put links and reviews of random websites, apps, and possibly a few short stories on here. I'll do different things every day, so this blog will be spicier than Zaffy's World. That's it for now!
