Yesterday Ganz released a new game in the Webkinz Arcade – it’s called Jumbleberry Blast.
Jumbleberry Blast is currently only available to Deluxe members, but remember, non-deluxe members will be able to play Jumbleberry Blast if it’s the “Game of the Day.”
Jumble Berry Blast is essentially a color matching game. You build chains of matching berries (the same berries that appear in Jumbleberry Fields.) Chains can be built horizontally, vertically and diagonally, which enables you to build very long chains (more on that later).
Here are the instructions for the game:
Each level presents you with a new goal or challenge. For instance, in the first five levels, the goal is to reach a certain amount of points within a certain amount of moves. For example, on level 1, your goal is to reach 100 points in 7 moves.
If you meet the goal with any moves left over, you get ten bonus points for each unused move:
Once you reach level 4, you unlock the ability to create “shining” berries by building chains of 7 or more berries.
When shining berries are matched up, they clear either a row or a column. The direction of the shine indicates whether the match will clear vertically or horizontally. Here’s an example:
Levels 1 through 5 are the most straightforward. When you get to level 6, “rot” is introduced. The rot looks like small green squares, as you can see in the picture below. In order to remove the pieces of rot, you must clear the berries on top of the rot:
Levels 11 and 12 go back to the same goal as levels 1 through 5, but this time a bright blue berry is introduced. Adding the extra color makes it more difficult to build long chains.
Once you hit level 13, it’s time to start collecting jam jars. A jam jar is “collected” when all the berries beneath it are cleared, and the jar falls to the bottom of the column.
The jam jar levels are about as far as I’ve made it in Jumbleberry Blast so far. Once you’re past the jam jars, the following level (maybe more?) returns to removing rot.
I don’t know what happens after that – from the pictures of the game, it looks like something involving a bug is going to happen in some of the higher levels.
