Cataclysm Event

Remember these weird octopus-like bowls of bubbly, smoky pink stuff from the past couple of weeks?

Looks like the culprit behind it is… not Cinderella, but Cindeline!

She’s turned the Oasis into her headquarters, maybe because nobody goes there anyway. Poor Raj, nobody likes his Trading Card game. Oops didn’t realize that the Oasis just moved to the side, haha, I guess Raj is safe!

Click on the glowing opening, and there will be game instructions. Ooh, you can win medals!

There are 3 stages only, even though there are 5 different color shards, so it’s a lot easier than you think!

The shards look like this, they cover up 1 square only

When you start, you can only see 2 squares in every direction.

Find the torch in each level to make your circle of vision larger, to 3 squares in every direction

Find the treasure chest, and you will get a star bonus. You don’t need to find a “key” or anything.

Find the treasure map, and you will be able to see the entire stage! Once you move though, everything will turn black again. So either memorize where everything is, or take a screenshot!

I thought at first that there would only be 3 stages, but there are lots more… In fact, I think each is randomly created. So I won’t be able to show you what each level looks like 😦

Watch out for the guards. You lose only if their red beams touch you, and they aren’t that smart! And if there’s a wall in between, they won’t be able to catch you.

As long as you keep your eye on the outside rim of your circle, you won’t run into them.

This game is a bit like chess, because you all move 1 square at a time. If you don’t move, the guards won’t move either! If you take one step, they will take one step too, in a random direction. This isn’t timed either. You get fewer stars if you take more steps, but we’re here for levels, not stars, right?

Other than that, I can’t think of any more tips. There isn’t really that much strategy, it’s more like blind luck, literally.

If you don’t pass all 3 stages, you get stars. But if you pass them all, you will earn 1 level toward the Hero Medal! The maximum, for mems and nons, is 10.

Reflection 

I like how they decided to change things up for this event, it’s not the usual expensive Limited Item Cart, boring mini games, and movie. There’s actually a storyline!

I also appreciate it that they not only gave nonmembers a chance to gain 10 levels, but that the maximum level for that medal is the same for nons and mems!

It also looks like this isn’t even the entire event yet, there’s more to come! So…
