¶ Introduction
Crops and Chickens is a portal minigame, created by Polysemouse, that will earn the player Marks upon completion. The total number of points required for completion and the reward amount change daily. Marks earned are not affected by Emblem bonuses or equipment, they are the same for all players.
¶ Rules
The point of the game is to obtain as many crops as you can before the time runs out, while avoiding any of the chickens that roam around the game board.
In the center of the board is a rug with a chest atop it. This is considered the home base, and where you must return to after picking up any crops. They will not count toward your point total unless you do this.
The black Ayam Cemani chicken will follow you around wherever you go, though you move faster and can easily outrun it. The white chickens will march forward and not deviate, allowing you to dodge around them. Touching any chicken will cause your Bumpkin to drop all of their crops and return to the rug.
You have until the 2 minute time limit expires to obtain the target score. You will not lose from touching a chicken a certain number of times, only from running out of time. Time running out counts as an attempt, of which you have 5 daily. You can pay FLOWER to get more attempts in a day.
¶ Points Guide
- Sunflower: 1
- Potato: 2
- Pumpkin: 5
- Carrot: 10
- Cabbage: 20
- Beetroot: 50
- Cauliflower: 100
- Parsnip: 250
- Radish: 1,000
- Wheat: 2,500
- Kale: 10,000
¶ Strategy
A good strategy is to ignore all of the other crops below Cauliflower, and focus on picking up as many of those as you can. There are at least twenty of them around the sides of the map, which can get you 2000 points if you can get them all. Start in one corner and pick up all of them left to right, then move down to the second row and pick up those too. Then run back to the rug and deposit them as soon as possible. Remember to run forward instead of backtracking, and follow the arrow back to the rug if you get lost. If you see an opening around the Radish or Parsnip, grab it.
¶ Tips
- All chickens will kill your Bumpkin. Don’t touch any of them.
- Your Bumpkin can run faster than the chickens. You can move ahead and cut them off if needed.
- The map wraps around in all four directions. Don’t move backwards to get to the rug, only move forwards.
- You have 2 minutes per attempt, but unlimited “lives.” You can get hit by a chicken as many times as you need in one attempt.
- Use a keyboard! Play on a PC or use a Bluetooth keyboard for your phone, as it gives you much greater control.
- Keep playing after you reach the goal to practice up for days with high requirements. See how high of a score you can get!
