LEGO Island 2 Fishing and Snake-Shooting

[aidenpons]

These are some tips on two mini-games (with accompanying screenshots):

 

Snake Game

---

 

First off, the Snake-Shooting game on Adventurer's Island, where you are controlling a coconut gun. Don't ask me how the physics work. This is Lego. It does not have to obey the laws of physics.

Panning and repeatedly tapping the spacebar works really well. You need to spaz out dat spacebar with one hand and pan from one side of the channel to the other. Nearly all snakes will get zapped by this. Occasionally one will succeed in getting through, but that's when you blast it manually.

Sadly, shooting the Brickster-Bots does nothing. No points. Better to attack the snakes and hold your ground.

Doing this generally results in a very very high score and a gold medal.

(Note: The maximum score that actually shows in-game is probably around 13,000 but the max score at the end of the game is only 10,000. That seems to be a cap since it also occurs in other games: Whack-A-Bot, the snake whacking game (with the jems) and a couple of other ones.

 

 

Fish Game

---

 

This is, of course, the long and generally droning fish game by the oasis.

 

 

This is a really nice spot to go fishing. The small fish come really close to shore, where Big Bertha doesn't come. Also, Big Bertha also comes close to shore - but in a different place.

 

Because of the closeness, it takes no time at all (compared to the usual) to haul in Big Bertha.

 

And some tips on this minigame as a whole:

You can rotate where you aim for with left & right arrow keys.

If you're not happy with your cast you can always haul it back in and get your bait back.

Because you can only haul in and not go further out, make sure you always overcast.

Since there in no timer whatsoever, make sure you know where all the fish go so that you won't prematurely end your game by accidentally catching Big Bertha. You can, of course, just let her take the bait and not reel her in. The good thing is that Pepper will automatically reel in the line in case there is no bait on the line.

The quicker the Tension-o-meter goes down, the fewer points it is. This is the only time where real physics trumps over game mechanics in LI2.

 

Since you can wander round lax in this area, it is a very happy spot for glitches. Here are some tastes of what you can accomplish:

There's lots more to see! Things like racing and flying!
