Tinkatolli New Room & More!

Click Here for a chance to become a TinkaTester!

Hey tinkas! Recently there was a new room release on Canopia by using a boat you build up and putting it in the water to float down the waterfall. :P And now, there is ANOTHER new room called 'Blueberry Hill'. But this time, this room isn't just any room, it is the main room, where we appear at when we first log into Tinkatolli too!


On Blueberry Hill, there isn't much to it other than a beautiful view in the background and surrounding it are the 5 other locations you can get to through the map, minus Kelp Key, which is not on the map.


With the new room, Blueberry Hill, a newer version of the map is updated with 'Blueberry Hill' shown on it too. And Canopia isn't in the middle alone anymore, but right below Blueberry Hill. :P


Now there is a brand new furniture craft in Tinkertown called a 'CocoChair' by Coconut! For congratulations Coconut and awesome chair! :D



Hehehe, I wanted to create the chair but I need to save my TinkaPoints for the Robot and CreatorCopter at Junkatolli. xD That is pretty much all and I really like the new room and its scenery alot! :D What do you tinkers think ehh?? :P

How To: Play Mini-Games

Hey tinkas!

So one of the main thing that comes up in every single player minds are about the mini-games they can enjoy and have fun with. How many mini-games are available? What do we earn from the mini-games? Where are the mini-games??

On Tinkatolli, currently there is a total of EIGHT mini-games all over the world. You earn seeds when you play games, instead of a type of currency like coins. Some more more difficult than the others, but they are all really fun and creative! ^.^ So let's go ahead and check out the mini-games that you can enjoy. :P




Algerama

The first mini-game you would find on Tinkatolli is called Algerama. It is located in Canopia, which is the starting point for everyone, when you first log into Tinkatolli.


In this game, the goal is to find 3 or more algae of the same color in a group. Once you find a group of the same algae color, all you need to do is simply click on the group.


There is also a bonus to this game, if you were to get a ROW of 15 algae of the same color, you get a golden algae that can remove a large amount of the other algaes surrounding it!


BlockR

The next game can be found in Junkatolli and it is called BlockR.


In this game, all you need to so is simply line up the blocks one after another. To release the block, you simply left click your mouse or touchpad. Your goal in here is to build up a tower as tall as you can and obviously, the taller it gets, the more seeds you get! xP


Another thing is that you have 3 lives in the game, so you only have 3 chances to drop a block before game is over or the tower falls over. Also, if you look carefully in the picture, if one block is lined up exactly with the one before it, you get +40 points and if it isn't lined up exactly, you just get +20 points!


3Up!

A second game can be found in Junkatolli called 3Up!


However, watch out for the large slider on top that is pushing the junks towards you! If you haven't finish and the slider pushes junks that touches the ground, then it is game over for you!


In 3Up! your goal is to remove all the junks to get to the next level. To remove the junks, you need to be shooting them into groups of 3 or more.


Add10

Another game you might enjoy is called Add10 that is found at Tinkertown. The main skill you need in this game is aiming and very simply addition.


All you need to do is simply match and pair up pebbles to equal to 10. So an example for this, which is easier than explaining, is that you have a '4' pebble, then you need to find a pebble with the number '6', in the long line of moving pebbles, and shoot at it.

Also, if say, in the long line of pebbles, there is a group of pebbles with the same number like '6, 6, 6' and if you have a '4' pebble and shoot at the group, then the whole group would be removed.


A unique thing about this game though, is that instead of seeds, you would earn 'Thinker' points into your stats for the 'Thinker' section of Tinkatolli activity.


Memory

Another game you can enjoy is called Memory that is found at Tinkertown. If you have a great memory, then this game is great for you to challenge yourself on how far you can get into the game!


Simply in this game, at the beginning of each level, you get to see the cards, and you must use your memory to turn over the matching cards one after another for more points. BUT watch out for the 'Boomer', which is the black, scary-looking tinka; if you click on a 'Boomer', then it is game over for you! :o


This game, Memory, has the same uniqueness like the other game 'Add10'. Instead of earning seeds, you earn actual points for the 'Thinker' section in your stats for Tinkatolli activity.


ShellDiggr

The next game can be found in Sundunia, which is on the far right of the map, and it is called ShellDiggr. In this game, you need to use eye-coordination and aiming skills, or else game over for you. :P


In ShellDiggr, all you need is to click the left button on your mouse or touchpad to release the hook and aim for shells. Each level have a specific time limit and goal you MUST reach within the time period, or else it is game over.


This is also the best game to play if you are in need of seeds fast along with lots and lots of seeds. :P Oh yeah, there are also rocks, which is another obstacle you need to watch out for, or else you can lose precious time for not being careful. :)


Dunes Dude

A second game that can be found in Sundunia, which is on the far right of the map, and it is called Dunes Dude.


In Dunes Dude, all you need is to the arrows to steer your tinka in the game and to avoid obstacles - such as flags, wooden board, etc - which will cause you to lose a life in the game.


The objective in this game, or goal, is to collect 4 different type of shells. If you get caught in an obstacle, then you lose all the shells and force to collect all of them again along with losing a life.


Mandala Maker

Finally, the last game is called Mandala Maker and can also be found at Sundunia with ShellDiggr.


In the Mandala Maker game, it is simply creating radially symmetrical designs in the sand basing from the motion of your cursor, which you will need to click, drag, and release to start a new marking in the circle. ^^


Now for this game, you don't really earn anything but you can save your creative circle designs of the mandala in the sand and enter them into the 'Maker' section for Tinkapoints in your scrapbook! :P



That is all the mini-games for now on Tinkatolli tinkas! Maybe even set up challenges for yourself! Like Viper, whose favorite game is ShellDiggr, and her best is Level 20; now her goal is to get past level 20. :P So go have fun, earn seeds, and play all the games! ^.^

Final Chance to Win a Tinka-Tee!

Hello Tinkerers! The staff are adding more and more new testers to the game so be on the look out for that email! So, Tinkatolli made a blog post indicating that there is only one more Tinka-Tee being given away so the staff has extended the contest to the 12th of January so advertise your Tinka if you want to win the last Tinka-Tee! Below are some pictures of past Tinka-Tee winers.

In other news, there is a hidden room in TinkaTolli called Asimov! Its really tricky to find but when you get in you get a pretty rare item so it's worth it!


How to: Get Home!

Hey Tinkas,

To get to your home, Start off start by traveling to "Canopia".
At Canopia go up or zoom out, And go to this area,


As you can in the picture above, There is a spoon. Walk near it, A acron should pop up in a bubble. Simply place a acorn from your bag onto the spoon. Like this,

Once you've done that, A big tucan (the froot loops bird) will appear.
Which will open a secret entrance to your home.

Once in, Walk on the transportation thing.

Once you've followed all these steps correctly, You should appear at your home.

Congrats, Now your ready to start decorating your home. Also you can decorate your home with different type of items you find around tinkatolli. Have fun Decorating!

~Tinkatolli Secrets

Additional note:

Notice that when you get into your tree, it is all dark and dim inside. If you look on the right, you notice some kind of Tinka animal and if you put your cursor over him, a message pop-ups to tell you to feed him so he can wake up, like this:


To wake him up, all you do is open up your backpack and take out any organic item - acorn, flowers, leaves, etc. Then drag the organic item to the animal and release it. He will eat the organic item up and his bulb-like tail would light up! ^.^


So now you have a bright, lit up tree! :P
