yeah bro I got 4996 at most did not find any way to get 5000

I finished it, can't really be specific but you need all but 1 potion and 1 poison barrel in the final bit at the end.

route for top "room" is -178, +135, +153, +90, +136, -100, +142, -150.
So leave the +115, +72 and -159 alone

I didnt realize just how close I was, I had to follow the universal truth of halving first :P

Also feeling this way about Stage 25 of Spellbinding Scroll, at least in terms of getting three stars. The score they're asking you to get for that stage is borderline impossible

The trick seems to be that in the beginning, you need to get one 30 single man then "shooting girls" 50 man THEN x2 bonus. If you instead get 2 30 single men before x2 bonus, it won't add up enough by the end of the level. In fact, you can even do a single mistake later in the level and still get 3 stars.

Same here

Would someone mind helping me get past the first room tbh? Truly in that first room I feel like I’ve optimized everything as much as I could but I can’t pass the 148 spider. I feel kinda dumb having beaten every level 3 stars but not being able to do the dang first room of level 25.
Route I’m going so far: +1, 2 bat, right (2,6,8), left (7,14,40), right (÷2,15,x2), right (25, +5), up (-20,63,110,÷2) and that leaves me with 147 against that 148 spider. I truly cannot fathom where to get the extra 2 points I’m missing. I’m sure I’ll struggle with the rest of the rooms after this but, idk I feel weird having beaten all the first 24 levels and struggling this hard with the first room ya know?

Take the +5 from the right after the upper path

Thaaaaat was it. Thank you haha, I definitely feel dumb for missing that, saving the +5 for after the division makes a lot of sense and I’m kinda mad at myself for not trying that. Thank you for the help!

I love that these games can actually serve as brain teasers, despite the premise of the game being a somewhat tongue in cheek satire of misleading mobile game ads lol. The mini-games here are actually fun and can be challenging.
