Pogo’s created some great exercise-themed, animated badges for a new Premium Album coming soon. Each badge features a Pogo character doing some type of workout. There’s Tex Carter from Tri-Peaks on an exercise bike, Payday Freecell’s King on a mini-trampoline, a Squelchie jumping out of his fishbowl to hit a punching bag, the Word Whomp gopher on a treadmill, and Boogie Bear from Tumble Bees lifting weights. That’s five badges and challenges for this upcoming album so far. We’ll keep you posted as we hear of a name and what these games’ challenges will entail.
Squelchies – Squishy Squelchies Badge
Reach the Jellyfish Bonus Round 12 times this week!
(Collect King Squelchies to unlock the Bonus Round!)
This one is a little tedious, especially if you’re not terribly fond of Squelchies (like some of us are). Collect King Squelchies (see image at left for an example of a blue one) by matching them with other similarly colored squelchies. Each time you get a King Squelchie, you’ll get a letter towards spelling BONUS. Once you spell bonus, then you get the bonus round. After you finish the bonus round, if you hit New Game, it seems you progress towards this badge faster.
There doesn’t seem to be a trick to getting the game to give you more King Squelchies, they just arrive along with the others. It doesn’t matter what level you play on, just be sure that once you see a King Squelchie that you go directly for it because if the round ends before you match it with another set of Squelchies, you won’t get the credit towards the bonus round.
High Stakes Pool – 9-Ball Badge
Win 9 “9-Ball” games this week!
This game should take no more than an hour or so, whether you are playing against humans or computers. Just make sure you’re on the 9-Ball tab when you choose a room. The object of the game is to hit balls 1 through 9 in that order into the pockets, more or less. The fastest way — although not the easiest way — to win the game is to sink the 9-ball by hitting first the required numbered ball into the 9-ball so it lands into one of the pockets. As we said, not easy, but we managed to line it up right twice today, so it’s at least possible.
