Super Zangyura Trophy & Unlocks Guide

Super Zangyura is out on PS4/Vita/PS5 in English now! I couldn’t find a good trophy guide so…I made one! Here are all the trophy descriptions, unlocks, and tricks you should need to get that platinum trophy!

Super Zangyura Controls

Most of the controls work as simply as described, though I highly recommend changing the default Attack and Jump commands to be on Square and X instead of the default. I like X to jump and Square to attack.

Secret techniques:

Jump while charging an attack to fall slower. Essential to reach certain items, especially in Hard.

Jump after being hit to do a mid-air hop, is essential to escape some constant-hit traps or save yourself from a bad fall.

Sometimes the Charge Attack will be required to break walls for secrets or even to proceed. If stuck, hit everything. Sometimes a normal attack and charged attack have different results.

Attack while moving forward to attack just a bit farther.

Attacking while crouching can help hit certain objects, usually through small gaps.

Charging an attack also blocks projectiles from above, even the “laser” from Rooks, essential in some areas.

The Dash can seem useless to a casual player, but it’s essential at some points to cross gaps. In higher difficulties, you’ll need to be very familiar with exactly how far you will dash. Also, it’s faster than walking so good for speed runs.

Super Zangyura Trophies (Epics)

Each Trophy is listed in the Epics menu, giving a vauge hint before being unlocked and the actual description after unlocking. The PSN Trophy lists the hint, not the real solution. Most will be obtained simply by beating Super Zangyura once and completing the Mythics in Time Trials.

How To Block ALL NFT Hexagon Avatars Accounts on Twitter

Cryptobros. Hexagons. NFT Chuds. Buttcoiners. Call them what you will, everyone hates them. What if there were a way to hide them all from Twitter in an instant? Well you can with Better TweetDeck’s mute feature!

Thanks to Better TweetDeck which has already added an option to auto-mute NFT Avatars (those people with Hexagon avatars that spam your notifs if you dare mention NFTs). Note that unfortunately since this is a Browser Extension (and for Tweetdeck) it more or less only works on Desktop. If you find a simple solution to auto-mute cryptobros on Twitter, please let me know in the comments!

After installing the Browser Extension (their site has links for Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari), all you need to do is get to the Better Tweetdeck settings and turn on the feature. Find this button at the bottom of your BTD modified tweetdeck.com:

Better Tweetdeck Settings button

And find the Misc section of the General tab, the first tab that opens in settings and check this lovely little button and you’ll mute all NFT avatars (and their users) from the whole UI! Better TweetDeck also has a number of cool features that can improve your Twitter experience, but I won’t go into that here.

This option will Hide NFT Integration on Twitter (Better Tweetdeck)

Note that this will only hide NFT Avatar users, not users faking a hexagon crop (lol because yes of course you can do that), or Crypto users not using the NFT integration. Also note this is just a BTD mute, the users are not blocked and can still read your tweets; they just won’t show up in your UI. But out of site, out of mind.

Author’s note: I don’t make Better TweetDeck, this is just a little HowTo! Direct any cryptobro rage to [email protected], and any BTD support questions to Better TweetDeck’s support.

Got any other Anti-NFT tools? Share ’em in the comments!

Pokemon Cafe ReMix Guide – Quickstart & Strategy

Pokemon Cafe ReMix is out now for Nintendo Switch and Android/iOS mobile platforms! This is a remade version of the puzzle game that launched last year, and it’s much improved. This guide is a Work In Progress as Pokemon Cafe ReMix just came out, but feel free to ask questions and add tips in the Comments! I will expand on the guide as I play and have time.

See my other Pokemon Guides if you need more games to play! We also have a Discord Server, come say hi in the Mobile Games channel.

Pokemon Cafe ReMix Gameplay Tips

Which Pokemon?

Generally you’ll almost always want to use the suggested Pokemon on the Order menu. It will suggest 2 Pokemon will Gimmicks/skills that are helpful, and usually the left one is best to use.

You can still press Set Leader to pick a different Pokemon, make sure their Specialty matches. Generally, you only need to do this if a difficult Gimmick is involved but isn’t covered by the suggestions.

Early on, Eevee will be your workhorse (fox), easily handling most beginner levels. It’s Gimmicks are extremely common and it will save you many turns, so level up Eevee early (this helps you get Mew early anyway).

Training

You get a measly 10 XP for clearing a normal order, and Experience Tarts that give direct XP are rare rewards. This means that for the most part to level up your Pokemon, you’ll need to use the Training from the Pokemon menu.

Fortunately, training gets you to level 10 very fast and your top priority should be getting all your pokemon to level 5 (then 10) as soon as possible. This will only take a few training sessions. After order 100 and 200, you’ll be able to spend 2 and then 3 stamina at once to speed up training.

Grow RPG Σ (Sigma) Solution Guide & Walkthrough

Grow RPG Sigma is/was an Android port of EyezMaze’s delightful Grow RPG with added achievements, unlockable ‘figures’, and a whole new Sigma mode!

Check out my other Grow guides.

Grow Sigma Ending Solutions

Like all Grow games, click the items to “use” them, the order in which they’re used affects the outcome. A specific order is required to “win” or see the endings.

To keep things fun, spoilers are staggered, so you can see which item to use first/last to help use process of elimination to figure things out, rather than simply looking at the whole list and spoiling it all in one go. If you know the first item, there’s much less possible mistakes to make.

Normal Ending

Grow games usually have at least one secret ending. As far as I can tell, Grow RPG Sigma Mode only has one sending. If there’s a secret, let me know in the comments so I can add it!

Item 1
Cloud
Item 2
Egg
Item 3
Potion
Item 4
Iceberg
Item 5
Fire

Download Grow RPG Sigma

Grow RPG Sigma was sadly removed from Android stores, but you can still download and play the APK File to play it. I’ve played the one from APK Pure myself, so it should be safe.

You can play it on PC with Nox Player (or any other Android emulator of your choice). Or naturally, on almost any Android phone.

Google Play Achievements

Here’s a guide with the Android achievements information for now: https://www.exophase.com/game/grow-rpg-%CF%83-android/achievements/

100% Orange Juice Co op Roles Guide

100% Orange Juice’s Co Op mode is criminally underrated and a great addition to this Steam board game. I’ll work more on expanding this guide later if you all find it interesting, but for now I’ve focused on who to use for which role.

A note, since you determine your cards and role, any character can fill any role. There’s just some characters that have notable advantages, and I’ve listed my personal favorites for all roles here. Let me know in the comments who your favorites to use are!

What Is 100% Orange Juice Co Op?

As a quick run-down, Co Op turns the normally free-for-all verus game of 100% Orange Juice into a more strategic and cooperative game where all 4 players (ideally) decide on which roles each player will play, which characters, and which cards they’ll bring.

Since everyone is working together instead of against each other, certain characters are more or less effective, and certain cards play differently in co op. Cards that serve only to harm other players for example are either removed or edited so that they impact the boss instead. For a list of card changes, see the Wiki, another great resource.

If that sounds too easy or boring, keep in mind all 4 players are working against a super overpowered boss with 50+ HP and an increasingly powerful set of special Boss Hyper Cards, some of which can instantly KO one or more players. If all players are KO’d at the same time, the players lose the round and the boss wins.

It completely changes the game and I can’t recommend 100% Orange Juice Co-Op enough. Join us in our Discord Server if you want to play with us, we play it very often and have a role you can ping to look for games.

Do note co op works much better with human players. Try online and remove your password before starting the game, even a rando is better than a CPU (they tend to waste your stars and do very little). I’ve encountered much less rude players playing co op online than VS mode, so don’t be shy to dip your toes in the pool. Or, again, join our discord!

Roles

Roles are half of what makes Co Op interesting: each player can pick one of 5 roles which have specific stat boosts (gaining extra stats at Norma level 2, 3, and/or 4), a special Hyper Card you can replace your character’s hyper with, and a Cooldown skill that helps you or your team out.

Proper use of roles is key to victory in Co Op, and you should coordinate your roles with your team before starting a round to ensure you have the right balance of attack and defense.

Here’s quick rundown of the roles, a much more thorough breakdown is in each roles section below:

  • Attacker
    • Deal extra damage at the expense of gaining 1 REC, extending revive times. Always gets first turn attack against the boss.
  • Guardian
    • High defense stat and shield allies from damage. The only way to reduce incoming damage to 0 instead of 1.
  • Support
    • Revive allies and heal them by walking past them on the board, +1 Evade and +2 move through stat boosts.
  • Avenger
    • Extra HP and damage taken inside a battle is added to your attack for that battle. Revive instantly when certain powers are used to attack after a KO and avoid losing the match.
  • Dealer
    • Deal extra cards and pass them to other players, useful for spamming hypers or filling other players’ hands. Can also ignore a tile’s effect turning it into a Draw tile.

Are YouTube Shorts Worth Making? My Success With Shorts

YouTube Shorts were recently released publicly though still technically in Beta. The short-form looping videos are a very clear answer to TikTok (and the former Vine), providing very short videos of a minute or less to a vertical-only viewing experience designed just for Mobile, surfaced in a compact “watch a bunch at once” style experience.

If you haven’t messed with Shorts yet, the YouTube help article describes the technical aspects pretty well. I’ll focus more on how to use them and my experience with them and if they’re worth it. Note it’s very early stages so don’t draw too many conclusions, I’m still experimenting myself!

Have you started using YouTube Shorts? Share any tips or experiences in the comments below?

The YouTube Shorts Camera App

The Shorts Camera App seems to be the most direct answer to TikTok, including many features specifically for Shorts creation. However, it is only being tested in India for now, and users outside India will have to wait for the app to roll out worldwide.

YouTube Shorts Camera explanation

The features sound pretty good and will help notice users make Shorts without much/any editing work. The Shorts Camera is NOT required to upload shorts however, so you can upload them now even if you don’t have the app/live outside India.

Note that while the Shorts “experience” is only on Mobile, Shorts are still also a “normal” upload video that will appear like any other video to Desktop users. You get to have your cake and eat it too.

How To Make Your YouTube Video a Short

Even without the app, you can simply upload a vertically oriented (9:16 aspect ratio usually) video 60 seconds or less in length and include #Shorts in the description or title and the system will recognize it as a Short (though this doesn’t guarantee it will be featured as one).

Shorts are somewhat limited: Users can watch the Short, Comment, Like, Share, Subscribe, visit your channel or with a little effort, read the description. Many YouTube features like Chapters and even captions (!!) are currently unsupported, since when watching a Short from the Shorts slider, you get a different fullscreen interface instead of the usual watch page. No ads are shown in the Shorts experience, so a Shorts feature probably won’t raise your income directly—but subs are money too.

The lack of captions is particularly frustrating for accessibility reasons, plus many of us watching on phone leave our devices muted anyway. If your video completely depends on captions, I would bake them in for now. You also cannot tell what frame will be used as the “thumbnail” for Shorts—YouTube will use a frame from the video, not your normal thumbnail.

Expect inconsistency, new features for shorts etc, as the rollout is still technically a beta, so anything could change (or they could quietly nuke the project in a year as Google often does).

Where Do Users See Shorts?
