I have been a player of Pickericks for about a month now, and I'm already moving with some certainty within levels 1 to 3 and have won and lost quite a few games. But my balance sheet still looks pretty good.
I've also ventured into level 4 a lot lately, but that looks rather mixed and I still have some problems here to defeat my opponents. Level 5 and higher has always been a "no-go area" for me, an district I hadn't really ventured into yet.
)But yesterday it finally happened and I started my first level 5 game. Who does not dare, does not win. And it is quite a risk, considering that a Level 5 pig is available in the store for 25 dollars. If you can call such a pig your own, you don't want to lose it right away. But if you win a pig in this level, you will kinda win 25 dollars. So it is getting exciting here.
My opponent was Piklog, one of the most active and successful Piggericks players. So a hard battle was guaranteed.
And as it is so usual for me lately, I started with a pig-out and let my opponent take the lead.
After this bumpy start I was lucky to catch up and was able to land a few good tosses and keep my opponent always a little bit at a distance. The goal is now 3.13 million points and the throws now count more than in the last level. For this fancy mega-combo you now get 500.000 points.
In the end, I played the first game much better than expected and was able to prevail against my strong competitor. At the end I landed a fine Double Razorback and I slipped with good speed into the finish.
As already mentioned, level 5 is much more tense from the beginning and you don't want to lose the game
So the excitement factor is already very high.
Afterwards I played a few more games in level 5 and won first. Unfortunately I couldn't win any new pig and lure it into my stable. In the contrary case I had to give up two of my own precious pigs after a heavy defeat.
Was that it with Level 5 ? Well, I hope not, although I'm warned for now. But it was fun in these higher spheres and it's very appealing to accept the challenge and take up the fight. So I guess I'll be there again one day.
And if you want to join Piggericks as well, check out my last post. There are still 3 level 1 pigs to win, you only need and follow some German instructions.
