Feed Florg!


By Moonie

Moonsie's Guide to Feed Florg

Look at this avatar! Lovely isn't it? You can get it by sending a score of 250+ in the game Feed Florg.

Florg is a hungry mutant chia who likes to eat petpets. Your goal is to keep the petpets on a plate by hitting them with a hand. To move the hand you must use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard. The right arrow key will move the hand clockwise. The left arrow key will move it counter-clockwise.

The controls sound confusing don't they? Well… The only way to get used to them is by practicing. You may find yourself moving the hand to the opposite side you intended to. It happens. Just keep practicing until you get used to the controls.

Alternatively, you can go to the options menu and choose to play using the mouse. I don't recommend it. It seems even more confusing than the arrow keys. When it comes to game size, some users suggest playing with the small size because it makes it easier to keep track of the petpets. I like the large size because I can aim the hand better. Try different settings and find out what is easier for you.

What happens when a petpet falls off the plate? A life is lost. You have a total of five lives. Every time you hit a petpet you get one point. When Florg eats a petpet, you get ten.

Say hi to the petpets!

To get this avatar you need patience, concentration, practice, and luck.

It is highly recommended that you turn off the sound. It can distract you. Focus on the plate instead of the crying Florg. Try to be alert. If you just stare at the screen, you can get distracted as well. Don't look at the score and lives too much. This stirs up emotions that mess up with your concentration.

The first time you hit a petpet with the hand, it will start moving faster. Different petpets have different speeds. Keep an eye on their speeds. Go for the faster ones first. Get synchronized. When there are three or four petpets on the plate, take a look at their speeds and figure out the order in which you have to hit them.

Depending on the petpet's position, there will always be a key which will get the hand to the petpet faster. Keep moving! Don't wait until the petpet is close to the edge to move the hand. Florg will not always eat the petpet that has been on the plate for the longest time first.

Sometimes you won't be able to prevent all the petpets from falling. You have to make choices. Use your logic. Imagine the following scenario: You have two petpets on the left side and one on the right. All three petpets seem to go at a similar speed. Which side do you go to? Yes! The left! Only one will escape and you will keep two on the plate. You need to learn when go for it and when to leave it. This can only be achieved with practice.

There are times when you get lucky and Florg eats the petpet that is about to fall. Once you start getting better, you will develop a sixth sense that will help make Florg eat the petpets that are about to fall more often.

If you have lost too many lives before reaching 150 points, start over. Your chances of getting the avatar are higher if you have more lives. If you have the time and want extra practice, keep playing.

Important! Like many games… this game can be very hard, frustrating, and annoying. Try not to get angry. When you feel moody, stop playing and try again later.

Overwhelmed? This seems like a lot doesn't it? Don't worry! Once you start improving, you will do these things automatically.

Good luck!
