Goobers Lab information and tips with picture..

[littlex3red]

Here are the Basics:

Object of the game is to get atom sets in order to fill your beaker..
For every 200 points you get $1 kinzcash
The faster you go through the levels filling the beaker the more kinzcash you earn.

Atom sets: atoms of the same color
Sets consist of 3, 4, or 5 atom color sets.

5 atom bonus atoms -- you can get them by setting up a group of 5 atoms of
The same color in a row for the first 3 levels – after that they drop from the top.
*You can also still create them on all the levels..**

Use the 5 atom bonuses in any set in order to get a chance to win a trophy..
This is random and it is approximately a 1 in 400 chance of getting it each time
You hit the 5 atoms star in a set group. The other chances give you kinzcash, or explode all atoms of that color.

4 atom sets –this will cause a red dot atom to appear.
The bonus for using this is atom in a set is to pop a random selection of other atoms to fill your beaker faster..

Point are awarded as follows (this is my own research and if it is not correct, please pm and I will correct it..)

Level 1 is your score plus –level 1 bonus of the seconds remaining on the clock
Level 2 is your score plus –level 2 bonus of the seconds remaining multiplied by 2
Level 3 is your score plus –level 3 bonus of the seconds remaining multiplied by 3
Level 4 is your score plus –level 4 bonus of the seconds remaining multiplied by 4
Level 5 is your score plus –level 5 bonus of the seconds remaining multiplied by 5

This is how the bonus is calculated for all the levels as far as I can see..

Trophies can be won in both the arcade and the tournament area.

**UPDATE 6/18/08 -- they are now showing the bonus scores again on the level end screens..

Here is a strategy that my good friend Williamson_39 reminded me to put in here is that you should play towards the top saving the sets at the bottom and maybe a four set to shake up the board if you seem to be getting low on sets or running out of time.

Have fun and here is to getting your own Goober Lab trophies

Any tips you have will be appreciate for others to view..

Don't forget to let us know how many you have won

I have won 17 goober lab trophies so far.. *5/9/08 update got another one...

Some new tips...
Try playing without the sound, it can be distracting. thanks VivalaWebkinz

Jsebaker reminds us that if you sell the trophy to the W-shop it is only worth $100kc
**better off trading when you become gifted then to sell out to the W-shop...

forgot to post a picture. The lab trophy is under the blue 3 year trophy .. one is spinning the other is stationary. You have to walk up to it to get it to spin..

Don't forget to rate this thread if you think other people will appreciate it. (thank you)

Very nicely said. I never knew that about the bonus points. Really excellent info, and a great idea to compile it for the new subforum. Five stars littlex3red!

Cheers!

I have found this one very easy for me, but not everyone can get this one easily.. one of the best to start of with is candy bash 2 as it has good odds

with this game you need to just have patience and work with the 5 atom into sets as much as possible to work the odds..

It is only a matter of time and you will be getting your own..\
I would love if you would post here and let me know when you win..

Your welcome.. It took me some time to figure out the point system as they don't actually put the bonus on the screen, but It was worth it..

I am glad I could help..

Don't forget to let me know how you do...

I am very frustated with this game. I have been playing for one week and used many 5 atoms but still no trophy.... help please.. thanks

Great Thread, I never knew how the bonuses were calculated...I love the game.. I've won 6 trophies so far...

[vivalawebkinz]

i have won 4 trophies, gotten to level 19, highest score is 46 257....i dont do anything special with getting trophies, i do not focus on looking for 4 or 5 colors in a row, i just look for 3 combos scsnning the screen because you are on a timed limit...if i happen to see a four or five some of course i take it but dont focus on looking for it. i also always leave a few color combos at the bottom especially when you are on higher levels, for the combos come much less often and you want a back up with color combos at the bottom...so focus on combos on top and middle and when there are none, use you bottom reserve...thats my tip...it works

You just have to keep using those 5 atoms in sets..

The first time I won I think I was about 35 games in with average level of 12 and hitting the
5 atoms sets about 2 times a level in average so I must have hit the sets 840 times before I
got my first trophy on this game..

**it was actually my first trophy too -- so it was special..

It is only a matter of time before you get yours

I have also found that when it is the game of the day -- more people are playing and the odds seem to run faster -- meaning I seem to get more of my trophies on the days that it is the game of the day..
