First, a big THANK YOU to this site and the people who take the time to keep it up; found it 2nd day in and it has helped immensely…. One word ~Farms! Lol. And very helpful when I got hit over the head with Septemberfest almost immediately 😉
    Trial by fire….now Death event!
    Sooo…a couple days into event, I have saved Lois from Slasher Cat, placed Death’s mom’s house (but will not pay 1450 clams to unlock Death within 24 hours), and have Poppy the Salted.
    My dilemma…. Do I place the other two buildings that give event materials (frankly, 1 marble every 18 hours isn’t all that enticing)….or save precious clams for a possible last minute push to get Death? I really want Death!!!
    Any insights?
    NOTE: You have the right to remain silent, However, anything you say will NOT be used against you 😉 I understand that any purchases made by me are my decision and mine alone.
    And thanks again 😉

    • Welcome to the Addicts Madness!! Beware, that Bunny chick is INSANE!! 😉 😛

      My stand point is to ALWAYS save Clams. Earn all you can for Free first, then decide if it will really be worth it to you to invest. Save those Clams for cool unique new characters or other items that will make YOU happy. Many items do help you go faster and get things quicker, but can be earned with some patience and time put in instead. Do you want to invest the time or the dime? That is the trade off.

      I always look at a Clam purchase like this… 3 months or more from now, you still gonna be happy with it? Or regretting it?

    • Don’t worry. It’s as intended. The Questline isn’t meant to be rushed and done in one day, so they will always have some kind of “item needs unlocked” point to move forward in it. You still have 4 days before anything new is released. Just keep playing and having fun. 🙂

              • This game crashing s historically a huge memory/space hog.

                1) Best practices are every few events uninstall and reinstall the game. When the game updates, it doesn’t remove old files from previous events thereby leaving much digital clutter on your device. Installed with an event included should take up roughly 250mb. First time I uninstalled the game it was at almost 3gb after a year of gameplay.

                2) Depending on how many apps you have running in the background, you may not have enough available memory to continue playing seamlessly. Before launching the game, shut down as many background apps/tasks/widgets/etc as you can. By design it uses as much memory as is available to buffer the game. The more you have running, then the less available memory for the game.

                3) Animations are cool but suck up a lot of memory as each animation is multiple images run in succession. Try putting away as many animated objects in the game as you can and you’ll notice a significant increase in performance of your game.

                Sadly I fear that the game is starting to outgrow devices by their current standards. The real benefit of PC’s versus devices is realized fully when awesome games like this one struggle to be played as the designers intend. Best of luck.

    My question might need more testing or whatnot and a little premature but I’m curious if you know how often slasher cat can chase after lois? Just unlocked slasher bait Peter so I saved Lois, set her on breaking up lovebirds and then went about slaughtering nuns…I look back a minute later and slasher cat is giving chase once more! So it’s a multi part question but can slasher cat just continually chase after her or is there supposed to be some cool down time in between? Also does all the chasing end when you finally unlock slasher cat?

    • Slasher Cat & Lois are completely separate then Slasher Cat the fully tasked Character. So want to get that out of the way right off.

      Think of Slasher Cat & Lois as a “side” task, just an image of an item that shows up and interacts with a Character until the “task” is done. Just like the Visual tasks Characters have. As for how often, it is random. There is no time set when the Slasher Cat & Lois “task” will trigger.

Once the nun stops, hit launcher icon with left thumb, while right index finger is hovering over spot with check mark. Once she goes purple, hit the check mark with right index finger. If anything makes me hesitate (such as if the check bar is too low and not accessible) wait and hit X if needed to stop launcher and try again. Make sure the zoom isn’t high or else the check bar will not be fully accessible. Apparently this procedure gives me the extra fractions of a second I need to do a quick melt with no need to adjust the aim. I’m not good at aiming…
