Best friends level 288 walkthrough. “In any unclear situation, use a clicker”: analysis of the game Best Fiends Forever

Game designer of the Digital Bee Garden studio Sergey Nilov figured out how Best Fiends Forever, a new clicker from the company Seriously, works. Like the first installment in the bugs and slugs series, Forever is a significant step forward for its genre. But it wasn't without problems.

“In any unclear situation, use the clicker!” - this is the motto under which a new wave of brand development is taking place. Transferring a successful setting to radically different mechanics is far from a new idea. This is how Mario Kart appeared, and Rovio has been doing this for a long time. Plants vs. Zombies is already experiencing its third reincarnation in the form of a card “battler”. This year, Mail.ru took over the baton with its clickers based on big games, and now the authors of Best Friends have joined them.

At first glance, the studio's new creation follows all the trends of clicker battles: the player moves through the scenery, new monsters (whose role is again played by slugs) pop up in front of him, only to give way to the next after death. Regular battles with bosses who need to deal damage in a limited time only confirm this feeling.

However, this is only at first glance. Best Fiends Forever strives hard to address the concerns that fans of the genre have. And the first of them is monotony. Game sessions of most clickers are structured according to the following scheme: log in, level up, defeat the boss, reach the boss to whom you lose, and leave. And the weak point in them is reaching the second boss. Because stupidly clicking on enemies is extremely ineffective, and there’s nothing else to do.

Best Fiends Forever is another matter. Since the game is set up as a journey with changing scenery, the authors placed special objects on each of them that can be “tapped.” Among them there are both regular chests with extra money and traps that deal damage to slugs and often have funny animations. This allows you to pass the time until the next boss without getting bored and keeps the player’s attention.

Another problem with clickers is huge amounts, which are indicated by not very clear letters: q, Q, s, S, o, n, d and so on. The authors of Best Fiends solved this problem easily and naturally: at a certain moment the game tells us that a billion money is equal to one unit of the new currency, and from that moment we unanimously switch to it. And all the improvements that cost less than a billion are now free. Naturally, this transition does not occur early, but somewhere after the trillion. According to my calculations, three or four currencies are enough to balance the average clicker.

The developers also easily cope with the dominance of characters in clickers: not only are only the five strongest visible on the screen at a time, but for every ten levels they receive x5 in strength, which allows them to remain effective longer. But you still get the feeling that it’s no longer profitable to upgrade the booger from the year before.

By the way, about balance. Everyone knows that it significantly affects the feel of the game, but in Forever everything is implemented just perfectly. In the first session, the player, like many places, needs to “stomp” the monster. Only he dies not with ten taps, but with one. But there are ten of them. In the next game, everyone falls two times and so on. This, coupled with additional activity in locations, immediately creates a feeling of increased game dynamics, which has a good effect on engagement. And if the insects are so pumped up that they begin to kill the slugs very quickly, then a speedometer appears on the side showing your pace, and all animations are accelerated, allowing you to quickly get to challenge battles, which is especially effective in “prestige” (a special game mode, when switching to which progress is reset to zero - editor's note).

Like the original, the new Best Fiends has five conventional classes of creatures. Conditional - because they are no different, it’s just that each new discovered creature is stronger than the previous one. And five abilities are also conditionally attached to them. Again conditionally - because these are just five abilities that are tied to buttons under the characters. However, these abilities allow the developers to control the player's time. The first two of them are quite weak and recover quickly - in ten and forty seconds. And this is another factor that entertains the player between bosses, as well as a small tactical technique - it’s better not to approach the boss without them. The other two abilities are much stronger, but they also take thirty to forty minutes to recover. They allow you to finish off one or two strong bosses and then leave the game for an hour. Thus, the player cycle depends not only on the influx of money, but also on the restoration of these abilities, which significantly reduces the time to return to the game.

Of particular note is the way the player gains these abilities. If defeating the boss does not open a new bug, then the player is given three boxes to choose from. If a player has a bug without an ability, then this ability always falls out. In the future, only money falls out of the boxes, which is frustrating after such useful rewards as abilities.

Also, the return to the game depends on the influx of money. It, like everywhere else, happens even when the player leaves the game - and she does not hesitate to remind about it. These reminders, like those of "prestige", pop up after each boss defeat and are meant to reduce frustration while opening up new opportunities. You can be absent usefully for a limited time: no more than eight hours. This time provides a minimum three-time entry into the game for those who cannot be hooked with abilities: in the morning, afternoon and before bed.

The game itself manages your time - this is its first problem. Three current quests constantly loom before the player's eyes, promising hard currency as a reward. Some of them are quite good for the development of the player: upgrade a bug, use an ability, do not enter the game for eight hours. Others frankly break the course of the game: I, as a player, want to quickly free up slots for new quests, but two of them have tasks tied to “prestige”, and the complexity of the game itself does not require me to switch to it at all.

And there are problems with “prestige” itself. When moving to the next world, we lose everything except abilities, but we get a prestigious currency for which we can buy artifacts that simplify the next passage. And therein lies the big problem with the game. Clickers are games with a very sharp development curve, ten and hundred times gains are normal for them. The standard balance is not applicable to them, in which the price of the upgrade is constantly growing, while its step is preserved. Therefore, new characters are introduced into the gameplay, and the old ones are forgotten.

In the case of “prestige”, its first problem is precisely this. I earned ten times the prestige currency in order to double the damage of insects. And this is a needle in a haystack, plus two completed bosses on the map. The second problem: most artifacts bring little benefit, but at the same time they take up slots, which can also be purchased with prestige currency. The result is a dissonance: the game pushes for “prestige”, but almost never rewards it.

In principle, the game likes to push, this also applies to monetization. Temporary bonuses pop up regularly and are offered to be doubled for viewing ads or hard currency. Or buy soft currency in a day or three or seven. Doubling your earnings per night by viewing advertising is generally a sacred thing.

One of the important ethical questions when creating clickers is: “Is it ethical to sell currency for real money, which will then go to zero with prestige?” Best Fiends Forever answers this question unequivocally: of course, yes. You can always buy more, to upgrade your bugs or defeat a boss - it doesn’t matter, there is always money to spend.

And finally, what is poorly done in the game is the interface. Almost everything is bad with him. The “tap” field is filled with buttons for improving units, which makes playing with eight fingers in battle ineffective. The quest button often lights up as active when it is not, bosses pop up unexpectedly and without visual warnings, and I guessed the meaning of the speedometer purely empirically. The “prestige” offer is so intrusive that a window first appears that can only be closed after a couple of seconds. And at the same time, there is absolutely no information about the benefits of “prestige” until the player switches to it: the banal “get stones and become stronger.” Against this background, the lack of clear feedback from taps outside a certain zone (although the taps themselves count) doesn’t look so bad.

As a result, I can say that Best Fiends Forever is very similar to the original Best Fiends: both projects did not revolutionize their genre, but they made a significant qualitative step forward. And the new mechanics of Best Fiends Forever will probably be cloned in the next generation of clickers.

is a match-3 game with RPG elements in which you will collect monsters and use them to fight against invaders.

This game may seem simple to you, but it has its own peculiarities, so a few tips will definitely not be superfluous.

• You can see how much damage you'll deal before you even make a move. To do this, you need to draw a line along those match-3 puzzle elements that match. Above the enemy's head you will see the damage caused by this move and the enemy's overall HP level. This way you can plan your actions and choose moves that cause maximum damage.
• Damage dealt is carried over. This means that if you manage to inflict extra damage on another enemy that exceeds his health level, then all the unused potential of this damage will automatically go to the next enemy. This way you can form chains, hitting enemies one after another. The exception is those invaders who are resistant to this type of damage - the chains are interrupted on them.
• Most of the obstacles in this game are not destroyed the first time. Only wood breaks immediately, while tiles, snow and boxes require several moves from you. Only bombs can destroy even a box the first time.
• The items you collect are saved despite your loss. Therefore, do not worry - diamonds, keys and meteors will remain with you. If you see that the level is almost lost, try to collect more useful things at the end.
• First, check what the goal of the level is, and only then select the character you plan to put into battle. To do this, tap on the level while on the map. A window will pop up with a description of upcoming tasks, these could be, for example: destroy 8 slugs, open 2 boxes, collect 40 purple mushrooms. If the tasks concern selection by color, then you better choose the hero who has the ability to convert this color. If the goal is to destroy a large number of slugs, then a hero with bombs will suit you more than others.
• Don't try to focus only on achieving your goals. For example, don't just pick mushrooms - doing just one thing will cause you to miss out on other opportunities.
• If you lose a level several times in a row, pay attention to which goals you cannot achieve. This case is an exception to the previous rule - if losses are repeated, then you will have to focus specifically on achieving one goal, the one on which you are losing, and nothing else.
• When destroying slugs, keep track of what heroes you have. The fact is that each of the heroes has its own color, which means that by collecting tiles of the desired color, you can deal more damage - the hero’s attack power increases.



• Bug heroes will appear randomly, so you will only be able to get two extra characters - Tempera and Quincy - before the Frozen Hills location. But in this location, your chances of getting the rest of the heroes increase, especially for level 21 - they appear in large quantities on it.
• If you enter the "rescue" window, you will not be able to leave it without spending the keys. Therefore, if you do not plan to use the keys, do not visit this window.
• It will not be possible to collect the insects you need on the first try due to their random appearance. Therefore, save up diamonds - for them you can buy extra keys, which, in turn, will help you get bugs. Once you have heroes of each color, you can stop saving diamonds and will finally start spending them on upgrades.
• Think before replaying a level. If you select “replay”, you will not be able to change the team of heroes. Therefore, sometimes it is better to go to the map and from there return to the level to replay it. While on the map, you can regroup by choosing more suitable insects.



• You don't have to destroy every obstacle on the playing field to win the level. A good example of this is level 21 - its ice walls can only be partially destroyed, and this will be enough to win.
• Energy in Best Fiends regenerates slowly. To bypass the timer, you can use an emergency method - change the time on your device. This can be done through the settings menu, in the Date and time section. Just move the time forward 3 hours, and then enter the game. The energy will be restored, after which you can return the device clock to the correct position.
• If you don’t want to change the time, you can use special boosters to replenish energy, but they come across randomly, so we cannot guarantee their availability.
• In most cases, choose bugs that can use bombs. They not only deal more damage, but are also capable of destroying obstacles and destroying boxes. Choose those that change colors only if you need to collect a lot (more than 50) of the same color tiles.
• Some levels are good for grinding. This is especially true for level 30 - in it you will find a lot of boxes and diamonds, so in order to earn more goodies, you should choose this one.



• If you place a bomb on the playing field, keep an eye on its affected area - it is circled. Remember that even the last tile in a row with a bomb can also explode, so how you form a chain of tiles determines the damage you can inflict.
• Large bombs only detonate from small ones, so place your bombs nearby and detonate them to destroy all the tiles on the field.
• Insects that can change colors do it instantly. If you tap on such a bug, you will see which tiles will change color. Study a possible color change in advance to understand how it will affect other color chains - you can destroy them, but you won’t be able to change the color back.

Best Fiends is one of the best match-3 adventure games developed Seriously for Android, which features better monster mechanics and easy character division. The passage of Best Fiends consists of collecting cute monsters fighting the invasion of vile slugs, which you need to overcome by collecting sequences and achieving certain goals. Tips, hints and strategies will help you effectively fight the slugs and tell you how to complete a separate Best Fiends level or the entire game as a whole and find stickers.

1. Possibility to preview the damage caused
Before you fight the slug, take advantage of the opportunity to pre-assess the damage caused to the slug. So, by moving along a separate sequence of tiles, the damage you inflict on the slug will be rated on a scale higher than it. Use this opportunity to evaluate each individual move and inflict maximum damage in one move. The picture above shows that the chosen sequence of tiles will deal 600 points of damage to the slug out of a possible 1000, so the slug will have a small level of health left, thus this move will not completely kill the slug.

2. Excess damage caused can be transferred to the next slug.
If the damage done to a slug is greater than what is necessary to kill it, then the excess damage will be transferred to the next slug that appears. This means that by collecting longer chains of various kinds of sequences, you will almost never lose the value of damage caused in an enemy transition. The exception to this rule is slugs, which are not vulnerable to certain elements: if you kill a slug with an excessive damage value with a sequence of purple mushrooms, and the next slug is not susceptible to purple mushrooms, the excess damage value will be reset to zero. Note: Dealing excess damage to the slugs always earns bonus items, such as a tick meteor shower, so dealing excess damage has more than one benefit.

3. Many obstacles require multiple sequences to overcome.
And although in order to overcome an obstacle in the form of a tree branch, only one simple sequence is needed, for most obstacles this will not be enough. So, for example, to remove snow, silted tiles or boxes, you will need several sequences of different tiles assembled side by side. However, if you have bombs, then with their help you can overcome the obstacle in one go, even if you previously could not do this in one go. In other words, the bomb will allow the box to open on the first hit, even if it was completely closed.

4. All elements collected during the passage of the level are saved, even if you lose in it.
This means that you will keep all the diamonds, meteor showers from ticks and keys that you collect during the level. If you already understand that you will not be able to complete the level, use the remaining moves to collect as many of these elements as possible at the end.

5. Check the target on the map first and select the appropriate monster.
When you click on a level on the map, the target and the corresponding current team of monsters will appear. So, for example, in the picture above the goal is 8 slimes, 2 closed boxes and 40 purple mushroom tiles. If the dominant goal of the stage is to collect a significant number of elements of the same color, then you will most likely need a monster with the ability to convert colors. Or if you need to kill a significant number of slugs, then you will need a monster with bombs, which causes additional damage when it explodes.

6. Pay attention to your goals, but don't let them distract you.
Many goals can be achieved if you simply collect sequences. Don't spend all your time just collecting mushrooms, even if they are part of a quest. Collect sequences and unlock elements as usual, and just watch how quickly you reach your goals.

7. If you have been failing at a particular level for a long time, pay attention to the goals that you cannot achieve.
As an exception to the previous rule, we note that if you fail to complete a stage within a certain time, focus on achieving the goal, and not just passing the level. For example, if you can't complete a level because you don't collect enough water drops, then try to collect all the water drops as soon as they become available.

8. When the slugs are killed, pay attention to the monsters you have.
At the very beginning of the game, you may only have one or two monsters. Each monster corresponds only to certain tiles. So, for example, green leaves for Temper, yellow flowers for Quincy, and so on. Sequences of such tiles will cause much more damage than tiles that do not belong to any monster. If you have monsters that are matched to each color, pay attention to the attack power: the higher the attack power, the more damage the corresponding sequence will cause.

9. Don't overlook finding monsters.
Although the monsters appear random, after Temper and Quincy appear, no additional monsters appear until you reach the "Frozen Hills" level. Therefore, you need to purchase additional keys and find at least three other monsters. If you don’t find other monsters, don’t worry, since the transition to level 21 - “Frozen Hills” is a turning point, and this is where you can find the missing monsters.

10. You cannot exit the rescue screen until you have used all the keys.
You must go through a select rescue screen the first time you play through a level. However, if you collect bonus keys from repeating the same level or from failing levels, all the keys will be accumulated and available any time you want to enter the rescue screen. If you want to save all the keys and use them another time, do not enter the rescue screen, as you will not be able to exit it until you use all the keys.

11. Save all the rescue diamonds.
The most important part of getting to the rescue screen is collecting monsters, but their appearance is random and it may take several attempts until a monster appears. Saving diamonds to buy additional keys can help you get the monster as quickly as possible. If you have collected all the monsters, or at least one of each color, you can start using diamonds to upgrade more freely.

12. Think before replaying a level.
When you fail to complete a level and you decide to select the replay button on the screen, do not forget that by selecting replay you will no longer be able to change the composition of the monster team. If you have problems completing a level, sometimes a replacement in the monster team can significantly change the conditions for completing the level. Before pressing “REPLAY”, stop and think about regrouping as a monster team, then go back to the map, select a level and change the team.

13. You don't have to necessarily open every section in a cluttered level.
Sometimes, overcoming just a few obstacles can make a big difference. Level 21 is a good example of this: the level is surrounded by many ice walls, but you don't need to break every wall to complete it.

14. Bypass the energy meter.
Currently, the game does not provide for the purchase of energy for recharging, and recharging is extremely slow. You can bypass the timer by changing the time on your device. Exit the game completely (double click on HOME and swipe over the game image to unload it). Go to device settings > general > date and time. Set the time three hours ahead, then download the game again. The energy must be filled, after which you can change the time in the device settings again to the correct one. Note: You may not be able to fill the energy on the first try, so try again.

15. Other notes on energy
If you don't want to change the time on your device to fill up energy, you can try to reach the maximum energy level while in the rescue screen. These changes are permanent and will remain forever. Instant energy refills are also sometimes found, usually only a few units at a time

16. In most cases you should choose monsters with the ability to use bombs.
Monsters with bombs are more useful as they have more high levels attacks and their bombs can help achieve other goals in the level, such as opening boxes or collecting diamonds. Choose a monster with the ability to change colors only when you really need to collect a lot of colored tiles, for example 50+. You can change the abilities of monsters by clicking on “i” on the monster menu.

17. Some levels are better for collecting individual elements than others.
If you need to repeat past levels in order to collect more ticks or diamonds, you need to choose those levels that include these elements in the goals. This ensures that this level contains the necessary elements in large quantities. An excellent level for collecting different elements is level 30, its objectives include boxes, pincers and diamonds, so you can be sure that you will find the necessary elements in sufficient quantities.

18. Bombs can detonate in any part of the chain.
When you select a tile with a bomb, the last element of the chain will be the tile where the bomb exploded. This means that you can control where you want to detonate the bomb, thereby adjusting the length of the chain, making it longer or shorter. The area that will be detonated by the bomb is marked on the screen with white dotted lines when you drag the bomb onto the field. The image above shows the same chain that will be blown up by a bomb. Depending on where the end point is chosen where the bomb is placed will determine the amount of damage that will be dealt, as the bomb will also blow up various adjacent tiles depending on its placement.

19. Giant bombs can only be exploded by other bombs.
Sometimes in levels there may be large black bombs on the field. These bombs can only be detonated when they come within range of another bomb. The explosion of a giant bomb will destroy all the tiles on the field.

20. Monster converters change the tiles to their color forever.
If you click on the converter, you can see which tiles will be changed to its color. Such tiles are always located next to the converter monster, so you can always include them in the corresponding sequence chain. However, if there is a wall in the way or you decide not to include all the changed tiles in the chain, then the color of the changed tiles will remain even after the converter monster disappears. Keep this in mind when you decide to use the converter monster, as it may break other nearby color chains.

Dear readers! Each of you sometimes wants to spend time with your i-device and for this you need a pleasant application that will hook you and bring you a good mood. We meet Best Fiends, which can not only lift your spirits, but also provide an opportunity to play with friends and then discuss this game for a long time. Read the full review below.

The first thing I want to say is that the game is very interesting, and most importantly, colorful. It will relax you and give you the opportunity to rest. Everyone will be able to spend time with their friends and children using this application.

The bottom line is that you will need to connect different figures of the same color on the field. These figures will be the force or power that will destroy the enemy who gets in your way. Each figure on your field has its own hero, of which you will have five in your arsenal. If you collect more figures at a time, the impact force will be higher. The figures can be connected in any way. That is, from one chosen one it will be possible to move in all eight directions.

Each of your heroes has a bonus that will later prove to be very good. This is either a converter that makes all the figures around itself look like itself, or bombs in a vertical or horizontal position. The bonus accumulates based on how you collect figurines of this hero.

Each hero will be hidden in chests that are presented for opening after each level. To do this, you are given three keys for winning, plus additional ones that you find at the level.

The obstacles at the level are very diverse. Of course, these are the enemies that will get in your way every time. The task will also be an obstacle. Because you need to collect a certain number of figures or destroy the monsters of this path. If you don't complete the task, you will fail the level. Various logs, sticks, snow, and so on will also be placed on the field. They can be destroyed in this way: you explode nearby figures of the same color, and the obstacle goes away. Also, monsters will splash the figures, so they cannot be used.

At each level you will collect special items that will allow you to upgrade your heroes. They will attack harder, which will make it possible to kill monsters faster and complete tasks with ease.

The most important thing is that you have energy. Each battle will require 2 energy and it will be restored over a long period of time, so you won’t be able to sit at the tablet for a very long time.

Join and complete the whole game to the end! Compete with your friends to see who has reached the furthest and show off your team.
