Kindergarten Guide - Cindy's Storyline

This is a little guide for the Steam title Kindergarten - it's a great little puzzle/logic/interactive story game, costs only £3.99 and will keep you entertained and scratching your head for hours. Many of the puzzles and characters' storylines require strict timing and succession of events - and I recommend you try your hardest to figure out the puzzles on your own before consulting my guide below.

With that being said, if you're pulling your hair out - here's the guide. Obviously, it contains SPOILERS.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Before school starts:

• Withdraw over $3.00 from your piggy bank so Buggs will steal from you. You only need a minimum of 75c and a maximum of $2.00 to complete this storyline - I withdrew $3.10.

Playground:

• Buggs will try to steal your money - accept his threat and give him half.

• Speak to Ms. Applegate and tell on Buggs. She will encourage you to start a fight with him then call for her help once he starts beating you up. Do as you're told and Buggs will be expelled. (This is important, as he is an obstacle at the very end of the storyline.)

• Speak to Cindy and agree to be her boyfriend. Be polite to her and agree to put gum in Lily's hair during morning time.

Morning time:

• Do as Cindy asked and put the gum in Lily's hair

• Cindy will then want to play house with you - but if you fought with Buggs, only after you have been to the bathroom and washed your face. Interact with the classroom door, get the bathroom pass, speak to the hall monitor and enter the bathroom. Interact with the sink to wash off the blood.

• Return to the classroom and play house with Cindy. This game has multiple paths to follow, some which result in death, some require or reward items. In general, just be a subservient husband and say "yes dear" and never argue with Cindy, or else. If you admit to being drunk, you will have to pay $1.00 to continue - if you deny it, you will receive the breathalyzer item.

Lunch:

• Get some food - this can either be food purchased from Monty, free slop from the Lunch Lady, a "biscut ball" from the Janitor or the friendship nugget that Nugget gives to you. Talk to Cindy and eat your food.

• Cindy will then ask for some "vegan" food. You can either give her the 75c salad purchased from Monty or a $1.00 "biscut ball" purchased from the Janitor.

• Go to the Janitor's closet and pick up the bucket of blood. Do not try to pick up other items if the bell has rang, or else the Janitor will catch you. Keep an eye on your apples!

Recess:

• Show Cindy the bucket of blood and agree to dump it over Lily.

Show & Tell:

• Show Cindy's flower to the class. (If you haven't gotten rid of Buggs, he will beat you to death for being 'whipped,' and you won't be able to complete Cindy's storyline.)

Cindy's storyline complete!

Review: The Grossery Game

Today I’m taking a look at The Grossery Game - a free-to-play app available to download from the Google Play Store. The Grossery Game is based on the series of blind bag collectible figurines from Moose Toys - The Grossery Gang. If you’re unfamiliar, they’re little rubbery toys of everyday grocery store items - but massively past their use-by date! They’re often covered in mould, slime, maggots and flies - and are proving popular with thousands of kids and toy collectors alike - myself included.

The Grossery Game is ideal for fans of the figurines, particularly children with a gross sense of humour. The game itself is actually several mini-games based in hub world known as the Yucky Mart - a convenience, or some might say, an inconvenience store where The Grossery Gang live. The main Grosseries who host the various mini-games are Putrid Pizza, Sticky Soda, Dodgy Doughnut, Rotten Egg and Shoccoli.

As you earn high scores in the mini-games, you will earn coins - which you can trade in for mystery milk crates - each either containing a virtual Grossery Gang figurine or more coins. Your virtual collection can all be viewed in the form of 3D postcards and can be dragged and dropped to create dioramas. You can also place them in the real world and add them to photos taken with your smartphone’s camera. There is also a game called Cruddy Crunch - which is essentially an augmented reality mini-game - which involves either pointing your phone’s camera at packaging from Grossery Gang figures, or printing out a target.

So, let’s take an in-depth look at each mini-game. 

Firstly, we have the Mucky Maze. This clever little game employs the use of your smartphone’s GPS sensor to detect movement. The object of the game is to roll Rotten Egg around on a greasy baking tray while collecting coins and avoiding obstacles. To control him, you simply tilt your device from side to side to roll him in the desired direction - it works remarkably well and is pretty addictive for such a simple concept.

Next is Maggot Mash. You are faced with a mucky microwave, covered with congealed nacho cheese and absolutely crawling with maggots and flies. You're on a timer to see how many slimy maggots you can splat and squish with your finger! Once you have squished around 50 or so, you can turn on the microwave and zap the on-screen critters to quickly clear the screen.

Next we have Goo Shoot. This is my favourite of the mini-games, and in my opinion, the easiest one to quickly earn coins on. You use a catapult, assisted by Lame Licorice to fire blobs of goo at the green, black and yellow soap bubbles that are rising from a scummy mop bucket below. Hitting combos increases your score multiplier - and if you aim carefully, you can quickly earn a lot of points!

And finally is Sludgie Slurp. In this mini game, you control 3 Grosseries who are standing underneath the Mushy Slushy machine, in hopes of grabbing a drink. Drops of slushy will drip from the machine, and it’s up to you to tap each Grossery to make them jump up with their mouths open - and if you time it incorrectly, they’ll end up with a bunch of gross goo dropped on their heads!

As I previously mentioned, The Grossery Game is free-to-play, but like many free-to-play games, there is the option to spend real-world currency to purchase milk crates to quickly fill up your collection - but is isn’t necessary to fully enjoy the game. There is also the option to watch advertisements, usually for other apps, to double the coins you have won. However as it is a children’s game - the app will prompt the player to “ask a grown-up” before an advertisement is played. The app is also easy to understand for children, as instead of long winded instructions, each mini-game is explained simply with easy to understand diagrams.

As a fan of The Grossery Gang myself, I can wholeheartedly recommend The Grossery Game to other fans and particularly recommend it to those who may not be able to find the figurines easily for sale in their country, or may not be able to afford to buy them on a regular basis - as the game does a reasonable job of replicating the excitement of opening mystery milk crates and filling up your collection.
