It can be an excellent source of shells if you do well.

This island allows you to spend your tokens to play the match-3 minigame. Get far enough in the game and you'll unlock a second island on which to extend your village. Also, scientists tell us that most endless runners are boring as crap. It's not unplayable, but the hardware can do so much better. The game runs at a low frame rate on my Lumia 1520. Gameloft uses the same 3D engine in all of its Windows Phone 8 games, and that engine is fairly poor. The Scrat runner mostly pays out in berries, although you can also get a few items needed to unlock new areas if you survive long enough. They enable bonuses like a berry magnet, a one-time shield, and the ability to destroy obstacles for a short time. Rescuing certain animals will cause those creatures to randomly spawn as power-ups within the Scrat game. It actually goes on forever or until you die, which is really easy to do. Instead of Sid, this version stars Scrat the Masochistic Squirrel. It might take quite a few visits to get that item you're looking for, to the point that it delays progress in the game.īack in the village, you can play an endless running minigame using tokens that you dig up from snow piles or receive from friends. This gets annoying when the building has an animal or item you need, because some of them have very low and unfair drop rates. You can revisit buildings to try for better prizes, but they take anywhere from ten minutes to several hours to become active again. Simply tap a building and its roulette wheel will spin and then pop out the item. The berry costs get a lot higher as you reach new islands, limiting players' ability to zoom through the game.Įach island also hosts several buildings from which you can earn various prizes, including animals, berries, shells, items, and on rare occasions, acorns (premium currency). Getting rid of stuff consumes berries, which function as energy in Ice Age Adventures. Tap one of these objects and one of your three heroes will clear it out of the way (some take two taps), gaining shells (soft currency) as a reward. When you reach one of these places, you'll find a variety of obstacles to clear, including trees, rocks, ice, enemies, mushrooms, and more.
