How to Get Dubloons in "Dubloon Disaster"
"Dubloon Disaster" is one of many free games on "Neopets." A player in a boat rows to try to pick up dubloons (the coins used in the game) floating on the surface of the water. Mines and whirlpools can destroy you and your boat, so it is essential to have a strategy in place to deal with them.
Instructions

-
1
Head out across the water and pick up a dubloon.
-
2
Avoid the single homing mine that will appear; for each dubloon you pick up, a new mine will appear, up to a maximum of nine at any one time.

3
Pick up another dubloon and wait for the second mine to appear. Position your boat so the two mines are approaching you from each side. Quickly move out of the way as they speed up and they will move together, making it easier for you to keep an eye on them as you proceed to pick up more dubloons.
-
4
Continue using this process, massing the mines into a single cluster so you can navigate around the screen more easily as you continue to pick up dubloons without fear of hitting a single stray mine.
-
5
Move in the opposite direction of any whirlpool that appears onscreen. If it appears on the left of the screen, go toward the right of the screen until the whirlpool disappears.
-
6
Move to the corner of the screen if there is a dubloon in the middle of a mine field. Wait for the field to move toward you before moving out of the corner; if timed correctly, you can sweep in and collect the dubloon before the mines return.
