Sweet. I enjoyed the first Worldbuilder. I do so hope there's more Lego Duck Action this time.

If you look at the bottom of the screen in Worldbuilder 2, there's a banner ad directing you to try Worldbuilder 1 which has a tutorial.

OK, the lion kept killing my robots, so I decided to try Worldbuilder 1. Now I get a Mission 3 that's totally impossible: a buggy which won't cross rocky terrain stranded on a grassy field surrounded by rocky terrain and empty sky. I tried looking for "invisible" terrain ala Mario or Zelda, and that didn't work. Anyone?

Marla: try building something new.

OK, I figured it out -- I thought you had to have the buggy next to the pile of yellow bricks in order to build the dirtbuggy. You don't. Too easy. Sigh.

...and my hopes for Lego Duck are totally and completely fulfilled. Hooray for the duck! For those of you who don't want to start by trying WB1, the basics are: -Exclamation point marks your goal: Build/bring X here. -Vehicles can move over different terrain: Duck can walk and swim, buggy can't cross rough ground, etc. Click on vehicle and get info to see what its rules are. -Some vehicles can carry bricks or perform other important actions (move rocks, uproot tree, dig/fill in land, etc.) Check lower right corner for the move or action options. -Plans to build X are scattered about. Send your vehicles to look for them and pick them up. With every new plan, you can build a certain number of vehicles. -Vehicles can be built using bricks, but require a battery. If your battery dies, you can disassemble the vehicle to free up more bricks. -Enemies (crab, 'gator, lion, etc.) can kill your vehicles and drain the batteries. Only specific vehicles can fight back. Killing an enemy turns it into bricks and a battery. -After you reach the goal, you can go for an optional bonus goal. A star will show up elsewhere on the map; this is your new goal. Some hints are to remember that you can move bricks by turning them into a vehicle, moving it, then disassembling it. Also look for spots in which a vehicle can be placed on the other side of an obstacle as it is built. Defenders work better if you gang up on your enemies. Disassemble if you are about to be attacked, as a wasted build plan can sometimes be better than a dead battery due to attack.
