Kinectimals Unleashed: Tips, Tricks, Cheats, and Strategy Guide

Kinectimals Unleashed, AKA “Microsoft Nintendogs”, is the new free to play entry in the Kinectimals franchise, and the first f2p one ever released for Windows and iOS. This one comes with a full assortment of dogs and (later on) tigers that you can adopt and play with, do games with, and even take them on a journey all over the world. Read on for some tips and tricks for Kinectimals Unleashed!

One of the main problems that everyone has with this game so far is the “name issue” where it doesn’t show you the game of the animal, but it tells you that it’s too long no matter what you input. To remedy this, hit the backspace button over and over, at least fifteen to twenty times, and then enter a name in. You still won’t see it but the game will no longer tell you that it’s too long.

There are various minigames and they change with every level. The free play games are the same as the mini games, so always play the free play games first so that you can practice. That way, you can earn the highest amount of coins possible when you do the challenge levels, and earn the gold medals on those levels every time.

If you want more quick coins, aside from doing the challenges and winning, your best bet is to go to the map area and look for the random volcanic island smack in the center. Go there to see if it’s glowing. If it is, tap it and you will earn a whole bunch of free coins. Also, teach your dog tricks on the stage, because these are free to do yet you will earn coins for doing them successfully.

Take part in the pack challenge, which is found somewhere on the map, and you can earn free coins and free gems. This has you play an agility course, and all that you have to do in order to earn your rewards is to participate as often as possible and earn the required amount of points.

You unlock new areas on the map after you collect a specific amount of stars and after you level up. The fastest ways to level up are the free play modes and the challenges on every level except the stage (such as the dock, downtown etc). Make sure to keep your dog fed, give it water, clean it and let it sleep to keep it fresh and happy.
