Berries and shells

Upgrade your berry bowl and shell bowl to ensure that you will never runs out of berries. Berries are your energy and let you do various actions, such as removing grass and other obstacles. Every obstacle that is cut down will give you shells. When reaching your shell limit, return home and spend them on building or upgrading more homes for your herd.

Play the Scrat-Alanche mini-game. There will be lots of berries that you can collect. Make sure you have enough room to collect at least 150 berries before starting the mini-game so you do not waste any.

Tap on an empty snow angel spot (resembles a light blue bird) to display the decorations list. Each decoration has a berry icon and a percentage. If it has an up arrow on it, that decoration will increase your maximum berry capacity by the listed amount. If it has two arrows pointing to the right, it will speed up berry production. Spend shells to purchase the decorations that are best suited to increase your berries.

Tap on an animal home to check how many berries they make in an hour, and what their maximum limit is. When you upgrade their homes and rescue more animals, berry production and the capacity increases. If you spend shells to feed the animals in a home, their berry production speed increases.

Increase amount of Berry's or Shells when collecting them

This is much slower but will give you double the amount of Shells or make sure no Berry's or Shells go to waste when collecting them:

SLOWLY collecting Berry's from the animal homes. Wait 3-4 second before collecting from another animals home. This will make sure that more Berry's goes to your Berry Bowl.

When obstacles are cleared on the island (rocks, grass, trees, etc.) do the following:

Move Sid, Manny and Diego out of reach of the obstacle.
Click's once on the obstacle, Sid, Manny and Diego will now rush in to collect the Shells.
Immediately click on an empty space away from the obstacle before they reaches it.
After 3-4 second you can click on the remains of the obstacle that you want to remove.
Move Sid, Manny and Diego again out of reach of the next obstacle.
Do the same when Clam shells are opened. Note that Sid must open the Golden Clam shells.

When removing some plants with 'reddish' leaves there will be nothing left where the plant was standing. Just click on the empty space where the plant was standing to get the same amount of Shells as with the first click.

Islands

To get to the next island, explore the current island thoroughly and save everyone. Save berries by clearing the minimum amount of trees, ice and rock. You can return later when you need more shells or other items.

Small mountain landmarks that have an item icon above them will appear on islands. When you tapped, you will get a random prize from a roulette wheel. Sometimes baby animals will be trapped in them. After collecting your reward, the resource node will start a cooldown timer.

When on the map screen, there will be two icons next to the selectable islands (a paw and a torch). The paw displays how many animals still are remaining on the island. The torch shows you what important items are present. Collect all of the animals and items before moving onto the next island. If the final item or animal is locked in a slot machine mini-game, be patient until it appears.

Your progressed is saved on the last two islands that were visited. When you find an island that has several slot machine mini-games you can return there and play them again as many times as desired as long as you have not traveled more than one island away.

Match three mini-game

Play the match-three mini-game to rescue animals. When you combine four pieces together a "wavy" piece will be created, with lines crossing it depending on the direction it was formed. When this piece is matched, it will shoot out a beam in a cross formation that will clear out many tiles.

Combine five pieces to form a meteor. When matched with any other single piece, it will destroy every corresponding piece on the level. If matched it with a wavy piece, you will get more cross explosions. If you manage to match two meteors, the entire board starts to blow up. You will get an additional bonus if you can match three meteorites in a row. Every tile will turn into a heart and the level will automatically be completed.

When you have Ice Blocks, try to match vertically next to the blocks to clear out the maximum amount of ice in one move.

Scrat-Alanche mini-game

Play Scrat-Alanche whenever you have the blue tokens to do so. The distance, and not the number of berries you collect, measures your degree of success. Swipe in various directions to dodge various obstacles so Sid can reach the baby animal. Avoid the berries if they cross over an obstacle. Collect the Aardvark or Rhino power-up to run longer.
