Viva Progress

I've made considerable progress in Viva Piñata in the last couple of days.  I've made it from level 22 to level 33.  My main focus has been dealing with sour piñatas and attempting to tame them.  Some of these, like the mallowolf and the bonboon are real pains in the ass -- and the path you have to take to taming them is complex.

Still, it will be nice when I don't have to worry about these guys, though I may have many more iterations of sours to deal with between level 33 and level 50.  A great part of this game is the discovery process.

I opened a mine in the corner of my garden and besides some random seeds, I've gotten 2 seeds for gem trees (anyone know how to fertilize these -- I can't seem to get bonus growth out of them) and I've gotten an egg of some sort.  When I highlight the egg as if to sell it, it just says "none" for description and value.  I thought I could get a cluckles to sit on it and hatch it, but that didn't work.

Also, at one of my recent level upgrades, I was awarded the game credits.  Normally, I'd say "who cares?"  But these are quite good.  I quit watching them after about a minute because they were showing piñatas that I'd not yet gotten too and I wanted to save the surprise for "in game".
