Balloon Trip mode took me hours. It's a nice challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 1,678 Member · Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The main mode is like a more fun version of Joust on the NES. Balloon Trip is like a mobile game and addictive in that respect. Think Flappy Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guillavoie 1,138 Events Team · Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Here's the tournament standing after Round 2 : 1st tablew/chairs 38 2nd bertsampson 36 3rd skinnygrinny 34 4th Richardhead 22 5th 8bitdontquit 18 6th mbd39 18 7th JamesRobot 16 8th SuperJimtendo 10 9th Ausden 8 10th barrels 6 It will be a very tough and cutthroat final round with the defending champion bertsampson standing in second position, only two points shy away from the very stoic and constant competitor tablew/chairs. Let's not forget skinnygrinny, aka 'the third place prince', who's sitting comfortably in his position of predilection, but with every intent to climb those last hurdles and have a shot to win it all this year! The gap is considerable between these hard knuckles and the following gentlemen leaded by former 2016 champion Richardhead in 4th place, but there is still plenty of points to grab on the table (not on chairs though), and we shouldn't disregard the possibility of one of these fellows causing a surprise by grabbing up to 45 points in the final round, which could make a difference in the higher ranks finish. Best of luck to everyone and may the best player wins! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
