This game must seem weird if you've never even played Joust before. But the Grinder usually pulls through and gets a decent score as long as it's not a puzzle game. Don't underestimate Balloon Trip though. It's hard. Bert is either unusually good or this is one of those games that he played a lot as a kid.

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It's also possible that skinny already has a great score and he's bluffing. I don't trust that guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert is either unusually good or this is one of those games that he played a lot as a kid. 200k should be reasonable if you can get a perfect score on the bonus levels. I didn't do anything special point pressing wise and got 241k. I haven't spent enough time on the Balloon Trip mode to see if there's some kind of repetitive pattern or not, but it's really tough to navigate with the controls. 19 minutes ago, mbd39 said: It's also possible that skinny already has a great score and he's bluffing.

There's more of a set pattern that is the same every time for the first 20 balloons in Balloon Trip and then it gets more unpredictable, but there are still patterns.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I finally broke the 500k mark on Balloon Trip after playing for about 2 hours straight, so I'm calling it week. Good luck everybody! Edited November 29, 2019 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps liven up the competition, I did discover later yesterday after posting my score that there's a repeatable bonus available in the Balloon Trip mode (spoiler free hint) which can be a real score booster if you can get it.

I played a bunch of Balloon Trip the other night and couldn't improve my score. Sometimes you get patterns that are really tricky to squeeze through while also trying to pop the balloons. I expect tables to post something ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first bonus can be gotten consistently without too much trouble. It gets harder after that. I keep going for it though. Greed can be a problem.

I'd totally watch. Luckily I'm not technically inclined at all. I would be the most boring streamer ever. Anyone that's watched me play in person can tell you I just sit perfectly still, locked in and totally quiet. Basically the total opposite of @skinnygrinny's Excitebike video where he doesn't hold still and can carry on an entire conversation with himself. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last run took me over a half hour nonstop. I've got Bearcats games this afternoon and tomorrow, so there's no way I'm getting any closer to your score. Great job man!

I've had some Balloon Fight runs where at least I would have had over 240k but I screwed up on the bonus round. That's very annoying when that happens. Oh well there's still plenty of time to keep trying. Edited November 29, 2019 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
