Austin Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Got my cart in the mail today! Really wasn't expecting it to arrive because the seller never marked the item as shipped, haha. Anyway, had a moment to play a few games. It seems one of the best things you can do in this game (asides from being extremely careful) is staying near the top of the screen. 187,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm about to officially give up on increasing my score on this one...it's just too demoralizing when you're having the game of your life when everything goes down the tubes in moments. I'm sure skill would help things, though. ...and I see that nobody has yet EARNED MY RESPECT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm usually ending up working 60 hours a week in the Emergency room then the rest is helping my wife get her gallery off the ground.

atarilovesyou Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oh, and my Trip mode score: 117,290 ...I thought I paid off that mailman, dammit! Well, before you EARN MY RESPECT, I gotta see if I have it in me to top this score, although....I just don't think I got it in me, lol! I MUST GO NOW, for a last gasp attempt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I could have gone longer on the Trip mode, but I made a risky (and unneccesary) move that got me killed. As far as the normal game, what I find makes it so difficult is that you don't get *any* extra lives. You really have to be on-point and focused! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Here's my final answer, Bob: 392,050 I was in a pretty good groove this game, all the right bounces but most importantly I managed about three or four perfect bonus rounds. That's gotta be the key, those bonus rounds. Fun little game for sure, you always feel that if the stars align (no pun) you could beat your best.

atarilovesyou Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Oh, and my Trip mode score: 117,290 And now, ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues and brothers of different mothers, AUSTIN has EARNED MY RESPECT! Nice score, my friend. I tried, oh how I tried but I could not stomach even another minute of that trip without going bat-shit crazy. Who knows?...perhaps OTHERS, at one point or another, shall EARN MY RESPECT! But for now, it's AUSTIN! WHO! HAS! EARNED! MY! RESPECT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 LOL!! Thanks man. Trip mode is tricky. Because the screen is constantly scrolling, sometimes it feels like you don't move fast enough to keep up with it, haha. As far as the normal game itself, I found it to be really fun. Actually, so much so, I want to look into the other "Black Box" games that I haven't tried before. I can picture this one getting a little repetitive over time, but for just a few day stint, it was great. I think I like it even more than Joust (not that I played that one much to begin with).

AlexKIDD Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I know this round is over but I've been playing Balloon Fight and doing pretty well so figured I would post my score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKIDD Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Still been playing this game. I've always wanted to roll it over but still no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
