Today just isn't my day for winning. Out in the first or second round more often than not (including a first ever loss on the fruit match game), could not catch a tail to save my life, see-saws were always against me. I did make it to few finals; on Fall Mountain it seemed like I hit every obstacle possible, and on Hex-a-gone I ended up on the bottom level so quickly that by the time most others got there, they fell straight through the giant holes I had made. The actual winner I think was still several layers up when I ran out of tiles. The worst game today? Fall Ball. I was on the yellow team. The blue team made it to double figures. You know that great feeling when you hit a new ball as it's falling and see it sail into the goal? You know how much better it feels when you do it twice in a row? You know that "oh, crap" feeling when you suddenly notice that after falling in a hole you got put on the wrong side of the pitch, facing the opposite way? whoops. I’ve had the worst luck with Fall Ball. I think my record at this point is probably something like 2-7. Although the one time I got on a dominant team, it felt like magic.

Yesterday at one point, it felt like my team was just being overwhelmed. Then I stepped back and looked to count the players and we had 5 players and the other team had like 7 or 8. I also am positive that if I ever actually do win a show, I'm going to quit the game and never play again.

aaaand there's hackers on the PC version. Was in the final 3 on Hex A Gone, and then when I drop I go to spectate the final 2 and theyre just jumping on thin air. Game lasts another 5 minutes of these two hopping on nothing before it arbitrarily gives one a crown. Enjoy accomplishing nothing.
Oh, and annoyingly there isn't a report hackers function yet.

Funnily enough, this Twitter thread popped up not long ago...

That would make the memory game less boring at least

Gotten Hex-A-Gone 3 straight times as the final game. I suck at it and am very much over it.

I usually hate Fall Ball, but I just had it and scored all five of my team’s goals to put us in the finals, and I felt unreasonably smug.

Learned about this game yesterday and immediately got it. I loved Takeshis Castle back in the day and this feels like a spiritual successor.
I'm absolutely crap but it's so much fun!

So, last night I spectate a game after getting knocked out on round one as usual, but the person I was watching had possibly the most perfect run at fall mountain I've ever seen

I zigged when I should have zagged aka I didn't go my usual route at the spinny things at the end and it cost me.
So what's everyone's "that one game" right now? Mine is Fruit Chute, I can't remember the last time I got through that.

Last few days I played were pretty rough. Started losing in the first or second round in games I usually do really well. Including getting eliminated during door dash for the first time ever. I was doing so poorly that I just had to quit for awhile...and lo and behold I finally win my first crown yesterday! Man what a feeling . I make Fall Mountain the next go round and proceed to get knocked down but seemingly every ball and end up dead last lol

Mine is Fruit Chute, I can't remember the last time I got through that. It used to be Slime Climb for me. I was into the 20s level-wise before I was able to finish it for the first time. Every since I got over that hump, it’s one of my favorites considering it usually knocks out a lot of the field. Fruit Chute can be a real bitch. Really the best advice for that one that I’ve found is to just stick to the sides and try to use the pink things as shields when necessary.

Fall Ball is the worst, my team always loses and usually by 8 goals or more! Still only ever won one crown,came close twice but nope. People seem to be getting better which is cool as its more challenging but the team games can go to hell. Straight to hell.

I just experienced absolute heartbreak. I'm having my best run on Fall Mountain. I avoid every ball flying at me, I get around the hammers, I see the crown right there. Just one other guy in front of me. I try to grab him to throw him off rhythm to make my jump....and I miss. I just melted out of my chair and sat on my floor and let the agony in. The closest I've ever been to winning and I blow it. This was basically me.

I hate that I have to be in kissing distance to grab a tail while others can be a good 1-2 feet away from me and can grab my tail from there.

I hate that I have to be in kissing distance to grab a tail while others can be a good 1-2 feet away from me and can grab my tail from there. I can't remember the exact term, I think it's like sync drag or something like that, but it seems that way because the images won't be in perfect sync across the board. So while it seems like others are far away from you and can grab your tail, they actually are closer on their screen. So if we were in the same game, if you were looking at your screen it would look like my character is way behind yours. But if we're looking at my screen, I would actually be right behind you. It's a lot more technical, but that's the short version. I finally won a game the other day. I literally jumped out of my chair and danced. I've won a second time too. I've found that winning actually eases the agony of the losses. Now if I lose in a final, I just accept it.
