I've been disconnected from server 5 times out of 7 games so it's looking very unfortunate out here in these streets of what is otherwise a very fun game. About to recruit my friends so we can all scream at each other worst part of a disconnect is you dont get your EXP

This loving game. If you quit you get your stuff up until then. If you get disconnected from the server right before the last game you can go gently caress yourself. Guess I'll try again in a few hours.

Team games are going to kill this game. It is intrinsically not a team game. I hope people are telling the devs this, or they have plans to release a mode where you can exclude team games. This will drive many away. The game is random enough. Also there is some poor design; like in the case of the soccer-style game, once you figure out how to arc a shot, they literally cannot be blocked. You'll get matches where people just stand under the spawn and launch goal after goal, after goal, after goal, after goal. You can't jump high enough to cover like 80% of the goal. I also have criticism for how if you don't exit out of a game immediately after you lose, the option disappears until the beginning of the next event starts. This can take a while. This game has a ton of fun moments but some of the design decisions really leave me at a loss. The loose and chaotic gameplay should certainly have a random element to it, but not so random that it feels like nothing you could have done would have impacted the outcome. Team games are a miss. edit: Hey, shout out to the see-saw level, where if you pick the wrong path you can literally get stuck waiting for 30+ seconds unless you intentionally kill yourself and get routed in the other direction. That is some terrific game design. Jelly fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Aug 7, 2020 |

Weirdly the build I played at PAX felt way better for egg scramble than this version. Getting in and out of the nest seemed a lot easier and made it feel more of a back and forth, though that might just be rose colored glasses. The soccer one brings back every bad memory of rocket league I've ever had and I hope they make it so it only spawns the footballs and eggs. If they want it to be wacky and random like the rest of them the spawn rate on the weird shaped balls should be way higher, my friend thought they were a myth until like the 6th time he got that game. Overall I'll take all the bad beats in stride once the servers stop collapsing all the time, but if the new levels also have such feel bad rates it might push me away to have so many annoying ones in rotation.

I finally got Fall Balls aaaaaaand I hate it. 10-0 because some blue dudes figured out how to game it by standing under the ball spawn. And gently caress the egg game, I hate the egg game so hard. The grab mechanic needs a lot of work for that to be playable, I can't really tell if I'm supposed to hold the grab button or just tap it, it's so finicky. There's just no feedback for me to learn from here, so I end up just spamming the button pretty much any time grab is necessary. Despite that, it's a hilarious game. I've got a pretty even record on see-saws at this point, I usually figure out early on whether I should spend the effort or just grab people on the low side and bring them to oblivion. Both outcomes make me happy.

2nd to last round was Slime Climb, which was really, really fun. Came in 3rd on that, which eliminated so many people, that there was just myself and 2 other people left in the final round, which was the tail grab level. My blood was pumping so drat hard for the entire round, but the two other people didn't even get close to grabbing the tail. Jumped up out of my chair and fistpumped the air after playing keepaway for the entire round. I love this goofy game. EDIT: I still hate See-Saw.

I really like the game but the servers were an absolute nightmare yesterday. I watched like 5 hours of streams of the game and never saw the players disconnect, but I disconnected every third game. I'll say I don't mind the team games because there's actually some form of tension as to whether or not you'll be eliminated. 90% of the courses I'm not worried about getting eliminated at all. The propeller map my friend and I asked "who the hell actually doesn't get top 50% on this map?" and watched some of the last people to trail in and it's people who just head-dive straight into obstacles and walk straight off ledges. One match we got into was only two maps and then a finale because only thirteen people made it past the very first map which was Slime Climb

I'll be the opposite guy and say that I'm fine with the Team Games (as long as they don't have a repeatable auto-win mechanic like people are finding in the soccer game). You can't win every time. I also think the game needs more "gently caress you" style obstacle courses like the see-saw one. A lot of the obstacle courses have no failure conditions, making it hard to catch up if you miss a jump or start from the back or something like that. I wish there were a bit more randomness involved with the course design to; seems like this would've been a perfect game to take the "roguelike" approach of having a bunch of different building blocks put together for a course to keep things mixed up.

I keep hearing, gently caress egg game, why does it have golden eggs? No you think that's the worst team poo poo? At least you can steal the golden eggs. In that jump through the rings one the golden ring always spawns near the enemy teams when they are already way ahead, that's the real bullshit.

Waterfall Watcher posted:I keep hearing, gently caress egg game, why does it have golden eggs? There's only set locations the rings can spawn, so if you just camp a zone near a couple ring spawns I think that's better than constantly chasing them. I like to hang out near the big ramp at the back of the map, partially on the ramp right near the bottom

You can't win every time. I'd agree with most of this. There are a handful of "gently caress Yous" but a lot of the games, specifically Jump Club, Roll out, and Block Party, have much more room that makes them fairly easy challenges. They'd do well to either release something like a Mario Maker course builder or something that would randomize the course layouts like you suggested. The internet is already aglow with "how to beat every map every time" articles, so they definitely need to start making new content if the game is going to have any legs. Even if they are tiny jellybean legs.

This game is amazing and the egg game is great. The easiest way to win is by focusing on getting 2 golden eggs into your basket and defending the ledges, ensuring they’ll never get out. Some like to continually run into the back wall with a golden egg in hand and it’ll take 2 people minimum to pull it from him. If you want to get fancy, you can jump throw eggs from the center to the arch, for your team to gather. You can also jump throw an egg from the bottom of a basket to just outside, or from the second ledge to a hammer swinging downward. Once people start seeing the benefits of premades, the game will get a lot harder on your own.
