@themcnoisy I actually think the secret path minigame is ridiculously good. Especially because everyone is hoarding. The goal of the game is to stay in the front, but never take the initiative, which means constantly fighting for your head in the pack and pushing others of.

Fruit memorisation and the 'stay on the rolling cyldiner' are both great, but they're way too easy to be interesting. They should go way faster so people actually have to put in an effort to survive.

I really dislike the egg game, in which the winner feels so random everytime. And I actually like tail tag, but it could be just the fact that it's a game that I'm good at.

Hexagon floor, the rising lava and three team boulder push are where the game shines the most if you ask me.

And I agree that the game will only be succesful in the long run, if the devs manage to keep adding new levels, and stay creative. But most of all I think it needs new modes. A duo/trio mode in which a duo/trio wins would really help the game.

(Also some quality of life improvements: during a race, tell me in what place I am during the race. Another one: make it so that I can easily distinguish 'good' players. For instance, if they won their last show: they should wear the crown during their next show. And if they won the last round in a game, they should have something above their head too, indicating 'watch out for this player'. That would really add to the engagement. Now I'm just constantly battling wolves, of who I have know idea if they are the same wolf that won last game.)

Good games last night, guys, cheers!
Finally won a game this morning. I got Hexagon floor rather than ending on the grab the crown race. Hexagon is definitely my favourite endgame I've decided, lol.

@Kidfried
I enjoy secret path as well, definitely one of my favourites. Feels a lot more psychological than the other game types.

Secret Path was fun the one time I tried it out. Everyone was at the front one or two squares trying to push everyone else on to an untested square.

@LieutenantFatman I got second in Hex-a-gone the other day, closest I've come to a crown so far. It was agonisingly close!

@Thrillho hahahaha. I felt like that last night playing tail tag. Damn tail tag, every single time I'm in the final round.

Just got back home and downloaded it, servers appear to be down at the moment but will be playing a lot tonight if they are up later

I haven’t won yet but I’ve got to the final round a few times. I quite like Tail Tag to be honest, the hoops one is way worse imo.

@Throb I will have an online game on Monday or Tuesday night. Will let you know!

@nessisonett
I think Hoops might be the only round I've yet to play. Kept trying to play earlier but they're sorting out the servers.

@nessisonett hoops is okay. I've come round to enjoying most of the games now, no need to be agitated when a ton of luck is involved which I did initially. With hoops I just loiter near the big ramp at the end and when it's empty make my way to the ramp in the centre. You are reliant on favourable rng though.

I've also learnt some strategies for the football hoarding game which I didn't enjoy. Stand in an opposing area on the first raised platform batting the ball away hopefully to my zone and face my own area when possible (the opposite of how you play football).

Last night my team won the fall ball game 17-0 (which I've videod) and we had 5 players against 6. Again I've got a strat for batting the ball away, that's all you can learn as well as not ball chasing and covering space behind. Two of my team mates could bat as well and the other team didn't have the timing. We absolutely mullered them.

When I say luck, there are loads of examples - if you start on the back row during races you are unlikely to finish first, not only do you have that gap to make up - but the bodies pile up ahead of you which causes physics issues.

Anyone who knows the level up ahead will shoot off into the distance. I've won 7 or 8 races now and usually that's come from a breakaway at the start and Lewis Hamilton my way to the end. See saw and whirly gig are easy up ahead. An absolute nightmare when you are in mid table. But again on both these levels you have a good chance of a comeback from an early mistake as things go south for the vast majority.

@themcnoisy Seesaw’s one of the few I’ve won outright by a mile, if you have a lead it’s so easy to keep it.

So are people actually getting in to games on this? I've not got in to one single game since this afternoon! It's like Driveclub all over again... Did they not think to beef up connections with a free game that will be popular?

@Throb
The servers have been offline all day unfortunately. Hopefully they're working again tomorrow.

I've ended up playing a fair bit of this today; who cares about the sun?

God, I hate tiptoe. I always seem to get screwed over on that one.. Perfect match is also a bit rubbish as no-one seems to get knocked out (it's also much easier once you realise you can't walk off the edge of tiles).

The seesaw level is a funny one as if you get ahead it's quite easy to win the round. I managed to do it and won by a massive amount so I did a random emote before finishing; I didn't realise there was a trophy for that There does also seem to be a bug for the first checkpoint on that game which you can see below as well.

I've made a handful of final rounds without success. I thought I had one but apparently the guy behind me got the crown??

I did finally get a game of hexagone in the final round though and..

@Thrillho
Congrats dude! I lost my first game of Tiptoe this morning. Everyone squeezing together on a small tile and people getting pushed everywhere. I was pushed off just before the end of the round, boooo.

The next round was hexagon of course, I was gutted. I'd made the final several times earlier, and it was always race for the crown. Typical! I'm always just behind the leader on that one.

Really loving this so far now that I'm able to get into games. I can't see me ever getting bored of it tbh. Especially if they continue to add new mini games over time and run various different events and competitions

I must've been completely sleeping on this as I didn't even know what it was til early last week.

I've got to the final round a few times, and twice was just beaten to the crown. I'll get it one day!

I still haven’t won, I seem to only get the race to the crown one. I’m really bad at that!

Got my first win after coming so close half a dozen times!

Such a great game.

@nessisonett
Yeah, I get that about 80% of the time, and I've yet to win on that one. I fall over at the slightest thing on it as well. And once you lose the lead, the odds are not great.

@Arugula
I love that round, great game to finish on.
