Maf Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I won my second game! I can’t take the pressure lol This game is very, very good but the nerves and adrenaline runs so high. It’s still very battle royale in that sense, being a platformer makes it more playable and overall funny, though. It’s pure slapstick craziness. I also love razzing people and grabbing them for no reason and making them freak out. I like this a lot, this is a lot of fun EDIT: 3 games, 2 wins, back to back. Holy shit. Gotta be some crazy beginners luck lol EDIT: Unreal, I got a 3rd win a row! But the servers died and didn’t give me my points! Argh I need to stop playing this it’s too much pressure holy hell I’m gettting headache. 3 wins a row what the fuck. I got video of the win fuck the servers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Here is the video of my 3rd win. I didn’t bother trying to trim it so you can see at the start I have a crown and at the end I get a new crown I don’t care what the servers say I got proof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 30 mins to download (PS4) then .... servers down for maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 This is out on Steam for £16 with another £12 worth of DLC already. It doesn't have crossplay with PS4, it's apparently something they're looking into. I think this will probably need it at some point to maintain a stable player base on PC, as it doesn't have the advantage of being 'free' like the PlayStation version did.

Maf Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 The game’s official Twitter feed is really funny I’d recommend giving a read if you want a quick laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Fair play to @Maf for getting the crowns, when I did play I found the controls to be so imprecise that it was more frustrating than fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby9 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Couldn't get on this yesterday due to the servers but really looking forward to giving this ago later today, looks lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Looks like not being free on PC hasn’t stopped it though. Number one on Steam and has over 11,000 reviews after one day which is basically blockbuster territory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 The game isn’t Mario but I wouldn’t call it imprecise. The jump is not very high and the design of the stages is built to take advantage of that, extra when there’s 40 other idiots all scrambling over the top of you, that’s the fun of it, though. Pure, stupid, intense, idiotic, mayhem. My kind of attitude. I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I felt this was a shitty bit of spin from the devs yesterday https://www.pcgamer.com/getting-a-bunch-of-negative-user-reviews-is-not-automatically-a-review-bomb/ I liked this from the trailer in the PlayStation video the other month, it looks really fun. But since I don't have the option to get it on PS+, I'll probably hold off to see how it pans out on PC in a few months, and how opinion settles on the amount of content in game vs DLC/micro-transaction store.

AndyKurosaki Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 So far I have to agree with Shiny. It’s a nice idea in concept. But I’ve been losing repeatedly, and it’s a ballache. The jump is so shite, and I’ve no idea what you’re meant to do at the end of the Whirlygig. Likewise the seesaws. Sometimes I’d go flying as soon as I jumped, and I’ve no idea why.

Maf Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Haha. The seesaw shit is a nightmare because when you’re in the back there’s no one to balance it back out. For a game about cartoon jellybeans it’s full of real do or die shit. Also I would say that this game is not really about winning (Although it’s nice! ) it’s more about just playing it and enjoying the craziness of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I’ve qualified in the “fake door” game twice, which was a good laugh. But I genuinely don’t get the Whirlygig level at all. I can get close to the end of it, but then I have no idea what I’m supposed to do to reach the finish line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Is Whirlygig the one in my video with the propellers? If so you can see me get slammed a lot but I get to the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby9 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I've got to the final round a few times now but not managed a win. I've just been enjoying this, most of the games are fun & short enough so it doesn't really matter if you're eliminated. I'm not a fan of the team games as much, especially the egg one been beaten badly a couple of times on that one. Overall though I'm having a great time on it.

shinymcshine Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 From the Gamecentral review (7/10): "To be honest, the jump button isn’t very reliable and it’s not clear whether that’s a mechanical flaw with the controls or just because you’re playing as a giant walking bean and you’re not very steady on your feet." I feel less of a loser now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel less of a loser now. Yeah I do think they have made it deliberately this way. It can be a bit annoying, I really notice it on Slime Climb, I haven't managed to finish that one yet.

DisturbedSwan Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Played a bit of this last night and this morning before work. I like it, but I don't think it's got the depth to it that'll keep me coming back to it for very long to be honest. It's a novel concept and often you feel like a contestant on Takeshi's Castle or something but I'm just not sure it's satisfying enough to keep me coming back time and time again for more. It doesn't help that your chance of winning seems so incredibly slim, if I was coming close to winning matches then it might inspire me to keep trying to get the Crown but as it is I've only got to the final round once and lost out on the big prize. As for the controls etc. I think it's just part and parcel of this kind of game that the controls will be a bit loose. It's a silly, fun little game and has controls that suit its aesthetic and design. But yeah, I've enjoyed my time with it but within a week or two I probably will of completely dropped it to be honest. A very nice little addition to PS+ though and very glad for the devs that it has been a success so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 My favourite game is the one with the fake floor tiles. Where everyone is crowded on one tile trying to push someone on to another one to see if it’s fake. And when they go falling it’s funny but when it turns out they’re on a safe one everyone pushes their way on to the tile as well knocking other people off. That game is full of suspense interspersed with brief flashes of “Go, go, go!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I’ve managed to get to the third round a few times now, this can be quite fun for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
