hello!! This game confused the hell out of me when I first started playing - I'm terrible at waffling so will put the main things about the game in bullet points to keep it short

- your balloon is constantly travelling even when you are asleep and your PC is off

- You get the chance every day to get "buddy boosts" it says you get 5, so when you ask for a boost it is worth the person doing all 5 of them as you arn't credited with the air until all 5 have been pressed. This then gives you 100% air in your canister. This is reset at moidnight when you can ask for more.

- While you are travelling around you collect more air, which accumulates slowly or you can be lucky and steer yourself to a site with a canister on

- you can get to a max of 200% in your can

- it's worth saving it a bit as there doesn't seem to be much around, this is useful if you need to get to a rainbow quickly

- click on the "your balloon" bit to see what site you are on and then use this and the view race map to see which out of the next 2 sites coming up are your best bet to head for (ie the one with any goodies)

Ok, someone else has probably typed out a much better and shorter explanation while I've been typing that!!

Any more questions just ask!!!

:T:T:T A great post thanks so much Luc. You explained it very well. I wish I had known this 3 days ago and I'd probably be a lot further on by now. The "How to play" on the site doesn't really tell you much about the game.

I only found the "race map" earlier today by accident when I hovered my mouse over one of the sites and the menu popped out with race map link on! :rolleyes:

Phew.... being playing most the day. I am now about 450th and am still about 400 miles behind leader. Think I should give up before I lose all my marbles. How is everyone else doing?

No don't give up!!! I think alot of us have given up of leading as I'm sure the leader has some kind of either cheat or been super lucky with rainbows, also as someone mentioned they must have a couple of peopl eworkin gon it in shifts!!

The person in 2nd is over 100 miles behind, but it's still worth entering to see what you can get with the dailies!!

Good luck xxxxxxxxx

It did take me a good day to get used to it, so don't worry!!!!

Wombat has put up some other helpful points aswell, I think we know so much because we've been playing for faaaaaaaaaarrrrrr too long!!! :rotfl:

I've also just noticed that now when you click on to look to see what 2 sites are next (and then look to see if there are any goodies on the map) they do actually have small pictures of a rainbow or boost (havn't seen a star one yet) so it saves looking on the map, waiting for that darn long balloon to pop and then going backwards and forwards. I guess they are working on little bits on the site all the time.

Anyone else notice that??? or has it actually been there all along and I am going nuts *more likely*

EDIT : yes it does do it for stars aswell, just seen one!!

I seriously am I'm sure!!!!! Especially with 2 kids on their worst imaginable behaviour aswell, my head is about to explode!!!

I find it is really good playing it at the same time as doing ITV comps, helps pass the time away (I'm not as good as Toni at multitasking and doing all comps etc while this is still on) At least if I get nowt out of this I'll be in with a chance for ITV!!!

Right off out to the school fair for a little bit, will leave my balloon under the watchful eye of my OH!!!!

Good luck everyone!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to post another tip. If you are on the screen with the race map on it, remember to refresh your screen now and then because rainbows, stars and cannisters can pop up anywhere. If you regularly refresh you have the chance to steer your balloon towards them as they seem to pop up right in front of you, or annoyingly right behind you. This doesnt work, however if you are actually looking at your balloon floating across the page. You need to go to the race map, see where you are and then hit refresh periodically.

Hope this helps.

Good luck all!!

I wondered has anyone heard anything yet about the daily prizes? Just curious as my star total hasnt gone down and I dont think I stand a chance of the big prize but thought maybe worth doing for the daily prizes.
