    Are you winning the balloon race?
    Thu, 26 Jun ‘08
    The last couple of days has been amazing in the balloon race project. We've finally got this beast up and running and the response we've got has been fenomenal!

    A few of my friends has become addicted to the game and the work productivity in their offices has dropped by magnitudes. Yay!

    Anyhow, I though I'd share some tips and tricks that could make you a better balloonist in this game:

    Aim for the rainbow transporters. They will make your balloon magically travell around 4 to 6 rows in the game. And you will pick up boost and star tokens as you go. So rainbows is definitly the best mapitem to go for if in doubt.

    Pick up boost. A 100% boost will give you enough power to swish through 3 sites. Also if you have more than 100% boost, and a boost canister is in front of you, always boost into it, since you're not loosing anything.

    Collect Prize Tokens. For every five you collect, your in for a daily draw to get free stuff that will be announced after the game has finished.

    Plan your journey strategically. One good idea is to always have the map open in one browser window, and the race window in another so you always know what coming up ahead. For instance if you have the choise of a star on the current site, but there's a rainbow in the other next site, you might want to give the star a miss and aim for the rainbow site instead.

    Get your friends to help out. When you've got five buddy boosts your boost level goes up 100%. You can only get this once per day. Also, it's a bad idea to get the 5th buddy boost when your boost level is above 100%, since the hard limit of boost is 200%.

    Hope this helps and happy ballooning!


    Why oh why did I not see this before, like on DAY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!!!! it's from a guy who has worked on the race I think!

    It is much easier to see other people's failings than our own.

    He's also made something where you can click and check if it is you that an internet page down or if it is everybody having the problem, address of his blog is
    https://www.bothernomore.com

    it will take you to the race though, so will need to clear that off in order to read it..... weirdly, just opened it in IE, and now my balloon is working in there- 1st time ever!!! so now I have it on FF and IR at the same time, genius!!! :D
