The game having instructions would of been nice.
I eventually figured it out, but the game is kinda lame tbh.
Your pretty much tied to your chance of winning depending on the colour n direction of the blocks, and even if you stack 4, you do it the wrong way it adds it as a kill block thing. which kinda sucks.
So cool he's trying some skew on the old Tetris formula but he's no Pajitnov, and lame game is lame. #timewaster
@deanbmmv: There are instructions if you look up and see the "How to Play" button.
And what kill blocks are referring to? The rainbow blocks, or the black ones with skulls? Cause the black ones you only get if you miss the board, and the rainbow are nothing but beneficial. #timewaster
@Proximity: Ah, I see the how to play now. When the page loads it loads the game up, so the how to play gets crammed off the top of the screen.
And yeah, I mean the skull ones. It's a bit annoying that they get randomly placed on the board.
And your first block is pre-determined, cos theres only one place you can put it.
Its a good idea, but needs a fair bit of playability tweaking before its a workable game. #timewaster
That kinda sucks. Everyone knows the real Balloon Boy game consists of one main game supported by mini games.
The main game is rather like a text adventure/dating sim game, where you play as the parents planning the hoax after their recent stint on Wife Swap. Then you get to play the mini games; in 'Pretend to hide' you play as Falcon sitting in his room while his parents fail to prepare him for the media and 'Balloon Blow' where you control wind currents keeping the balloon afloat. As well as many more! Back in the main game you finally get to appear on TV and try to keep Falcon from blurting out the truth.
@Heartless141, dood!: Lol @ that video, love collage humor especially their POVs.
I read somewhere that a director or writer was joking about making a movie but you know Hollywood they'll make almost anything into a movie even if it pisses off fans of the original source , I'm looking at you RE and DB movies. #timewasters
Imagine if, instead of making a flash-based game based on whatever retarded story the media is fawning over at the time, the people spent those few hours working on a cure for cancer or hemorrhoids.
That would suck, we'd have nothing to do during work. #timewasters
@BryanH: The people who discover the cure for cancer will get less air-time than the kid who sat in an attic for a bit while the news stations chased a balloon. #timewasters
@Go Go Gadget: Guttah Trash!: The fact that they're getting the 15 minutes is ridiculous. Give people publicity to ask them whether what they're doing is a publicity stunt. Bravo, CNN. Bravo. #timewasters

That part is almost impossible.

It's almost as fast as Bush (and the shoe-dodging flash game) when he dodged those shoes! #timewasters
