That's such a shame considering the goldmine of lore/character development you can unearth from all these characters and teams. I wish they'd pay all of us to write the blurbs for them.  Anyhoo, we've got some new AC items courtesy of the Altador Cup Enthusiast Gram. Overall the items are pretty good for when you're trying to build an AC custom but want to scale back on the team stuff, and you can use some of them for other customs, like the Light Up Toy Souvenir which really doesn't look AC-related at all but would go well with a number of other looks. It probably shows that I don't go to a lot of sport events since I'm looking at it and I'm like, "why would they be selling plastic wand toys at big ol' sport stadiums, do these have the same purpose as cellphones and lighters and you wave them about?" I got the Game Essentials Tote Bag, may buy one or two more items later on, we'll see. |

Oh, NO.The games are weird.  ShoSho's goalie movement is now random, making it hard or impossible to get into a rhythm. YYB has different power-ups and the dash is highly unresponsive. SS is also unresponsive, sometimes totally ignoring keypresses. MSN seems mostly unchanged except it's easier. I try not to let this stuff get to me these days but wow, downgrading the feel and mechanics of the AC games is a huge misstep. Getting good, playable ports on these four specific games should have been an absolute top priority. |

YYB: Couldn’t get past the title screen at all LOL. Refreshing didn’t help so I gave up.
SS: Keyboard was slower and laggy so I used the mouse since it’s quicker. I found out if you double-click to get drinks, it will almost instantly give it to you, but this must be unintentional when they converted the game. If you click too fast between aisles, you will either be stuck or automatically move down on accident. If you’re holding a drink and switch aisles, it might accidently send it. If you’re using a mouse, take it slow.
SOSD: Goalie animation is different and will randomly change speed. Keyboard was horrible for me but using the mouse was actually way better, got better scores. Easy way to win goals is to charge up and rub back and forth before sending it.
MSN: Pretty much the same but somehow got 0% accuracy everytime, must be a bug.
Overall, I don’t like the newly converted AC games and it was kind painful for me to play. It’s gonna be difficult for people to perform especially when earning high scores is practically impossible now. Hopefully they will optimize them better!

I'll give the AC the same amount of effort I usually do: almost none

I don't even play during practice week, so I'll just wait till the issues are addressed before doing the thing.
I will do this for the trophy and ~fabulous prizes~ never mind that I never get enough points to afford the truly fabulous prizes. (I'M JUST HERE TO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS AND HAVE FRIENDLY COMPETITION UWU)

Well, they've made a thread addressing current bugs and their intention to hopefully get these things sorted by the 7th. Doesn't address the fact that they basically ruined ShoSho, but maybe the games will at least work? They mention they're working with third-party developers, which isn't too much of a shock, but what gets me is how easy it would have been to find third-party developers who could remake simple games like these, quickly and well, in like... game maker studio. The gamedev scene is full of talented hopefuls who are getting lost in the shuffle and would LOVE something on their portfolio, literally just spend an evening recruiting from itch.io or whatever. EDIT: Somebody suggested that in ShoSho, you get into the corner and then aim at the center. This works MUCH better, not 100% but is much closer to the old method. I might be able to work with that. |

My quick thoughts:
YOOYUBALL:
* Takes minute to load. (TNT knows issue)
* Steal Dash doesn't work well. This is a problem as it means can't steal dash the ball at start of each round.
* But that's alright since the computer isn't as eager to get the ball as you are. Can just run up, run down, and head to their goal without challenge. They'll sometimes chase you but eventually give up.
* BTW the steal dash works fine for the computer...
* Can't go to bottom corner and toss up as the ball hits the wall so bounces up and down...
* Auto player switching still annoying.
* Timer freezes after scoring a goal instead of decreasing by 8 seconds. This means each game will now take 3+ minutes to play (with the more goals you score the longer it'll take).
* Even after scoring a goal your teammates can still activate power-ups, wasting them.
* Clock/Slow Down power-up also makes your players slow, it's annoying (and unneeded as we have the Freeze). Want a new Power-up Idea: Shield (Puts two shields on each side of your goalie to make it harder for computer to score on them)
* Darigan Yooyu still annoying, please just make it shoot in the opposite direction like it originally did.
* Strange graphic glitches sometimes when showing goal picture.
SLUSHIE SLINGER:
* Inputs being eaten. (TNT knows issue)
* When there's a lot of customers on screen gets really laggy.
* Didn't feel like it was speeding up.
* Store wasn't the color of my team (Meridell; red & blue), it was set to Altador's colors (yellow & orange).
MAKE SOME NOISE:
* Accuracy Counter not working. (TNT knows issue)
* When I hit a bonus letter doesn't tell me if I got it or not, but the ones you do get still are counted at the end.
MAKE SOME NOISE:
* Goalie going at random speeds is annoying, if you weren't going to change how it plays please change the goalie's movements back to how it was.

If you're having trouble getting Yooyu Ball to even work, try zooming out. If that doesn't work, zoom out, and also move your mouse pointer about an inch under the button. The button was off for me. Like... WAY off!

YYB won't even load for me but the other three games did. I'm now garbage at SOSD but I managed to get 919 points for Slushie Slinger.

It appears my browser won't support full screen to practice with Yooyuball. Dinked around with some of the other games...

Wow, so now that I can actually get into YYB, it is a glitchy mess.
Do they know that sometimes the scores switch around? They just tried to get a seven goal game to the opposition.

Thankfully that's a display issue - if you send the score, it counts properly.

Looks like some people can play it. YYB is still broken for me.
