Superfly Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Get your practice in folks, everyone can now play Shootout Showdown. I'm personally having trouble playing it though, but numerous reports are now coming into The Daily Neopets saying it is working. Try it for yourself. Be sure to tell us what you think of the game, by posting in our comments. Here are a few screen shots, click on an image to view it larger. And be sure to read TDN Shootout Showdown Game Guide too! Thanks to Starkie for the email about this. ;)
Xepha Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I love it. And I found a strategy to score quickly and efficiently.
austin89 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 how? i hate this game This post has been edited by a member of staff (Stephanie~) because of a violation of the forum rules.

Lyndsie Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Well, it's an okay game. But is it like Yooyuball, where I shouldn't send my score yet?
4ftwingspan Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I can play, but i totally suck. The highest I've gotten is 3 goals. What is your strategy? How many np do you get if you win? Not my favorite. :( I always kind of liked make some noise.
Aminbel Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 It's not really working for me. I got 2 balls and then they just dissapeared and the timer ran down. So I dunno, hopefully it's a glitch and it's fixed before it really counts.
Lion Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I only have one question: Is this the newest version of YYB or something? I've seem to confused the two.
Sapphy the Swamp Witch Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Er, we'll still have Yooyuball, right? Because I'm terrible at this game. The most I've scored is one goal!
Jonboy14080405 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I hope we still have Yooyuball. I mean the goalie moves around really fast in that small net! I can't score more than 1 goal! Try shooting for the corners, just don't over power it or hit the front posts..... Now wait until the goalie is on the other side of the goal. Then Shoot!
Mireia Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 If yoyuball is not playing this year, I don't think i'll participate in this Altador Cup. This game is awful! I still can't score more than 2 goals!
ΩCCΩ Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I scored 3 goals on my second try. As they say practice makes perfect.
Xepha Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 NO it doesn't replace Yooyuball. It's just a new mini-game (like Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise). I wrote TDN guide last night and you can read it here : http://www.thedailyneopets.com/altador-cup...otout-showdown/
Awesome_Paul Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 This is easy, scored 5 goals in first time. Just go to the left hand side (but not in front of the post) and shoot.
starkie13 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 So I'm now thoroughly convinced that the highest achievable is 961, my current high. I don't believe any one could complete it in 10 seconds or less because the goal animation takes almost 2 seconds apiece. Anyone else think otherwise?
Xepha Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 And yes I did better than that, sorry. I could score 5 goals in 6 seconds. The animation for each goal is breeze fast for me. I couldn't even screenie it XD (Update your flash perhaps and see if it plays faster...) PS : Thanks again for the news head up :) Very appreciated.
PUNKIN1ONLY Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 At the loading game screen it just pauses. It's been like this for about an hour =/

I guess this is one game that is best played on a fast computer then, not like msn... I get the worst of both worlds, having a medium speed computer
PUNKIN1ONLY Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 This is the same on my other computer. ANyone else having the same problem?
starkie13 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 It's been hanging for some people If you're using IE, maybe switch to FF or refresh it 5- times, sometimes the game just glitches, has happened to me otherwise just wait, it goes in and out of working for some
Jonboy14080405 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Is it just me or does the goal not count if it bounces out of the goal? I shot a few and the keeper just started laughing :( EVIL goailie :D
ho_yt Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Yay a new mini-game for the cup!! Its great to hear this because this game is not so intensive as the other 2..
Shadaw the Rampage Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Yo guy's this game is actually pretty easy, i found a strategy that works at least for me. you aim to the left and fire the ball as quickly as you can. The game resets the goaly and causes him to eventually miss five times in a row. I am honestly surprised im the only one that tried that so far o.o''' i scored 800 because of time bonus, the actual score was 200, but i got 600 for my time. and i can proove this is should be listed under my game scores because i sent the score. seriously though aim LEFT and FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!! ^..^ hopefully that helps thoughs of you that are struggleing with the game. reply back and let me know how this works for you. this is my first year ever to play any altador cup game.
