it hasn't loaded for me yet anyone get it to load? curious on how the game works sounds like fun, post your thoughts...

Just be patient and let it load. I have DSL so I don't know how long it would take for you. I waited like 20 seconds for the black screen to have something show up. When it did, there wasn't any text but I clicked on that bar type thing (you'll see when the your pointer turns into a hand)

Click on it and then you can play. I didn't have any luck in knocking anything off though. Its an odd game. I'm going to wait till I hear/learn about the game more and see what others have to say about it till I put any more NP into the game.

I dont think it works in Mozilla either... O-O

Erg, its like the biggest game in neopets.

spent 2k and won nothing :oops: would still be playing but it wouldn't allow me to play any more :( it is an odd game --I'm already addicted

mine stuck with a black screen and says connecting to dev.neopets.com... whatever that is

I think I'll agree that it doesn't work on FireFox. I tried in internet explorer and had to ok a security box before it loaded (took a few seconds on my T1 line to get that box to appear as well). Spent the same amount of time on Firefox (admittedly not long) and got nothing. Probably something with the better security settings on Firefox....I'll have to look into that later (like when it's not almost 1 am :)).

I get a message come up:

Security

swf.neopets.com is attempting to read from dev.neopets.com. This is a potentially insecure operation. Do you want to allow it?


Perhaps some people's security settings are automatically blocking the operation?

This game is (like all the other Spooky Fairground games) rigged, I haven't won anything. Ah well, its still amusing if you have a few 100nps to waste somewhere!

same here. i hate these rigged games but it makes me want to play them even more. I suppose i want to beat the system :evil:

the game took a good minute or 2 to load on my broadband connection so you just have to be patient and it will probably load. i got the security warning too

When I had 0 np on me I could still shoot for some reason. Didn't win anything, sorry you guys wasted so much np.

i went to the WOE and it used that dev.neopets thing and it ran fine but with cork gun it doesn't connect,is this game flash or shockwave?

It loads for me in both firefox and IE, after a while. However, it appears completely irresponsive to whether or not your cork actually hits anything. It gives the same sound as if you hit the wall, and says you missed. I've hit at least 20 things, and that's invariably what happens.

Together with the long load time and the fact I have yet to hear of anyone winning anything from it, I'd say it's glitched.


Most fairground games aren't in fact inprofitable if you play them long enough, they're just set so that you almost never significantly win but have very worthwhile prizes when you do.

Ditto on the spending money for nothing... has anyone actually won something yet? And is it random, or do you wait for the handlebars to be alligned, or for a certain time in the day/of the hour?

I hate games like this and Baguetelle and Test your Strength... they keep me trying to figure them out!

That game doesn't work for me either. I have Netscape and a cable modem and it absolutely never loads. It always has the connecting to dev.neopets thing.

I just was able to play for the first time, and I am getting mad at the game... I blew about 2000 np on it... grr.
