    (2) Disk Jam Going for the Triple Win

    Disk Jam Is a Lot of Fun When the Servers Are Working

    Watching an opponent fall when you score to close to them is a good feeling

    After learning the ropes and getting my bearings from last time. In this episode, I was able to play three matches within the span of this video. I got enough points to try out the prize machine and attempt to go on a three-win streak. Each match is fast fun and exciting, each victory feels earned as you outmaneuver your opponent. It’s a game of skill and deception, you want your opponent to always be on their back foot. I generally try to switch up my throws and keep them guessing by applying a whole slew of different tactics. It’s also pretty awesome that this is something I can even talk about, this seems like something in short supply in games of this nature.

    Two Victories and the Prize Machine

    The prize machine can be a big letdown for how many matches it takes to unlock one

    The first two matches go pretty well for me, I pull out a hard-fought win in each. There’s some good back and forth, a lot of different throws to dish out and conquer from both sides. The whole time I got a big smile on my face and am just having a blast. If you have yet to try this game, definitely give it a good as it’s a ton of fun in a really short amount of time. After the two victories, I can try out the prize machine and I can’t even begin to describe how big of a letdown it was.

    I didn’t get a cool skin or a new disk to throw just a lame victory pose for a character I have no interest in using. Stanton is the character you use in the tutorial and he was just too slow for my liking. For how long it takes to get one prize it’s just not worth striving to unlock a whole bunch of stuff as it’s going to take a lot of grinding.

    Going for That Triple Win In Disk Jam

    Triple Win Shut Out
    I was pretty happy to end my third win with a shutout

    The final match was luckily not too much of a hassle as I pretty much dominated from the get-go. I was proud to win with a shutout in the end. That’s what makes Disk Jam so amazing, you can have three wins that feel earned but it can also have crushing losses that make you wanna jump back in and strive harder for those wins. Whether it be through practice or just pure determination its all just so much fun.

    Disk Jam Isn’t the Windjammers Remake We Needed but the One We Deserved

    A good opening throw is key

    Disk Jam is a game that’s a reimaging of an older game called “WindJammers“. That game is a true relic as it’s a unique sports game and a whole ton of fun. This game tries to recapture the magic of WindJammers and it does a stellar job of it. Just ignore the first match as the person seems to just stop playing. A wins a win, though.

    Disk Jam Keeps Matches Short and Sweet

    Skill Throws are key in Disk Jam
    You can throw some pretty impressive disk maneuvers

    A match in Disk Jam takes a total of about three to five minutes when all is said and done. I failed to notice in the early going how the point system works but I eventually figured it out. The number counter in the center of the arena goes up the longer the disk is in play. Allowing you to get a pretty impressive lead if you play a bit on the defensive side. The basics are that you need to throw the disk soon after you get your hands on it. If you throw it as soon as you get it you throw a “Perfect Throw” and it goes a little faster which is helpful. I’m not very good at it.

    Disk Jam Is Pretty Barebones for Now

    Online and Split Screen for 1v1 or 2v2 is about it for now

    Disk Jam is a game made by two people according to the news box on the side of the screen. What we have now is really impressive and just straight-up fun. I’m willing to wager that the developers are going to try and go the Rocket League route. Get a big player base and just keep pushing out content, which is awesome. I for one am greatly looking forward to seeing this game expand and becoming something amazing. Unfortunately, at the end of the video, the online service broke forcing me to stop playing. After some of these bugs have been ironed out I bet this game will be something everyone’s talking about.

    Next time we go for a triple win!
