The challenge isn't only to keep from scrolling off the top of the screen, but to beat your opponent to each hole so you can claim the point for that platform (and be visually rewarded by the platform changing color). When you start a new game, it's more about racing your opponent to claim points and collect speedups, but as the game progresses, things get more desperate as you try harder and harder just to stay alive. This gradual shift in objective during gameplay helps keep things interesting. I think Aaron's game is well-balanced and appears to be well-tested. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the VCS AI played. While the game's concept is simple, it's very well executed, IMHO. -Lee
