[edit] Introduction

At the start, a train track with the players' trains and balloons will be shown. Both players point at a train with their cursor, reversing its direction. The game then starts.

[edit] Gameplay

The players have to point their cursor at their trains, so that they will not pop their colored balloons. There are 3 balloons and trains each; the players have to compete until one player pops 3 of his/her balloons, resulting in a win for the opponent. The trains will stop moving once they pop a balloon. It is also impossible for a player to pop his/her opponent's balloons, as the player has to pop his/hers first. The burst balloons and trains will start moving again sometime after making contact.

[edit] Ending

The winner will do a victory pose while the loser is sad. The screen then cuts to the winner's train, which is traveling around the track.

[edit] Trivia

The word "locomotive" is another name for a train.
