Everyone gathers balls and balances balloons

Stian moves his bin to a corner of the boundary square, away from everyone else, and starts filling it with yellow balls. Everyone else initially remains at their starting positions, filling their bins, but ultimately they all start to wander around the space.

At one point, Tete’s balloon nearly touches the ground, but he manages to hit it back into the air at the last second.

Olli calls out Christian for his bouncing technique at one point, pointing out that it’s too close to just resting on his hand, as opposed to being tiny bounces.

When there are just 15 seconds left in the clock, Marte loses control of her balloon, and it touches the ground.

Soon after, Stian hits his balloon a bit too hard, sending it outside of the boundary square. He tries to hit it with his bin, but is unable to, and he ends up leaving the boundary square while trying to retrieve it.

In the final five seconds, Tete loses track of his balloon, and it falls to the ground.

At the end of the game, Marte is in last place with 10 yellow balls, Tuva is in fourth with 16, Stian is in third with 18, Tete is in second with 30 (he’d accidentally gathered one blue ball), and Christian wins with 31 yellow balls.
