I need to lock in and actually work on the game instead of sending it into the stratosphere ---

# Launch Scrubbed - MBG Launch 4 * * * The fourth high-altitude MBG balloon launch was originally scheduled for **March 28** but was officially **scrubbed due to technical challenges** encountered during pre-launch preparations. The next launch attempt is now scheduled for **April 18**. The mission began with standard pre-flight procedures. The balloon was set up in an open area, all connections were checked, and the hydrogen tank was prepared for fueling. The payload was secured to the balloon with reinforced attachments, and all instruments and trackers were confirmed operational. Wind conditions were monitored throughout the setup process, with light-to-moderate gusts present at the surface. During fueling, a **hydrogen leak** was detected in the tank assembly, releasing gas under pressure. The leak created an immediate safety concern for the team. The leak was successfully isolated and repaired, and fueling operations were temporarily paused for safety checks. During this period, some team members **experienced temporary high-pitched voices and ringing in the ears** , a harmless effect caused by brief exposure to hydrogen’s low density. After the leak was repaired, the balloon began to experience structural stress caused by **surface-level wind gusts**. The wind caught the surface area of the balloon, causing it to twist. This twist **cut off the airflow from the valve to the main body of the balloon** , creating a small air pocket in the neck of the balloon. This air pocket rapidly inflated with hydrogen, forming a localized bulge in the balloon’s neck. Shortly after, the pressure in the bulge became too great for the latex to contain, and the balloon **burst** at the site of the bulge. The balloon was rendered **unusable** and had to be cut from the valve and released. No injuries were reported, and the payload remained intact and undamaged. Since the incident occurred entirely on the ground, the balloon did not ascend, and no flight data beyond ground observations were collected. ### Lessons Learned 1. **Hydrogen Handling and Leak Prevention:** 2. **Balloon Preparation and Structural Integrity:** 3. **Environmental Factors:** 4. **Operational Safety:** Although the March 28 launch did not result in an ascent to the stratosphere, the experience provided valuable information that will directly inform the preparation and execution of the **rescheduled launch on April 18**. Adjustments will be made to fueling procedures, valve monitoring, balloon attachments, and environmental assessment to ensure safety and mission success. The team remains committed to achieving a successful high-altitude flight with MBG, and these lessons will be applied to reach the stratosphere in the next launch attempt. ---

To trigger the boss fight you would just need to achieve a certain score, then an animation plays and the boss appears ---

if I don’t get the boss fight fixed by May 15th I’m going to spend money on an actual artist to get it fixed (I don’t want to spend money on a makecode game but if it means I can deliver you bet that I will spend my life savings on it) ---

Maybe a special area you could go to get to the boss place, like how run 3 has secret tunnels, but putting them in random spots ---
