- This is a really cool little concept, I could see it fitting on the arcade well. It does need a bit more work but it flows nice, looks good for the time-frame of the game jam. It fits the theme well doing the right side of the balloons seemed a bit tedious at first but i think really fits the hard to master part. Adding a new mechanic would give the game the flair it needs to be in line with the higher end submissions but this is definitely in the top 25% I think you should keep working on this and show us the improved version. Feel free to pop into our discord if you need advice or support.

you can use left click and right click. to move the balloons both ways. its does say so in the help :( Thanks for looking at it though
Cool idea, but it seems there is only one level? Pity, because I'd definitely play more!
There are nine levels. The level select is on the main screen. Thanks for playing
Great game ! I love the concept !
The "next level" button takes me back to the menu. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but it's not a big deal. As you add more lines, it can get quite challenging, but since you can't lose, it might be a good idea to add lives or a timer to increase the stakes.
PS : I noticed that you commented on my game "Switch", but I couldn't access your comment because I was resolving an issue with the organizers ( I had submitted my development build, and the game started with the final levels ). Now that it's sorted, you should be able to play from the tutorial, and please feel free to leave another comment...
simple game done well
Really enjoyed this one. Felt challenging but fair. I think all that needs changing is the UI font so it's more legible!
Im having problems understanding the base premise :D
What am i supposed to do, protect the baloons?
Match the color to the birds?
Is combo the birds in a row i popped?
Or does combo mean, that i pop the baloons only when many birds of the same color are on the screen?
Fits the theme well, especially with the swapping to the left only mechanic.
Looks good too, graphically
Pop the balloons as quickly as possible
Balloons pop if a bird of the same color fly into it
You can "shift left" and "shift right" the balloons by left and right-clicking on them
The more pops you get in a row (combo) the more points each pop is worth
So if you pop all the balloons without a bird going into the wrong color you get a perfect score.
Thanks for playing, have fun :)
Oh you see, i didnt notice right click shifts to the right :D
But it felt even better when i though i can shift only to the left, promoted more thinking haha
Haha. There is a help button :) Glad you played in your own hard mode and still enjoyed it :)
