RRRR by kaype
Good Morning!
So this is my entry for the compo. It's called 'RRRR', stylized as 'XXXX'. I kinda wanted to make a game with a rather simple art style, but still give it a very bouncy and fun mood. The mechanics are simple, the idea behind it is super clichéd, and more importantly, it's challening! Just like all of my games I try to make sure they maintain a certain level of difficulty. While the game is rageworthy, I tried to tone down the difficulty a bit though, so it's still fun and not just punishing. Hopefully that'll pay off :P
INSTRUCTIONS (READ BEFORE PLAYING):
You are in a hot air balloon floating around in the sky trying to protect the area below from being bombed. To do this, you use your *BUBBLE GUN* to 'softly and gently' defuse them. Later on in the game, you also must avoid getting hit with lasers. Let me just warn you, that gets pretty tricky! You win once you get at least 5000 points.
The controls are described in-game.
REQUIRES JAVA 7 OR HIGHER!
Have fun with this ladies and gentlemen.
Now then, to get some sleep...

an old style theme for the game. Audio is pretty interesting, and graphics are consistent.
My first impression was "smooth/well put together"; Really looks and feels great.
Got a score of 600 and must say the game is very enjoyable.
There was a small bug where bombs would despawn as soon as they spawned as you were moving downwards, but I got a score of 4100 on my first go and 4550 on my second. Good work!
Totally! Those are lasers.
Also, something that bothered me is that bombs would damage the balloon even if they explode far away, which doesn't make too much sense. Other than that, a very nice entry. :)
It's alot of fun, music is nice but strange, and the aesthetics are cool too. One thing I didn't understand though is the rewards I got for moving, it seemed just as easy to just stay put and fire bubbles. Also, I didn't have much time to respond to the bomb, but I 'spose that is part of the challenge.
I really enjoyed this :D

The bombs still blow up if you move down even though it seems liek you should be able to capture them.
A fun little game with great polish in the animations, consistent art style and positive feedback when increasing your score.
