I love the pixel art and the fact that you defuse these bombs in such a silly way :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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!"},{"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"50889","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:01am","epoch":1429527360,"text":"It takes some time to learn, but when you learn it, then it is a game that you easy becomes addicted too."},{"author_name":"ajopart","author_uid":"40976","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:12am","epoch":1429528020,"text":"Nice one ! graphics work fine, gameplay is perfectly fluid. Nice job. Can I catch the bird ? I also saw thin red lines appearing\/disappearing when I reach 1000 points.

I have to agree with one comment that said that bombs were easy and lasers were hard. There's not much room of what to do with them, and trying to avoiding them is a hit and miss affair.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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. :)"},{"author_name":"Mixer","author_uid":"16241","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 11:41am","epoch":1429616160,"text":"Kaype! After always being in IRC with you, and your annoying image posting, I can play your game :D <br\/><br\/>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.<br\/><br\/>I really enjoyed this :D<br\/>...Windows 95"},{"author_name":"Jwatt","author_uid":"5551","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1429629720,"text":"A bit wonky but still easy thanks to large bubble hitboxes.

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 clich\u00e9d, 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\r\n\r\nINSTRUCTIONS (READ BEFORE PLAYING):\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\nThe controls are described in-game.\r\n\r\nREQUIRES JAVA 7 OR HIGHER!\r\nHave fun with this ladies and gentlemen.\r\n\r\nNow then, to get some sleep...","title":"RRRR"}
