Needs sound and music. Could have done with some big tweaks to the physics. It was like a broken version of joust.

Screen with the text accidentally skipped due to keystrokes and I do not have time to read the text. The gameplay is fun. Feels like Balloon Fight from NES.

Very interesting game feel. I like the hyper-aggressive enemies.

Fun game, would have been happy to play more levels. Simple and effective enemy AI.

I rather enjoy the addition of the rescue aspect to an otherwise turbo charged rendition of a Balloon Fight-like game. The words of encouragement are also a really nice touch. Defiantly worth a play!

Great Concept ^^

At least sonebody fond a reason by the Balloon fight games not to stay at the top all the times so you have a nice gameplay, but a bit fast at some times. I whoud like to see it a bit overworked withe some speed-selecting menue.

but its a great improvment of the old concept.

Frustrating game, yay! =D
I'll definitely have nightmares of green balloons now!
(for the record, I manage to beat them =p)

I like this, it's kind of like vertical joust. Those jerk enemy balloons should be able to kill each other on accident. Fun mechanic. Good job!

That was a lot of fun. Graphics and sound were nice and clean (especially loved the little Defender style people) and the jousting was tricky but satisfying. Good work!

Cool little balloon fight/joust clone. The AI was a bit too much for me, I found the computer players more frustrating than challenging. I enjoyed the graphics.

Very cool! Interesting mechanics as well, a really good entry overall.

A little more audio (songs and sound effects) would be nice :)
