Some spike locations were too tight and it was too hard to navigate through them with the movement of the basket making the balloon spin, and also getting the balloon to pop when only the basket touched the spikes. I'd make the basket a safe zone and only lose if you touch them with the balloon itself. Other than that, very solid game!
It worked really well with the theme once I realized what they were supposed to be for! The gameplay itself was challenging and fun, though a bit tedious later on. The banjos were a really good choice for the style of game!
Overall this was a very nice entry, one of my highest rated for humor and audio!
