Not sure what the point was, this has gained one of my lowest ratings because it basically isn't a game and looks like it was drawn in Paint and programmed with PowerPoint.
Not sure what took you 48 hours on this, but I could make this functionally in about 4 languages spending no more than 15 minutes on each.

I had to learn how to program in 48 hours and learn paint! My next game will be taken to next level x10! Not to mention, had to take a 6 hour break to take my mom to a Grinch play. Geesh!!Thanks for the feedback Rogod!

The controls were odd at first, but I got used to them quickly. Would be better if you could do something with the money, like upgrade your pin shooting or make more balloons spawn. Not being able to lose made the game less entertaining, and I found myself stopping relatively quickly.

Good use of both themes, though. I always love it when a game is able to use both in a noticeable way.
