MARS BALLOON JUMPING ADVENTURE

I think we our rating system should have decimals, like 3.5 4.5 etc. Anyways!
Jm, I actually enjoyed this game even though it was quite difficult. I liked the simple retro graphics coupled with the 8bit diddy. The game play was nice, but the controls were a little... annoying to say the least.

I give it a 4, based on being made in 2 hours ( I would give it a 3.5 but, we don't have decimals yet, so consider yourself lucky :P )

Really nice for a 2 hour game, i really like the concept!

4/5

Thanks Ash! I was going to add sounds, but I thought it was a minor thing and would have took me over 2 hours so I thought i'd leave it. I am going to update sometime with many new levels and other things, and sound effects will be on the list.

Theodolite - OK you got me, I haven't done my research.

What kind of gas is inside the balloons?

I enjoyed it very much JM. It's a nice simple concept and kinda reminded me of Skullpogo and/or that game that was mentioned on Bytejacker recently.

The graphics and music went well together and the gameplay was quite challenging (iwbtg-esquely frustrating) - well, only the last level really.

I liked that the player controled the acceleration, as I found this the main challenge in the game, but it would have been nice for an accelerometer or sorts.

I was disappointed that there was no sounds for when the level was completed, when the balloons were popped, or when the played died; but, I suppose I shouldn't expect so much from a retro-themed game.

Overall JM, it's nice and I'll give a generous rating. :)
