Fun game! It took me a bit to find a winning strategy but I got it in the end! It's fun to try and find a balance between playing too risky and using all your bullets, but also you need to be somewhat proactive in clearing out space since if the balloons pile up they start to spawn inside the pack. What I ended up doing was prioritizing clearing as many virus balloons as I could depending on how many heart balloons spawned (since 1 heart = 2 virus)!

I like the concept here, forcing the player to carefully manage their ammo. Sometimes it's unfair, you'll have like 2 bullets left and then a bunch of virus balloons will pop up before you can even find an ammo. Other than that, good submission!

P.S: Be sure to check out mine (:

A decent game, fairly simple but with nice graphics - pretty good for a first public jam!

Omg i love itttt!

I played one game, didnt read what i had to do and were like "heh :P"
Then i played again, this time knew what i had to do and got really hyperfocused innit!

The only issue for me was, that sometimes the balloons spawned in each other and i couldnt reach them without hitting a virus :P
but besides that, a great game!

Fun and interesting mechanic!

Got there on my first try, found myself shooting virus balloons to get to a huge pocket of those health balloons. Such emergent strategies really elevated my experience! Nice job.

I got there on the second try. Nice job! It would have been more satisfying with a pop sound for breaking the balloons.

Easy to play and understand, hard to finish !! Randomness adding fun frustration :)) Great game jam game, good job :D

I think the game is a bit unfair, because when you shoot at what you need, exactly at the moment when the bullet flies over this ball, a ball with a virus appears, it is very annoying, there are too many viruses compared to other objects.

The closest I got was 7 keys! I really love the implementation of the virus.it pushes you to go fast while still maintaining accuracy by avoiding the virus balloons. Solid first publish, man, good job!

This kind of game could really shine if you added some roguelike elements, like random power-ups and progression on each run. That would make every try feel fresh and even more addictive.

I won!
Very cool game! Theme and Special object executed 100%!

I love how you made the game simple in every way! Easy to paly easy to understand. A perfect Game Jam game!

Good job!

Congrats on your first published game! That is a huge milestone and I hope you go on to make lots more games!

The gameplay here are really cool and it is great to see so many mechanics implemented.

But... damnit I didn't make it, even with multiple tries. Maybe there is a mechanic that I am missing, but for me personally the game felt overly hard - maybe I should prioritise getting hearts all the time? My recommendation would be to make multiple levels with increasing difficulty.

Good job on your game though!

If you have time, feel free to check out the game I worked on.
