Simple idea that is easy to pick up! The colour coding helped me remember which balloons to focus on. I would love to hear the audience cheer the numbers or have other elements hype up the party atmosphere :). While there is a time limit, it is not very apparent, so I didn't feel too much urgency. Nonetheless, nice little game :)!

It's cute and I really enjoyed it! I think it might be better in replayability if there are balloons that can reset the countdown or do some calculation or something. I would like to try it again if there's any updates :-D

Nice game.  Sometimes hard to hit the balloons, but I'm using a track pad so that might be part of it. 

Developer

Thank you for playing! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it. I can imagine a trackpad makes that a bit trickier 🎈

Really like the concept. But very hard to pop the balloons, I miss a lot

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it. I was trying to add a little extra challenge to popping the balloons, but maybe I made it a bit too difficult πŸ˜…

I like the New Years' Day theme! How clever. The different types of balloons that do different things to make the game harder or easier was fun to discover. For the music, it would have been neat to have something that changed with the count down where it got more chaotic or intense as you go.

Developer

Thank you for playing! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it. I really like the idea of the music getting more chaotic, I should have thought about that!

Oh, this is like in my game, ahah, you could check it - we have clubs and there colored people dancing

Developer

Haha, nice! That sounds fun. I'll definitely check it out! πŸ˜„ Thanks for playing!

Really creative idea! Nice execution too but audio wise it could use some work

Developer

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it! πŸ˜ŠI agree the audio needs more polish, with more time I would have searched for better effects and added more. Appreciate the feedback! 🎈

Nice idea, but I didn't really understand the colors and how it really works

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! 😊 I’m sorry the colors and special balloons weren’t clear enough during gameplay. I also added some explanations in the game description. Appreciate the feedback! 🎈
