JUST DON'T POP THE BALLOON! 

my first game in GBDK

You are a balloon trying to find your way back to your owner. Use switches to open doors and clear your path, while carefully avoiding sharp spikes that could burst you. Travel through challenging areas and activate checkpoints along the way to help you on your journey. Stay light, stay careful, and try not to pop before you make it home.

Features:

  • Precision Flight Physics: Master the delicate balance of gravity and ascent. Control your descent to navigate through tight corridors filled with spikes.
  • POP green balloons throughout the map. Touching them saves your progress so you don't have to restart from the beginning after an explosion.
  • Persistent Highscore System: The game tracks your completion time and death count. Can you make it into the Top 3 Ranking saved directly to the cartridge's.
  • Checkpoints and switches that unlock doors

Controls:

Arrow keys: movement.

Z: Use gas to Ascend.

X: Maintain a Steady move for better precision.

START: Shows the status bar with time and death counter
