Twenty-eighth GOTW finished for 2023. Had some pretty fun mechanics and platforming that were marred by some high difficulty, what with painful enemy placement and level design that made the game feel awfully cheap on several occasions. The shooting gallery in-between each world was thankfully a reprieve to replace health and lives, but oftentimes I felt cheated out of a jump because of random enemy spawning or falling level debris.

A fun platformer where you have an unlimited supply of balloons that he can throw, which he uses to hit enemies, float, and to jump off of. Unfortunately, the game is way too short (like many of that era). But if you like NES platformers, this is definitely worth playing.
