Balloon Kid is a unique and charming platformer where you control a young girl who must rescue her brother after he floats away on a bunch of balloons. Instead of traditional jumping, you float using two balloons, making navigation tricky but engaging. The game features colorful visuals, catchy tunes, and a surprisingly heartfelt story. While the controls can feel imprecise at times and the difficulty ramps up towards the end, Balloon Kid offers a fresh take on the platforming genre with a whimsical atmosphere.

Cute, quick game to play on a Gameboy or handheld you got off the internet that looks like a gameboy. Last couple of stages had a respectable challenge. Has that instant, simple, gripping fun that you can only get from original GB games.
