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.
one of the best game boy games! it's balloon fight..but you're on an adventure...!!!!!!
i know me and my sister owned this at one point i dont remember what happened to it
I like this game more then Balloon Fight
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.
I'd call myself a mild BALLOON FIGHT fan, so this game's existence feels like something of a gift. "Balloon Trip" mode, but a full game? With enemies and bosses and platforming and worlds and everything? And it actually works pretty well? Wow!
The Game Boy being the chosen platform for this is both fitting and a bit of an albatross. The entire game, just by its nature, is an autoscroller, and that means it's gonna need to be something engaged with in small chunks (to keep from going insane). Perfect for a short, punchy GB game. But in turn, this means small playfield and lower resolution, both of which greatly impact the obstacle design and your ability to navigate. Not to mention the physics of the floating - not able to be nearly as tight as on NES, it seems, and that's kind of the whole deal of the game, so.
But none of these drawbacks are fatal. It's designed well enough to mostly overlook and/or deal with them, and that's made even easier with a big dose of Nintendo R&D1 charm and an outstanding soundtrack by Tha God Hip Tanaka that's all spun off from the original NES game's main song.
Difficulty gets a little intense in the back half and requires some mild trial-and-error/leaps of faith/memorization to get through, but it's doable. It's some overlooked classic-era Nintendo! If you liked BALLOON FIGHT, it's worth a spin.

Pretty short. Movement took a bit to get used to. But was pretty satisfying to master. Bosses were nothing special, final one was pretty hard though.
Gostaria de jogar a versão da Hello Kitty para ver se é melhor.
