There's a certain sadistic charm to destroying the last beaked enemy's balloon and observing their very slow descend to the unmoving waters below.

With your spiked shoes you drop down upon the not-so bird of prey, and pop goes your avian adversary's method of flight. Their chirping becomes a hush as their parachute goes off and they gradually meander downwards in hopes of a safe landing, but the only thing that awaits is a pond infested with giant hungry piranha. The birb's beak bends down in a frowning manner, knowing that it's oblivion is at hand. You perch yourself on a tiny floating rock, and you watch in excitement as the music plays a melody of notes to go along with your victim's lackadaisical drop to their guaranteed demise. Beyond the fourth wall barrier that is the screen, your smile never leaves as you roleplay the villain of the story.

Yes my fishy friend, it's time to feed....

CHOMP

@petro_sino I keep trying to bother people to play it with me over fightcade, but alas. It's still super fun as a single player game though, and I still come back to it all the time since I love trying to strategize around beating the birds or just doing balloon trip. Hip Tanaka forever one of the greatest to ever do it.
