How does your game relate to the theme?
You have one dart to destroy all balloons, if you POP IT! all, you go to the next level and continue playing, if you fail the dart, you lose and need to retry!

Very simple but addictive gameplay. The art and music fit well together and idk if it was intentional but the popping sound effect also lined up with the music almost perfectly.
The principle of the game is cool and the sprites well done, it is complicated but terribly adictive, nice game
The games a bit difficult at the same hitting 4 balloons in a row is quite satisfying.
I would suggest to have the dart move speed the same as the balloon.
This way the player can follow one of the balloons an try to hit when they align.
Otherwise, it's a nice game.
Wow, this was one of the hardest games in the jam!
I think I would have preferred if hitting at least a single balloon kept you in the game, but if you don't hit anything, you lose.
In any case, it felt like a simple but fun arcade game - nice job!
a lil bit difficult but GG , nice work !
It is quite fun, It reminded me of this old dart balloon game that I really don't remember the name of, It does take a while to get used to the balloons timings. It was quite difficult for me :( Simple mechanic done right! It also reminded me of ballons TD too!
Your game matches the theme quite well, nice job!
Very hard game! I think reaction-based games are just not my forte. Sometimes the balloons would spawn inside the screen instead of offscreen, which made it even harder. Very very hard, but nice game.
You can wait until the balloons return again! thx for the review
Wow, this was very difficult for me. Best I could muster was 140 pts, but I saw on the leaderboard people in the 1000s! Insane skills for those folks.
First reaction was I was surprised by how fast the dart shot across the screen, but then later I understood why as you had to line up all the balloons at the same time to hit them with that single shot. Good implementation of the jam theme, but boy was it tricky to play this (for me at least).
Nice work putting it all together and getting leaderboards integrated.
thank you for the review! this time we want a hard arcade, the people on 1000 or more, they play more than 4 hours rn! they are crazy
Cute, simple and to the point. Hard. Or I'm bad. I go with hard. I think, why not move the dart with the mouse?
We think in that, but we dont have time, maybe in future
The dart taking a bit of time to accelerate/decelerate made the game a little tough, but I'm happy to say I got on the leaderboard with 520 points! Nice work :)
Great game
It is really a fun game but can get difficult really quickly. Reminded me of old mobile games.
Definitely on theme for the jam.
I'm always a sucker for music and sound effects that set the mood of the game and the little funky groove had me running it a few times haha.
On the balloons that are running opposite directions, is there a programmed timing when they all line up or is it randomized? I had a couple levels where I ended having to wait for a while to get them to actually line up. That's my only real criticism.
Clean game!
"I have created an algorithm that selects a random point where they align, and based on the speed and direction they take when they spawn, they will align at that position.
