Nice arcade game! Simple but also fun to play as a nice distraction for pauses in between work. The game feel was also on point and very satisfying for inflating balloons and for killing enemies.
There are couple of problems I ran into while playing, plus I'll also add some suggestions if you plan on updating the game:
Overall, simple but inventive remake of the space invaders game which also fits the theme (though I would have gone for the title "Space Inflaters"), good job!
Oh god! That is such a better title! How did I not see that!
Thank you for playing!
What a twist - loved the interpretation ! My first reaction was that there should be a balloon noise when it shoots off but that could have been annoying XD... A great entry thank you for participating!
I liked it a lot, but I did feel a little impatient waiting for the balloon to get bigger and would have liked a bit more control over the balloon when I shot it
Loved the concept, controls of the tank are a little bit odd but it's still a fun game!
RATE BACK PLS :)
I like this! Bonkers in a good way. I kind of expected the balloon to burst if I held the button too long, but that didn't happen. A really nice entry!
Really funny concept, and the game feel is really good! Congratulations!
Yeez!! The way it destroys the "Invader" is so damn awesome! It's an excelent re-imagination of the classic Arcade Game :>
I like the experience of killing the enemy. It feels so satisfying. At first I was like, what? the bullet doesn't work! hmm.. Let me press and hold it. Then boom, an options where I could expand the balloon and shoot them upwards. Cool! But then I was like, what if I just continue to blow the balloon until it fills the majority of the screen. Boom! It obliterates every enemies and the UFO. That feels soo good lol. I like this game. Very simple, tight, and fun to play. Good job! I like the way you design your game.
Too bad It caps me to play only up to Level 4.
I liked your spin on space invaders! I found it a bit difficult to predict where the balloons would go if you made them to big, but I liked that they'd go somewhat straight so long as you could find the balance. Overall, I enjoyed this game quite a bit! Please be sure to rate my game if you can.
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to play it.
I think your suggestion is a really good one. It could be some kind of meter like active reload, and the closer you get the straighter the balloon goes. I may try and implement this once the ratings period is over.
it's an interesting game of Space Invaders where you use balloons, blowing them up and then letting them go as projectiles, enjoyed it a bit. though there is a sense of unprecitable outcomes, in some cases, it doesn't even reach anything and it makes the shot feel unfair.
maybe if there was some indications of what type it would be, like the colours showing which does what. then it might be more fun
overall, had a good time.
Pretty neat idea and a creative take on space invaders! If I have one small nitpick is that the balloon projectile's trajectory is a bit unpredictable. I think its still really fun to play though!
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to play it!
