Hi Patricia, thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback!
It was not my intention to make a scary game. And don't worry at all about not playing it. I completely understand if balloons make you uncomfortable. Although the balloon "pops" when you lose, it's actually more of a deflating sound than a loud real balloon bursting, because I thought it sounded funnier. That said, I totally get why the theme alone would make you not want to play.
I'm really pleased you mentioned the multiplayer aspect. I only recently redesigned the game to work with just one button per player, and after looking around on itch.io I was surprised to find that, out of well over 1.5 million games, I couldn't find another local multiplayer audio one-button game by searching the tags. Multiplayer audio games seem to be incredibly rare too, so I'm glad I've been able to make one.
Thank you again for all your encouragement. Hopefully you'll enjoy whatever I make next.
