Wrecking Balloon for Game Boy!

Play as an unlikely duo: an angry cactus strung to a happy balloon. Together, they embark on an epic adventure through the sky - popping any balloons in their way.

The game is a challenging autoscrolling shoot 'em up where you pop enemy balloons with your cactus and avoid getting popped yourself!

Setup

It can be played in the browser with a keyboard or even on mobile! With the downloadable .gb file, it can be played on an emulator or on actual hardware (DMG, GBC, GBA, SGB, GameCube GB Player, Analogue Pocket, etc) using a flash cart.

The game ROM is packed into a 32kb file! The PCB requires no MBC or battery (like Tetris!). The lack of battery does mean no saving so once the game resets so do the scores.
