Balloon Jerks
Balloon Jerks
Play either single player or 2 player head-to-head.
Modes
Classic
Fire balloons to form clusters of 3 or more which then pop!
The jerks make things harder by releasing more balloons.
Use the fine control button for more accuracy.
When the timer hits zero, the ceiling drops down!
If any balloons cross the dotted line, you lose.
Circus
Bounce piggies off the ends of the see-saw to pop balloons.
Don't land on your partner.
Press X to flip the see-saw.
The closer you land to the end, the higher the jump!
Snood
Just like classic mode, form clusters of 3 or more balloons.
No time limit but every time a balloon lands without popping, the danger meter increases. Once it is full, the ceiling drops down!
Wildcard balloons change colour so make sure you time firing them to your advantage.

Nice arcade game!
Love it, here is my tribute !
thank you. Really enjoyed watching the almost half an hour of video. Your enthusiasm and commentary is priceless!
I bought it. Welcome.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it. I welcome feedback too, always looking to improve it.
If there was ever an official sequel to Pooyan, this would be it. So good!
I'd have never imagined a combination of the Pooyan defense against the wolves and Puzzle Bobble would work well together, but it's such a good balance of random annoyance and strategic choice. Well done!
Didn't quite get to 100k as I hoped. ;)
lol @ the name 😂 i love the unique mechanic of the balloon jerks being jerks!!
Nice work!
pretty cool!
