GoobnBalloonsDX

I first played a demo a long time ago and just the improvements that have been made with this full release is great! It takes me back to my younger years when I'd come home from school and play some shoot em up flash games. Each level is short and there is numerous different challenges to make popping balloons interesting. Like having to pop balloons in a certain spot on the screen, surviving a time limit, or taking out a boss. If you like shoot em ups and a little bit of bullet hell (where the bullets are balloons you blow up) then for sure pick up this game.

A colourful & wacky, balloon popping game, similar to the game Pang! in many ways. A simple tutorial starts you off with how to aim and move, followed by a select your character from a choice of weird and wonderful looking monster things. Aim with the right stick at constant balloons and other things like random enemies, mines, explosive bombs and more, get hit by anything or fail the objective then its game over. The game looks simple enough with big and bright colourful graphics but its quite a challenge, even on early levels you can fail quite a few times. After a couple of attempts I found the game easier to get into, despite my right hand thumb starting to feel the strain, for anyone with RSI issues this probably wont be for you. The game-play loop is a mixture of pop the balloons and survive, last the timer out, rescue someone by shooting their balloon against the timer etc. I did have a lot of fun playing the game but after approx. 30 minutes I had pretty had enough due to my right hand and thumb telling me its also had enough. In short bursts of a couple of levels this game is fun, local co-op is also available. An arcade mode is also unlock-able which is basically a high score / survival challenge mode. Graphics and sound are simple but do the job. Some may feel the price is a bit much for essentially what does look like a mobile game. I recommend the game still, despite the repetitive nature and my poor old wrist / thumb that needs a holiday! https://youtu.be/CaMKpi8SY1A?si=SZJ9ZDuSmO4FRfOd

An addictive arcade style game that has me going "okay just ONE more level." Challenging but not impossible, with enough variety to keep you hooked for hours, but accessible enough to whittle away at if you only have a few minutes. I've enjoyed collecting the accessories and meeting the new companions and have actually giggled out loud at some of them (I'm looking at you Mr. Sun). Overall a fun and funky game that truly is a joy to play.

The hand drawn characters and worlds are the best part. Being able to do couch co-op with controllers made it fun and accessible for everybody. Controls work as they should and it's easy to keep track of yourself even when a lot is happening on screen. It plays like an arcade shooter and when you die, the level restarts so fast that it doesn't kill your rhythm. Unlocking hats, players, etc, is done at a good pace. The price is fair considering the amount of content and being able to play with others gives it replay-ability. Here's our video reviewing it. https://youtu.be/NcBzjRybXCc

A return to the simplicity of games you can press Play on, and enjoy. Some progression elements with new characters to unlock and accessories. But if you want a game you can just PLAY, and have fun for 5 minutes or an hour - this is it.

Very fun arcade shooter! My gf and I have been doing a co-op playthrough and it's insanely addicting! This game is a perfect example of a simple concept executed well. You goob balloons, but the different balloons, characters, and zones keep things fresh. Some of the level types are very challenging, so for us the game never felt too easy. The music and sound design are really nice too, every track fits the environment and the sound effects are fun! VERY worth the money!

big fan of goob hitboxes are actually so perfect this is fun

This game is generally pretty fun, something that you can play casually from time to time. It has a fantastic visual style and a very charming soundtrack to back it up. There is a great variety of level types, with some certainly pushing the difficulty curve up pretty high. Achievement hunting for this game may certainly prove tedious at times, but rewarding. The game can also be very unforgiving at times, with all levels allowing no room for error since you only get one life. In longer levels, this can get a bit frustrating but none of the levels are absurdly unfair. The game also features local co-op, which can certainly help at times. Overall, I think this game is certainly enjoyable. It would be very nice if the game had an online co-op option for long distance playing with friends. As a debut title for Iconic Arts, nicely done!

Un "mata marcianos" genero de juego no muy explotado el cual aquí si que lo hicieron jaja. Bastantes modalidades y pasa de niveles tranquilos a tener la pantalla llena de proyectiles todavía me queda pendiente terminarlo pero en lo que vea bastante divertido! Muy recomendado si buscas pasar un momento bastante divertido! y por ahí ojo con las referencias a los clásicos.
