Balloon Fight

About

Balloon Fight is a 1984 Nintendo game in which the player character has balloons on their back and must pop other characters' balloons. This is a remake of the 1984 Nintendo game Balloon Fight, created as an entry for a 2003 remakes competition. It reproduces all of the original's single-player levels, which loop in random order once completed (mirroring the original's endless structure), and reuses the original graphics along with a mix of the original's sound effects and newer ones from the DIV archive.

How it differs from the original

Two-player mode is not included, nor is the 'Balloon Trip' bonus mode where the player flies through an endless starfield popping balloons — both left out of this remake.

Getting started

It's playable in a browser; controls are the left and right arrow keys to turn, and X to get your character moving.
