"Some minor flaws"
date: January 15, 2010
The game was a bit plain if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I loved the concept of being balloon boy but dodging birds gets boring really fast.
There were a few minor flaws with the game that I noticed...
1) The balloon doesn't follow the mouse very well. I found a way around this by moving the mouse double the distance I want the balloon to move and then moving the mouse to the real spot, however, this doesn't work well around the top and bottom.
2) The puking trajectory is a bit awkward. You can't hit the bird unless its right in front of you.
3) The increase in difficulty as the game progresses is VERY awkward!
0 to 1000 ft = 2 birds
1000 to 2000 ft = 3 birds
2000 to 3000 ft = 5 birds
3000 and beyond = 20 birds?!?
The rest was okay. But the game could benefit from a music mute button or a pause button.
