Reviews for "Balloon King"
When you reach a certain amount of points (depends on the player I guess) the game freezes. For me, 300+ causes this.
But other than this, it looks a lot better than the previous version! Just a shame I can't actually reach that far now... heh
I like what I see, but the game keeps crashing when I get to 99 balloons popped.
I'm running Firefox 46.01 on Windows 7 x64.
I like the sound design, and the art is nice enough. One issue I have, though, is that by the time I get to crashing, I have about 70 darts in reserve. I don't know if there's something that comes up after this point to counter that, but it feels like it would make things too easy to manage.
Sweet balloons are easypese nice game

thank : D
It sure took a while to reach Teal. :) This was a really addicting game, with slick graphics and easy gameplay that grows challenging just by the test of perseverence... or do the balloons slowly speed up? If they do, it's so gradual I can't tell if it's my reactions dimming or the game speeding up. I had a blast with it though, but one major thing that seems to be missing: highscores!! It's just not the same incentive without those (though the medals keep you hooked till a certain point). And a working save feature: once you quit the game it seems you're back at the beginning again? My general impression's great though, an hour into the game it's still as fun as when I started, though at this point there doesn't seem to be much more to strive to reach, even if it keeps going and there are ranks you can still climb. Oh, one more feature that'd be nice to have: a keyboard shortcut to pause the game, like P, since even simple things like clicking the pause button can be a major distraction when you're in the middle of the action. :) Good game!

Hey dude! Really cool review!
1. Yep! The game gradually speeds up as you level up so it will be going quicker and quicker until you reach the maximum rank! :D
2. As for highscores, unfortunately, the API with Construct 2, doesn't seem to yet have any way of establishing a high-score, unless I used some sort of my own server, and I'm really bad at network/server stuff haha. :D Unfortunately there's really nothing I can do until the API is updated or something. :D
3. Save feature should work if you hit Load from the main menu! If it doesn't, there's probably some glitch with Newgrounds processing it properly... If it keeps getting glitched then I'll definitely look into it!
4. Good point regarding the pause button shortcut! Will be adding it in today's update!
And really really really super duper thank you for making it up to the Teal Balloon. :D It really means a lot to me! <3
