Fun, Challenging but slow
Yeah, it is a bit lagging but it's playable. Actually it's quite good and pretty fun also it takes strategy so that's a plus. So pretty much speeding it up would do otherwise great job. =)

Thanks for the comments. Actually, if you click on the Options menu item you can switch off many of the elements which may be slowing down the game. I suggest trying that to see if it helps.
Thanks

Good Game, a few details to polish
The game is well done but as I said needs some polishment.
The good:
- the atmosphere, balloons, kids screming (in a nice way hopefully), cheerful.
- the game itself even if it's not original it's fun to play.
The bad:
- it runs slow, it needs to be optimized. In my pc, slow enough to be noticeable.
- the tutorial popups are really anoying, they shouldn't block the flow of the gameplay. I would put them on top of the game so they don't block the view so much and I would let the player keep playing while they are on screen. Even with the button to disable them.
- the "points popups" block too much of the screen and take too long to disapear. They should be helpfull, not anoying. Since it runs a little slow in my computer you could make them semi-transparent and you could tween them by time and not by frames (if that's the case).
Keep it up.

Hi there!
Thanks for the very constructive feedback.
Framerate issues are always a big problem for Flash games and for sure I'm probably not the best at optimising.
I'm sorry you found the points popups annoying. If I make them semi-transparent I think it'll slow even more though (Flash doesn't like transparencies, generally), but yeah putting in on a timer rather than a frame thing would help.
Still, it was good advice, so thanks.
And to all the comments, this one and below, a big thank you. I'm always amazed at how constructive and useful the Newgrounds community is compared to... other Flash portals!
Cheers

one of my favourites :D
* an IMMEDIATE favourite
this game was so well done and it kept me going for ages :D
it lagged quite a bit for me though but i think it's just my computer

Relaxing
Enjoyable and yet relaxing at the same time; would play this to pass the time by Good Job~
Great!
It was simple but so addcitive, the powerups were a good additiontoo, they were the key to getting a good score ( saving the powerups up).
My high score was 93,967, so apparently I'm 71% genius! WOOH! ...
The sounds got slightly annoying however with the combo streaks.
92/100 A+ Well Done
