Ultra Balloon

Ultra Balloon is a Flash powered arcade game that makes no particular sense of anything but is still fun to play thanks to its silly gameplay and unique villains.

The game doesn’t have an elaborate plot or even a short story to it but it does come with a very brief intro on what’s about to happen. One night, it was nice and quiet over the Robinson house, when all of a sudden, the toy realm was shattered, what ever that means.

After that short and confusing intro, you’re taken right into the action. You play as a little blue penguin who is put face to face with what once were adorable toys and now are horrifying and angry monsters that are yout to get him.

The game provides several different levels in which you can move around, jump on various platforms and throw balloons at your enemies to trap and then kill them. You can create a big balloon by holding a combination of keys for more trapping power.

Ultra Balloon is a classic arcade game in which you get to kill several kinds of monsters for points. Once in a while, if you manage to pull off a multikill or a more complex move, the monsters you kill drop some items in the shape of gigantic hamburgers and such that give you bonus points.

Before you start the game, remember, ‘C’ is used to jump. It’s the only key that isn’t shown in the brief controls tutorial and is one you’ll be using a lot. It’s worth mentioning that shooting balloons at the monsters traps and lifts them in the air, enabling you to jump on them for the kill. If by any chance that method doesn’t do it for you, the little penguin is also blessed with some pretty powerful fart attacks. Yep, fart attacks.

To wrap it up, Ultra Balloon is that kind of game you want to play when there’s literally nothing better to do.
