Balloon Girl - Tap your way through an endless loop for the Atari 2600


Another homebrew mention for this week but this time it's from theloon for the Atari 2600, is an in development homage to Balloon Fight on the NES called ' Balloon Girl '. This game looks closer to Flappy Bird rather than Balloon Fight as you must avoid obstacles in a constant side scrolling loop with only a one button control method at your disposal. By simply tapping this button this keeps your girl in the air while obstacles and enemies come at you from the right hand side. The further you travel, the higher your score!


Even though it was mentioned on the RVG forums recently, according to the developer as from this year, the game is feature complete and a company called Triverse will be publishing it. As for a release date, they haven't mentioned that as of yet.

CONTROLS:
Press FIRE to move forward and up.
Set any difficulty switch to PRO for faster gameplay.
RESET brings you back to the title screen.

DEATH:
Touching the mushroom demon or angry bee will deduct a life. 
Reaching the far left of the screen will deduct a life.
Falling down off the screen will deduct a life.

SCORE:
10 points for every red flame picked up
100 points for every joystick picked up
