Overview

Balloon Buster is a 1-player arcade game for multiple systems. Buster the Clown throws a ball up into the air on a stage to burst all the balloons, and they must be burst in the exact order of red, green, yellow, and blue. Buster can jump left and right, change direction, and throw the ball up in the air. How high the ball is thrown depends on how long the throw button is held. If two balloons are destroyed in one throw, or the balloons are burst in the wrong order, the player loses a life. The player has a limited amount of time to destroy all balloons on the screen. The player starts with a total of three lives.
