Reminds me of Candy Crisis, another well-known shareware Mac arcade game.
Graphics and artwork are original and eye-catching. Theme ties the game together.
The game itself has several options to choose from, keeping one who maybe prone to boredom a variety. Challenging enough with lots of bonus goodies. Countdown of balloon pops is a good feature.
Couple suggestions:
*In the next version, add instructions/"help" as an option when pausing game. To help fool-proof during the game for rookies.
*ADD A DROP-DOWN MENU. Sorting through the menu can be confusing.
*Once one starts the game, make a feature that allows user who wishes to quit the game without posting a name on the hall of fame and reverts back to the first page.
Visually and audibly appealing altogether: font, cursor, background layouts, incorporation of java programming.
Keep up the good work! Look forward to next version!
