Balloon Kid — About this game
Alice follows a trail of balloons to find her little brother Jim, carried away by the wind. Keep her aloft by tapping A as the scenery scrolls to the left, collecting balloons while avoiding creatures and obstacles. Release her balloons to reach passages on foot, then inflate replacements when you need to fly again. Eight stages mix flight, ground movement and boss encounters, making control of height and momentum essential.
