Buster Bros. — About this game
Travel through single-screen arenas where bouncing balloons divide into smaller, quicker targets each time they are hit. Fire a harpoon upward, judge where the next bounce will land and leave enough room to move when a large balloon splits. Platforms and ladders change the safe firing positions from stage to stage, while weapon items can alter how effectively you cover the space above. Clearing a screen depends on controlling the number and position of the remaining balloons. A careless shot can make the arena more crowded, so planning where to stand matters as much as firing often.
