Balloon Burst

Weathered pine, tin panelling and a hand-lettered saloon marquee. The screen looks west over the dusk prairie, where the balloons cut loose from the fairground drift in over the water tower. You stand on the boardwalk with a lasso line — throw it straight up and a big balloon splits into two smaller ones, and those into two smaller again, until the last little ones burst. Eight rounds out to the last sunset, and a Balloon Burst stamp for whoever clears them all.

The controls

Arrows to walk the boardwalk, space to throw the rope. On a touch screen, hold anywhere to walk that way — each tap throws another line.

Out on the prairie

One rope at a time until round five, then two. Bursting the smallest balloons is worth the most, so finish the little ones rather than splitting everything at once. Let the clock run out and it costs you a star.
