Story & context

The game is fairly simple in storyline. The player controls an unnamed hero "the Balloon Fighter", who has two balloons attached to his helmet. The balloon fighter is able to rise into the air or go lower through flapping his arms. If one of the balloons is popped, rising becomes more difficult. A life is lost if both balloons are popped. The player must defeat all enemies (other balloon fighters) to get past each stage.
