Balloon Battle (Meter Games)

My first original game. While it does make use of a few commercial-use fonts, sounds, my friend's art, and a very nice background, the majority of this game is original and done without the help of tutorials or guides. Currently in beta, I hope to add several features before a full release across PC and Mac. While in the current state, the game is only available for PC.

Balloon Battle is a combination of Flappy Bird and Galaga, featuring shoot-em-up inspired combat combined with the frustration of maintaining altitude through increasingly imposing terrain.

As you pilot your hot air balloon through a cave, you'll face many different enemies. Blimps, Helicopters, and Planes will shower you with a hail of bullets and missiles as the ceiling and floor close in. 

Luckily, you're not without a fighting chance! Collect health and ammunition as it flies past you in order to defeat the onslaught of enemies. Weapon upgrades will allow you to simultaneously fire multiple bullets and missiles at your opponents, while extra lives will grant you a second chance to fight without sending you back to the start.
