Balloon Kid on Game Boy Color is basically Balloon Fight’s little sibling—same floaty, bouncy chaos, but with a kid instead of some random dude. You’re holding onto balloons, trying not to get popped by birds or whatever else feels like ruining your day. The physics are janky in that old-school way where you’ll overshoot platforms constantly, but that’s half the fun.

It’s got this weird charm where everything feels slightly off—like, why is a kid floating around with balloons? Who knows. But once you get past the first few levels, you start appreciating how weirdly satisfying it is to barely avoid disaster. The music’s catchy too, in that tinny Game Boy way.

If you liked the original Balloon Fight, this one’s a solid portable version with its own quirks. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand—those controls take some getting used to.
