Okay, so Funny World And Balloon Boy is one of those weirdly charming Genesis/Master System games that feels like it fell out of a cartoon from 1992. You play as this little dude with a balloon for a head (obviously), bouncing through these bright, slightly surreal levels full of floating platforms and enemies that look like rejected toy designs.

The first few minutes are deceptively simple—just some basic jumps and avoiding spikes—but then the puzzles start creeping in. Suddenly you're timing balloon inflations to reach higher ledges or using weird wind mechanics to drift past spinning saw blades. The physics feel janky in that classic 16-bit way, where you'll overshoot a jump and curse, but it kinda works for the game's vibe.

Honestly, the art style carries it. Everything’s got this rubbery, exaggerated look, like someone animated a kid’s sticker collection. The music’s all bouncy synth tunes that stick in your head way longer than they should. It’s not some hidden masterpiece, but if you’re into offbeat platformers with personality, it’s a solid weird little time capsule.
