Balloon Pop Rush

Balloon Pop Rush fills the screen with floating balloons drifting upward at different speeds. They come in four or five colours – red, blue, green, yellow, and pink – and they bob around gently as they rise. At the bottom, you've got a little dart or a pointer that you can move left and right. Tap to throw a dart straight up.
But you can't just pop any balloon. Up in the corner, the game shows a target colour – say, red. You have to hit a red balloon. When you do, it bursts with a nice pop, and any other red balloons touching it also explode in a little chain. The bigger the chain, the more points you get. If you hit the wrong colour, the dart just passes through and nothing happens – wasted shot.
Each level gives you a limited number of darts – maybe 15 to start. You need to score a certain number of points before you run out. Also, if too many balloons drift off the top of the screen without being popped, you lose a life. You get three lives per level – lose them all and it's game over.
The balloons don't all move at the same speed. Some float up slowly, others zip up quickly. As you progress, the target colour changes more often, and more colours get added. Later levels also throw in a “tricky” balloon – it looks like the target colour but has a little stripe, and popping it actually deducts points. So you have to look carefully.
No power‑ups, no extra darts, no timers – just your aim and your decision‑making. Sometimes you'll wait for a cluster of matching balloons to line up before throwing, but you can't wait too long or they'll float away. It's a balance of patience and speed. The satisfying part is watching a whole group burst at once when you nail the right shot. 🎈
