Deadly Balloons: Bullet Hell

The screen is wall-to-wall danger and the only way through is reflex, nerve, and the perfect ability at the perfect moment. Deadly Balloons is a fast, tactile bullet-hell shooter where you weave through swarms of enemy balloons, snap up power-ups, and grow from a single popgun into a screen-clearing storm.
