Balloon Pop

Balloon Pop is a 1-player arcade game for the 8-bit Atari.

The player controls a small see saw that can be moved horizontally on the bottom of the screen. A character jumps from the side of the screen, and the player must move the upper end of the see saw under the character as they fall, to propel the character on the other side up into the air. On the top of the screen are a number of balloons that the player attempts to pop by bouncing their characters into them. If the character falls to the floor without the see saw properly positioned beneath them, a life is lost. The player starts with 5 lives, and it's game over when all are lost. There are 2 levels of gameplay, that have different see saw width.
