Balloon DS (French) is a puzzle game where you have to hold the NDS upside down and try to pop the balloons. It is one of the PAlib projects.
User guide
Hold the DS upside down. Then look for balloon to burst it and put it in one of the 2 stocks (left and right).
To pop a balloon without storing it, simply tap on it without pressing a button.
To go to the next level you have to pop a certain number of balloons of each color. These numbers are shown on the non-touch screen (which means bottom screen since the DS is upside-down).
There are 2 types of bonus balloons (blue) that will appear during the game:
- Flower balloon - Give time bonus.
- Star balloon - Allow you to get 4 balloons of the same color in a row.
Since version 2.0 you can also view the next balloons.
Controls
A/Y - Store ballon on the left/right
Stylus - Shoot
Play with the NDS upside down, this is by design according to the author (so you can see the balloons float up).

- Finally, reduced the time between each level. Thanks Sto.
