Play as a turret and use the mouse to shoot balloons out of the sky! Shoot the balloons as fast as you can, using as less stars as possible! Keep a record of four different scores and submit them on the four different online Leaderboards! Play the games three game modes with style to unlock achievements! Spacebar pauses the game!


The game has been updated! I changed the music and time attack mode, replaced single mode into Skyfall mode and did a bunch of minor changes here and there.

Not bad, pretty nice game modes. I recommend to overwork the menu design a bit more. It is not clearly enough where to switch to the mainmenu and to other screens at the first time. Also a in-game help would raise your score. The next part I recommend is to polish the graphics up.

I see much potential in this game, it could easily get 6-7/10 Stars when you rework the graphics.
The music isn't annoying to me cause it fits to the game.

You can combine your existing achievment values to let the player get newgrounds achievements.

Just keep a bit working, the jam has not ended yet.

Summary
+ Gameplay
+ Different modes
+ Challenging

- Graphics could be more polished.
- UI design could be improved (Homebutton, Mutebutton as mentioned should be visible)
- In-game help would be good

Meeteos responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to rework the graphics and add those things in time.

You should really consider adding a mute button.

Meeteos responds:

Go to the pause screen or the game stats screen and click the word "music". It turns the music on and off.

Could use better background music, but nice game.

Meeteos responds:

Thanks, I'm still practicing music.
