John is someone who knows how to program, but is really just learning Python.   Ryan is his 9-year-old son who is learning Python as his first language.  This game was written using pygame and is hopefully the first of many collaborations.

This game was created for the BenBonk Game Jam #4.

FYI - Any mouse button will work.  Use left and right buttons together to click faster... Or roll the scroll wheel your mouse if you really want to create ripples :)

Post your high scores!

Install instructions

The game runs right in the browser (JavaScript version), although there is a download-able version below, if you want (written with python and pygame). 

To play on Windows, download BalloonPush.zip and extract to a folder.  Run the BalloonPush.exe .  Windows may tell you it's unsigned and you have to click "Run anyway".  (Don't do this if you don't know me - you should never download and run an executable unless you have reason to believe you can trust the source).

If not on Windows or have issues, you may need to download the source code from BalloonPush_source.zip and run the python code.  This requires having python installed (and knowing how to run that).
