There are many things to like about Balloon Fight, but the best aspect might be the music. Hip Tanaka’s tunes will hypnotize you into a state of glee.

The gameplay is very similar to the arcade classic Joust except instead of playing as a knight, you are a nameless balloon fighter who must fly around and rid the screen of enemies by popping their balloons. Balloon Fight won’t dazzle you with its 8-bit graphics, but they certainly suffice and look sharp and colorful on the 3DS screen. In the Balloon Trip mode, you must carefully fly across the sea and collect balloons while avoiding electric hazards. Anyone who enjoys some arcade style fun will have a blast with Balloon Fight.
