* How to play

Game A (1 Player Game)

* On the ground, enemies inflating balloons before flying off into the air.

* The player controls the game with the directional button and the A or B buttons. Please progress your way through by ramming into the enemies.

* If the player strikes the enemy's balloon with their body (In an attack from above), they'll break the enemy's balloons, who will go falling with their parachute open. If you go on to once again hit the descending enemies, they'll fall down to the water and that enemy will be destroyed.

* If that enemy falls down to the floor in their parachute, they'll inflate their balloon once again, flying back into the air and coming back stronger. For enemies that are on the floor, please attack them once again by kicking them into the water before they fly back.

* If the enemy's body touches the player's balloon, one of two stocks will deplete, weakening your ascension power. If both balloon stocks deplete, the player will fall into the water, resulting in the loss of one life.

* After the enemy sinks into the water, a bubble will rise up. Breaking it will award bonus points.

* If you fly near the surface of the water, the face of a fish will emerge, threatening to eat the players! Be forewarned.


* As time passes, the flashes of thunder clouds and lightning will appear. In order to not be hit by the lightning, please hurry in your progression.

* After finishing every 3 screens, there's a bonus stage. As the balloons appear one after another, please pop as many as you can.

- If a player's balloons have been reduced to one, making it to this screen will restore them back to the original two.

-  On the bonus screen, even if you fall to the floor having burst two balloons, you'll bounce back up to the air. You will not lose (during 2 Player).

* As you progress through a number of stages, the "Guru Gurus" will appear. If you touch them, you'll be sent flying, so watch out.

* The player can pass through both the left and right side of the screen.

Game B (2-Player Game)
* This game plays the same as Game A.
((Cooperative Type)) 2 Players combine their power.

- One player can pop the enemy's balloons, which the other breaks their parachute or kicks them away.

Synchronize with each other well to quickly get through the game. Also, you can expect to obtain a high score as well. 

Competitive Style
You and your opponent thwart and mess with each other. Bump your opponent, pop their balloons to lower their ascension power or interrupt their flight direction to invite a loss of life. Also, you can utilize the rotation of the "Guru Gurus" to disrupt the movement of your opponent.

Game C [Balloon Trip]

* You'll gently move from the left to the right of the screen.
* Attempting not to touch the lightning, skillfully avoid it while trying to pop as many balloons as possible in this game.
* During the game, your RANK will end up somewhere within 50 people. It will show on the upper right of the screen.

* Technique

Game A or B
1. While a balloon is being inflated, you can kick or be kicked away.
2. After popping the enemy's balloon, during their fall you can cut their parachute for a high score.
3. Also, after the enemy has sunk underwater, please pop the bubble that appears.

4. Try to effectively utilize the rotation of the "Guru Guru". It can be used as a tool to evade enemy attacks or to strike them with a counter attack. Also, with the rotational power of the Guru Guru, you can use it to fly off to far away places as well.
5. Please take care not to be hit by lightning.
6. In order to not be eaten by a fish, be cautious when flying near the water's surface.
