You are the Balloon Bandit in an exciting side scrolling shooter game.

Evade the police!

Avoid the bombs and spikes!

Collect the money!

No goats I'm afraid, but you may spot another mammal lurking in the trees...

This is my first ever LD48 project. I created it using Gamemaker Studio Standard. I used Photoshop for the graphics, sfxr and the voice recorder on my iPhone for sound effects, and Acid Pro 4.0 for music. I also recorded a vlog of my weekend which I will edit together and get on youtube shortly. Enjoy!

Known bugs:

-Collision detection is imprecise

-Issue with the time showing properly once the minutes reach double digits

EDIT: 17/12 - I've replaced the Windows installer with a standalone executable in a ZIP file.
