Animal Control: Elite Balloon Squad
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
In the eternal war between dogs and bunnies, only one hot air balloon can save the world...
This is an experiment in making a deliberately antagonistic bullet hell game. Veterans of the genre like small, precise movement with no momentum. You know what's the opposite of that? A hot air balloon.
I think it's fun anyway, and it includes some pictures of my very cute dog (she hates bunnies). Plus it's a danmaku on Genesis/Mega Drive which is neat.
Instructions:
Your goal is to rescue all four dogs by delivering them to the giant doggy door. Maneuver your balloon by pressing Left, Right, and C. When you reach a kennel, drop a rock on it with B, and rescue the dog it contained. Bring the dog back to the door, land, and repeat the process until you've rescued all the cute canines from the evil rabbits!
Your hitbox is the basket, so avoid letting your basket touch any bullets.
Technical:
This is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive rom. It should work on real hardware using a flash cart or in emulation. I recommend Genesis Plus GX.

Good game, thanks. I also added it to my Mega Drive / Genesis gameplay video I made.
Thanks!
This is the perfect mini game. My wife and I love these quick challenging games. Simple mechanics and charming graphics.
Thanks so much!
