Description
Zip back and forth on a skateboard catching falling balloons on your head. Blue balloons fall slowly and pay least, green fall faster, and red are swiftest. A caught balloon takes the skater's colour and is popped for points. Balloons drop faster and pay more at higher levels, and three misses end the game. The article pitched it as easy for children and hard for adults at the top levels.
Controls: Left and right move the skateboarder.
