Based on the 1997 Taito arcade coin-op
Gameplay:
A collection of balloons are attached to clouds. The clouds move across the screen. When a column of balloons touches the edge of the screen, the clouds move down one level.
The player controls a familiar for his character, not your character him/herself. The familiar can release pairs of balloons towards the clouds. If a group of at least three similarly-colored balloons touch each other, they pop! The goal of the game is to clear the screen of all balloons.
If the balloons do not touch the clouds, they continue up to the top of the screen and disappear. As a penalty, the clouds will temporarily speed up. The player usually doesn't want to miss the clouds, but sometimes it's a good idea to. Any balloons below balloons that pop move upward. The player can create combos by causing balloons to move up and form new similarly-colored groups of balloons, which will then pop too.
