Description
This is my first game in flash. I've made it after reading the Shootorials. Yes, I know it is slightly different from Shoot! ;)
I wanted to learn creating games in Flash, because I'm a volunteer in „Zwierzęta Ludziom” association. It's main goal is to help children with disability and in need of rehabilitation using special trained dogs. So I decided to make a game for association web page for our youngest guests.
The idea of the game is inspired by one of the real games, where kids play with the balloons with dogs, and dogs often pop it, with make a lot of fun. Photos in game are made in hospital, with we are regularly visiting.
I know, that my chance to win the competition are equal zero – it is not a typical Kongregate game (one mustn't kill anyone etc.). I'm adding it more like a thanks for Scion and Kongregate for making the Shootorial, and maybe, to read some feedback and make my game better.
I'll point that one more time: it is game designed for childrens, so please treat it so.
Let the balloons stay in air for some time, to make more points for popping it. Pop multiple balloons at one bark, to gain score multiplier .
Easy mode is definitely too easy for someone being more than 8 years old. Balloons frenzy is added just for fun ;)
One more thing, sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
How to Play
Left/right arrow to move the dog. Up to jump. Space to pop the balloons. Escape to pause the game.

the game mechanics were fantastic which is the most important thing. while i hate to criticize graphics, i can't stand the poor lasso job you did on the dog or the fact that he moves backwards when going left. this would be better as an abstract pong-like game. look through this to see what i mean. http://www.kongregate.com/games/pixelate/understanding-games-episode-1

Definitely points for making something that isn't a clone of Shoot, and I actually like the concept a lot. However, collision could be improved a bit (When balloons get to dog height, they bounce in the dog in randomish directions) and maybe a bit more lenient on lives, but I really like it.
