The briefing

About this game

Funny World & Balloon Boy combines two action games with distinct shooting challenges.

Funny World

Shoot strange animals, known as “funnys,” as they cross the screen. Different movement patterns—including walking, running, and erratic motion—make them harder to hit. Female funnys must be avoided, while limited boulders can be dropped to strike targets beyond the player’s range. Hit enough required targets to advance.

Balloon Boy

Control a boy at the bottom of the screen and shoot balloons floating above. Destroyed balloons release either traps or items; collect the items while avoiding hazards. Clear all balloons before time expires to progress.
