\"\"<\/a>Goob N Balloons DX is a single screen, arcade style action game.\u00a0 It plays most like Buster Bros., or Pang depending on where you\u2019re from.\u00a0 But it also has elements from other arcade classics like Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, etc.\u00a0 In the game you play as a weird alien octopus thing and you can only move left and right on the bottom of the screen.\u00a0 But by using the R stick, you can aim and fire shots in any direction to pop balloons before they hit you, because if they do it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 Goob N Balloons DX is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

The main mode in the game is Odyssey, where you have a map with stages.\u00a0 Each stage has different rules, like you might have to reach a certain score, survive for a given time, pop balloons in a certain area of the screen, etc.\u00a0 Some stages will even unlock accessories for you to dress up your character.\u00a0 There are different types of balloons that can do things like shoot back at you, explode and destroy all balloons, and many more. If you get hit by a balloon you must start the stage over again.\u00a0 \u00a0The other mode you unlock early on is Arcade, which is pretty much just an endless mode where you keep playing until you get hit.\u00a0 Two players can play at the same time in both modes, too.\u00a0 While the game is pretty simplistic, I still enjoyed it for what it was.\u00a0 But then, I do like these kinds of games.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goob N Balloons DX is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 Some balloons have faces and explode when defeated.\u00a0 If you get hit, a message just appears on the screen that says, \u201cWhoops, you died!\u201d and lets you start over if you wish.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
