Cool minigame, though the description in game is cut off during the second paragraph, so you don't get the full explaination in game. :(

we played with 4 people and it got passed 3-8 pumps and we got locked in the mini game please add a timer to the whole mini game

ケビョク That is a good idea, let me see what I can work up. Maybe when there are 2 players only, I can do 3 balloons, each of which take away 50 health rather than outright kill the player. That way they can play at least 2 rounds.

CaymanS, it is the punch button

Hey, it's me again :3 So I tested the minigame with 2 players, and I think it's quite short. Works like a charm with 3+ players, but I was wondering if this was possible to make the minigame a bit longer when it starts with 2 players.

Thank you! That was the inspiration :)

Awesome ! I really appreciate the quality of this minigame, it definitely has Mario Party vibes :)

Added a visual change of the balloon flashing as it nears its popping point. It always begins at the start of its "range", so you still don't know exactly when it will pop.

I get you now, yeah, i like that idea. It should be possible given the game’s existing mechanics. I’ll give it a shot

Thank you, I think I tried every button but the punching one :PhogsHappy:

What I meant is that when the balloon is within the range when it's likely to explode, there could be a visual change to increase the stress level ! But I don't know if this is technically possible.

Also there should be both a visual and audio cue when you successfully pump the balloon. You should hear a quick air pump noise, and see the balloon get slightly bigger. Is this not happening for you when you play?
Alm  [author] 23 Dec, 2022 @ 8:17pm 
Yeah i really do need to make the instructions a bit clearer. I wish we could modify the controls that appear with the game, but alas. Anyway, you pump by repeatedly punching when its your turn. One punch = one pump.

Also wouldn't a visual indicator its about to explode defeat the purpose of the game? It would hurt the risk taking angle.

Love the idea, but I can't figure out how to choose how many times I pump. Could you please add it in the description and/or add some visual/audio feedback in the minigame when pressing the right button/key ?
Also, and I don't know if this is technically possible, but it would be cool if the balloon had some aspect change when it's close to explode.

That feature is on my radar; I've been toying with a way to achieve it that doesn't mess with the game's visuals, but so far no breakthroughs.

Really fun minigame! I wish we were able to see the player order though, so we could plan our turn.

Thank you! My plan is to make this editable soon, after it ages just a little bit.
