Balloon Chase

Hi! I wasn't expecting to make a game for Pigsquads Party themed summer slow jam until I arrived early at the venue and realized I had a laptop and 30 minutes before the showcase started. Everything from the idea for the game, to the artwork, to the code was executed in this time (with the exception of the sound effects, which I took a few seconds to add in before writing this... the venue was too loud for me to do at the time). I'm very proud to say that this game had excellent reception and I'm very excited for whoever is reading this to try it out!

To play, grab a friend! One player uses the arrow keys, and the other uses esdf  to move (not wasd, pico-8 defaults to esdf and its too much work to change it for now). You are chasing the balloon! First to reach 10 points wins!
