   Here's my first game that I've created, let alone in Cocos2D thanks to the forum's help and guidance. It's basically a tongue and cheek game about the balloon boy saga. Control of the run away balloon is through accelerometer and you need to avoid impact with news van antennas, fighter and airline jets, as well as some blimps and helicopters for good measure. It also uses OpenFeint for score tracking. As always, there's a lot more I'd like to have done but at some point I just wanted to bring closure to it as well.

   Overall I found this a good experience given my ramping up of skills and look to expand on this for some other upcoming titles.

   Thx goldplated, hopefully it won't be too painfully obvious at how new I am to this...but it's fun and a nice diversion from the day job.

   LMAO... I like it.. I wont be taking over as a balloon pilot anytime soon obviously. I think the theme is hilarious and all in all i think you did a good job on it. The only thing i noticed is when i have the game paused I am still able to move the balloon around and when i un-paused the game i was on top of one of the antenna's so died again! Good Job!!

   I think it's cruel ;)

   today parents of the "balloon boy" got sentenced to prison for their lunacy
   they have also been banned from making any profit from it

   and you release your game on the very same day, hoping to profit on their idiocy and misery :D

   j/k, I see no problem with making money off such morons :D

   LOL Mike, yeah, I couldn't have timed it any better if I had actually tried. It was meant to be released on 12/25 but since Apple said apps set to release during their itunesconnect shut down period wouldn't show up till 12/29 made me release today ;-)

   Genius idea, even if a little too behind the news cycle, but still...
