Don’t ask why, but this game is everything its cracked up to be. For some reason, balloons are coming up the screen and if your giant head man can burst them, they turn into balloons with the word Ness on them. What Ness is, I’ve got no idea, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with giant quasi-mythical underwater monsters.

The basic story of the game has already been spelled out above, there is pretty much nothing extra to add to it. Balloons are bad and you pop them. Ness balloons are good, so don’t pop them. That’s all there is to it. Occasionally, what looks like a piece of bubble gum will fly up the screen – the bubble gum is good. It’s your ammunition, so collect it.

And seriously, that’s all there is to it. Oh, the whole thing is in Arabic, or some similar looking language, but except for “start,” which is space-bar, you really don’t need further instructions. The bar at the bottom of the screen represents, in this order: your time left; how many you failed to pop; how much ammunition you have and; your score. These can be figured out just by watching the numbers fluctuate. Anyways, this game is fairly hit-and-miss. You might like it, you might not. I for one found it charming to some extent, but I wouldn’t play it forever. A happy, non threatening diversion and should be treated as such.
