Don't Pop The Balloon
A downloadable game for Windows
A short horror game with a gripping narrative, made in 4 days for the GMTK 2024 game jam under the theme 'Built to Scale.'
Playtime ~ 10 minutes
You wake up in a strange room, with nothing but a cake in front of you. Your hands are locked, and your left hand is trapped under a hand guillotine on the table. Your task seems simple: blow up the balloon. But be careful, not popping the balloon might be the only way to survive.

Such an unsettling short horror game! Amazing job loved it!
:)
Thanks for the thrills!
this is also good:)
I can't believe I finished this game without one balloon popping in one take record (First Try). Lucky me
THE MOST CURSED GAME OF 2024...SO FAR AT LEAST!!!
WOW! I literally froze at the end of the game and had no words to say. This was the most haunting, depressing and thought provoking experience with a horror game and not to mention a game jam project? You did this for a game jam? SHUT UP! LITERALLY THE BEST!
I loved every single detail, the ambiguity, the subtle atmosphere and that ending needs to be investigated, it was bizarre and unexpected. Phenomenal job!
Best of luck with everything Eduardo and can't wait to play more games from you!
Thank you for the review!!
I loved the video S2
