Useless and overpriced. It may only be £2.99... but Blue Ribbon have plenty of better games than this for the Elk, so avoid it at all cost. Read Review

Introduction

Buster the Clown enjoys a good laugh and something that gets him chuckling is bursting balloons.

His latest challenge is to burst balloons in a set sequence. Unfortunately, his colour blindness prevents him from getting a high score. He needs help...your help.

So don the red nose and join him in this hilarious balloon busting escapade!"

Get the red nose; the wig; the size 36 shoes and the make up and join Buster the Clown as he has a hilarious time 'busting' balloons.

Buster has a brilliant throwing arm, but he has a problem in judging distances. He'll be depending on you to control the strength of his throw so you don't burst more than one balloon at a time. Time can also be wasted if Buster is allowed to throw too hard!

Oh! There's one other problem. Buster is colour blind! He knows that the balloons have to be burst in a set colour sequence but he can't figure out which colour should be first and so on.

Buster is depending on your good eye sight and judgement in this brilliant yet frustrating game!

So go on have a laugh and 'bust' a few balloons!
