A downloadable game

This is a simple, fun, single player game. The goal is to hit as many balloons of the correct color (which changes every few seconds) as possible and thus accumulate the highest possible score. The game consists of three levels of difficulty (easy, medium and hard, with 2, 4 and 6 colors of balloons respectively) and three time durations (1, 2 and 3 minutes). You earn points by left-clicking balloons of the correct color, while you lose points if you hit a wrong-colored balloon or click on another part of the playing area where there is no balloon (careless and pointless clicks are penalized). The smaller and faster the balloon, the more points you get in case of a correct aim, while in case of a wrong aim you lose points in the reverse logic i.e. it is better to make a mistake with a small and fast balloon than with a big and slow one). During the game you can right-click to pause and then choose whether to resume the game, restart it, or start a new one. Finally, you can change several of the default game parameters by going to "Game settings" in the "Options" menu. Good luck!!!
