Balloon Pop

Balloon Pop is a 1-player arcade game for the 8-bit Atari. The player controls a small see-saw that can be moved horizontally on the bottom of the screen. A character jumps from the side of the screen, and the player must move the upper end of the see-saw under the character as they fall, to propel the character on the other side up into the air. On the top of the screen are a number of balloons that the player attempts to pop by bouncing their characters into them. If the character falls to the floor without the see-saw properly positioned beneath them, a life is lost. The player starts with 5 lives, and it's game over when all are lost. There are 2 levels of gameplay, that have different see-saw widths.
