In the game, the player controls a seesaw which is used to keep a pair of acrobats bouncing in the air to pop three rows of balloons moving across the top of the screen. To catch an acrobat, he must land on the unoccupied side of the seesaw, which then sends his associate into the air, depending on what angle of the seesaw the acrobat lands on. If the player fails to catch the acrobat, he will land on the ground and go splat.
