Like Playing a Monty Python Skit, December 10, 2007
by Matzerath (West Coast, Salty Smell)

In this enjoyable, extremely silly game, your mission is to unload ballast on a balloon headed for a live volcano -- said ballast mostly concealed on the person of your dull-witted, thick-headed co-floater.
The most enjoyable aspect of this game, at least for me, is that the reward for progress is the whole situation getting increasingly more ludicrous.
The puzzles are demented but solvable. My sole complaint would be that a few of the puzzles were solved by accident -- the game taking the initiative on vague commands and giving an advancing result, whether that was what you were intending or not. Helpful, but a little glory-robbing.
But, as far as humorous Interactive Fiction goes, this is tops!
