Up Up and Away is an "avoid 'em up" with a nice, relaxing atmosphere but a ridiculously punishing level of difficulty. Floating through the sky in a beautiful balloon was never so stressful! Let's Play! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0-OlHaXcLQ

I remember this being fun and cute. Off to play it.

Hot-air ballooning isn't the most obvious topic for an action-packed game, but this sideways scroller is an interesting and challenging enough distraction. Plenty of obstacles to avoid and targets to hit for bonus points, plus management of one's fuel and sandbag resource made for a reasonable challenge.
