Balloon Tagging

A fast-paced, interactive Flutter game where you tag rising balloons to score points and stay in the game!

🎮 Game Overview

In Balloon Tagging, your goal is simple: tag as many balloons as you can before the timer runs out. But be careful—not all balloons are friendly, and missing them has consequences!

🎈 Balloon Types

Type	Color	Icon	Effect
Normal	Blue	-	+1 Point
Time Bonus	Amber	timer	+1 Point, +5 Seconds (capped at max time)
Punishing	Dark Red	warning	-5 Seconds penalty, No points
Freeze	Cyan	ac_unit	+1 Point, Freezes timer for 5 seconds

⚙️ Mechanics

• Scoring: Tap any non-punishing balloon to increase your score.
• Penalties: Letting a Normal, Time Bonus, or Freeze balloon reach the top of the screen costs you 2 seconds.
• Collisions: Balloons interact with each other! When they collide, the top one gets a speed boost while the bottom one slows down.
• Scaling Difficulty: As you level up (every 20 seconds), balloons rise faster and punishing hazards become more frequent.

🚀 Features

• Layered Architecture: Follows a clean separation of concerns (Domain, Presentation).
• Material 3 Design: Beautiful UI with harmonious color schemes, smooth animations, and responsive layouts.
• Declarative Navigation: Powered by go_router.
• Accessibility: Full Semantics support for screen readers.
• High Performance: Smooth 60fps simulation driven by Flutter's Ticker.
