Hello from PieFed! !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io is never tied down to one platform, so I'm trying to post from my PieFed account today. Let me know if anything broke. I actually wrote alt text for this image, but I don't know if it's viewable.

The Balloon Fight spin-off Balloon Kid was a launch title on the Game Boy about 34 years ago this week in North America. This Japanese game didn't get released in Japan until its ports years later, first to the NES as Hello Kitty World, then to the Game Boy Color as Balloon Fight GB. Alice can freely blow up balloons and fly with them in an otherwise standard 2D platform game where everything is trying to kill you.

It's janky early adopter stuff, but I like its design so far. Art subreddits like this look really good in PieFed's tile views. Currently, PieFed can't view who upvoted something, but nothing stops someone from opening the same post in Lemmy or Mbin and seeing the upvotes there. I haven't tried interacting with PieFed-native communities yet, and I don't know if Mbin's microblog-type posts work on PieFed.

Hi there! I'm test driving posting from a PieFed account with the same crosspost I also crossposted to the Lemmy.world's Touhou community yesterday. Let's see what happens.
