Overview

Irozuki Tingle no Koi no Balloon Trip ( いろづきチンクルの恋のバルーントリップ 'Irozuki Chinkuru no Koi no Barūn Torippu', "Ripening Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love") is an adventure video game developed by Vanpool (Company) and published by Nintendo (Company) for the Nintendo DS (Platform). It is a sequel to the game Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and was released exclusively in Japan on August 6, 2009. As its predecessor, the game focuses on Tingle (Character), a character from The Legend of Zelda series.

Plot

The game's storyline starts with an ordinary 35-year-old man who watches a direct sales program on television. He orders a book that is said to make its readers popular among women. When the man opens the book, he gets sucked into a picture book world. In this world, he becomes Tingle, wearing a green costume. Tingle meets three characters that accompany him on his journey to escape the world: Kakashi the scarecrow, Buriki the robot, and Lion the lion. These characters are inspired by the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Gameplay

The player has to solve many puzzles that require the wise use of the different abilities of Tingle's three partners. Kakashi lacks intelligence, but is small and therefore able to get into small places. Buriki is very intelligent, but heartless, and can cleverly solve puzzles Tingle's other partners won't be able to do so. The party's last member, Lion, is more powerful than the other two partners, but cowardly.

All of the actions in the game are performed via the stylus. Another central gameplay element is the romantic interaction with five different female characters. Tingle can get closer to these characters, and any other female NPC, by plying them with gifts through the Love Push system. This involves narrowing down what type of present they like through a trial-and-error system similar to Mastermind. Successfully performing a Love Push is frequently necessary for continuing the adventure and in order to complete the game, Tingle must have some degree of a relationship with all of the girls.

Unlike its predecessor, Irozuki Tingle no Koi no Balloon Trip is completely touch-screen controlled with the exception of a D-pad-enabling tool for its dungeon-crawling mini-game (which Tingle needs to purchase first).
