Balloon Slide

Its a simple idea I'm working on just now, "whizz down a slide picking up balloons". The idea came to me at 3am during a severe bout of flu, which is probably why its simple and a bit silly. The user clicks the mouse to draw a slide, the player avatar appears at the top, slides down to the bottom, and any balloons hit on the way go pop and add to your score. Theres a few elements to the game i'd like to fit in:

1. Slides should be generated quickly, just one or two clicks.
2. Scores should be huge, pinball type scores, 1 million should be a BAD score.
3. The game should be fast and exciting.
4. It should be possible to get in big loops like a rollercoaster, probably through item drops, to keep in line with point 1.

I just finished a basic demo today and took some screens:
