Gameplay related to the theme really nicely :) overall, great job. If I had to say anything, sometimes the gameplay felt a little difficult due to the physicsy nature. I think this idea has potential for expansion - would make a great touch game!

It's a good game; it just needs more work (and levels!)\r\r...and a proofreader. ^_^;"},{"author_name":"Squidtank","author_uid":"35330","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 4:48am","epoch":1409114580,"text":"Very relaxing, and every time I managed to connect and saw the people rush over to each other I couldn't help but smile.

I agree with the top comment: a tiny bit more polish and you have a great lil' game here! I felt a bit like it should be a much shorter connecting phase - it seemed a bit "forced" compared to the rest of the game... I'd love to see a smoother transition between levels, so it didn't feel like levels at all... like there is no fade-out\/fade-in just new balloons appeared and the bridges came apart, and new bits of land appeared\/dissapeared all without the fade in \/ out - then it would feel like one continuous journey. \r\rAnyway, fantastic entry! Great tune too - fit the aesthetic perfectly."},{"author_name":"Natrium729","author_uid":"39258","time":"Sep 7, 2014 @ 10:09pm","epoch":1410127440,"text":"The idea is excellent, and the backstory is intriguing.
