Realy a great idea for a game.
It choud use a bit zooming out when you ship gets bigger.
And enemys that spawn in sice in relation to your ship.
And more different bloks to build with.
And better enemy ai.
And different waepons.
And better building connections ( they are a bit buggy ).

But overall realy nice Idea that fills the theme Growing realy good, and is a s game concept not that mutsh overused.

cool idea! it was a bit confusing at first, but then i figured out that i was supposed to shoot with the mouse. i had a lot of fun attaching stuff to my ship, but then i accidentally took apart my own ship in the process of trying to attach another balloon. i liked it, good job!

Interesting game! The graphics were a bit bland, though.

Even though I don't usually like these kind of games, this one was pretty good!

Really cool game but it seemed buggy. My cannon stopped shooting after a minute and i couldn't attach any parts to my ship.

Nice, original core game mechanic. Although its a big buggy at times (hitboxes for self become ignored, lost the ability to shoot), it's still a lot of fun to build your own lighter-than-air behemoth. Congrats on a fine entry!

I really like the idea, with a little more polish and more elements you could make a great game, specially if made online. Good job!

Pretty fun, Neat idea and like the controls no sound but a little more knowing scoring or something to that effect might be good , Over all I like this game

Pretty nice game! it was fun and challenging.

Very interesting mechanic. However, the building seemed a bit limiting after a while.

couldnt quite get it to work, however its a great idea.

Fun challenging game, really fun, and well done with the AI!

I second Tusoalsob.. Zooming would be nice and the shipbuilding aspect is a bit... glitchy... Other than that.

SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

It took a little while for me to figure out how to play the game, but it is a pretty good game. The idea is clever. I loved the clouds in the background, they made the game feel more immersive. Also, this was an interesting take on the theme.

My main critique is that it was very hard to figure out how to edit the ship, I thought that I was supposed to attach all of the balloons to the original part of the ship. It took me a little while to realize I needed to put on more base blocks (the brick looking things) in order to attach more gunners and balloons. Also, I felt like the game was pretty easy once you had a few additional blocks on the ship. The amount of firepower which the player could attach was able to quickly overcome all of the enemies and if any part of the ship broke, it could easily be replaced.

Very very unique LD entry! The customizing mechanic was really well done and satisfying. I felt although the graphics were simple it didn't take away from the experience for me rather it added to it. Although there was a few instances of the game crashing, guns not working, getting stuck in purgatory when I died, and going "below" the level. All in all for your first jam great job!

I like it. I played it on the web and couldn't find instructions on the controls but I figured it out.
