I tried to zoom out, but textures started to look a bit bad, and I had some problems with the text scaling too, and I did not have the time to solve them, sadly. But yeah, it would have been better to zoom out, I agree. Also, the level you mentioned says \"This level isn't impossible\" :)) . So maybe I should change the text, because it seems like it can be misunderstood. Thank you again for playing my game! :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sol Roo","author_uid":"1005868","time":"2018-12-04T15:49:57Z","epoch":1543938597,"modified":1543938597,"text":"The game is beautifully minimalistic! \nThe controls are a bit painful, but I guess it would work great in mobile","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Gaming Night","author_uid":"1051279","time":"2018-12-04T15:50:14Z","epoch":1543938614,"modified":1543938614,"text":"Pleasant game, I like this kind of puzzle mechanics, where you have to show some skills on level design. Your game is promising on this side, even if it's short. I would say that the biggest problem for me is the movement of the camera that makes the aiming of the fans really hard. Also, the theme is barely evocated (although it introduces a nice feature). Otherwise, a little bit more of sound, a hundred of levels, and it's all good for me :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AmigoPadilha","author_uid":"1035748","time":"2018-12-04T15:52:41Z","epoch":1543938761,"modified":1543938761,"text":"Cool game!

The graphic is simplistic but that is what I like. The think that you can use fan even on other objects is creating interesting puzzle mechanic.

Since the camera controls isn't that great, I will work on it and hopefully update the game pretty soon. And about the theme, I did not have time to make enough levels using the popping mechanic (the other levels were meant to be more introducing). Thank you again! :)\n\n@amigopadilha Thank you! :)\n\n@gebowunjo Thanks! :D I will try to make a post-jam update pretty soon regarding the camera, since it seems like a fairly game-breaking problem.\n\n@gordy Thank you for your feedback :). If this makes it into a full game I will definitely add a level editor.\n\n@jkniest Thanks you :)\n\n@ragtagradical Thanks! The fans push the balloons in any direction (360).

I really enjoy the puzzle concepts you introduced. However, I feel like this is not really a puzzle game. To me, it seems a bit more like a reaction-based game, with fast and precise mouse movements required. Anyway, as you said in previous comments, a zoomed-out version where the screen does not pan would have definitely been better. I'm quite sad that you didn't have the time to do that, because I would have loved to see a version where it's not as difficult to click the fans when the screen is scrolling!\nBut, apart from that, I think the game is really promising and the minimalistic look is quite pleasing and supports the game's feel well. :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Frank Gevaerts","author_uid":"1103884","time":"2018-12-04T21:59:20Z","epoch":1543960760,"modified":1543960760,"text":"I like the graphics, but the controls make it almost unplayable for me.
