It doesn't feel like there is enough time to react to how high or low the balloon needs to go. Also it is unclear how much height you will gain from each item. Also, the restart menu takes too long to get through. The main menu is too easy to click through. And the failure state of needing to restart the level on any failure gets frustrating and it doesn't feel like there is room to learn the mechanics through experimentation easily without frustration. It also took me several tries to figure out that I was also the balloon in the back. I thought that was just another npc for like 3 minutes.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nanocube75","author_uid":"1122532","time":"2018-12-04T12:31:56Z","epoch":1543926716,"modified":1543926716,"text":"really good and the arts great aswell!","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Something Something Games","author_uid":"1113143","time":"2018-12-04T12:33:52Z","epoch":1543926832,"modified":1543926832,"text":"The graphics are brilliant, such a good looking game with some really nice details.

Idea of staying afloat by sacrificing stuff is nice, although I'd prefer having some more breathing time or slower pacing overall, as sometimes you die almost immediately before you have a chance to drop the closest thing to a mouse, let alone think about what you have to save. Same goes for interaction itself, as you rarely have time to do both lighter and altitude control. \n\n\nI'd advice to be more benevolent and forgiving to the player, and always remember about difficulty\/skill skew you get from essentially training in your game for three days straight vs me, the humble ludum darer who sees your game the first time ever, and has to see and rate many more. \nAlthough we all sometimes can be bad at handling that skew =) testing on other people during dev can help a lot.\n","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"IceGold","author_uid":"1134668","time":"2018-12-04T23:16:27Z","epoch":1543965387,"modified":1543965499,"text":"Such an amazing entry!

The art and sound is so well done, and I love the details, such as seeing the items thrown out from the actual balloon.

Also, while I love the drag and drop, I feel like gameplay wise it would've been better if you could just click on the item you want to get rid of - that way you could get rid of items in the bottom first for more decision making, and it would save some time when you need that boost right away.
