Sorry but after about 10 game over I gave up. Too bad because the gameplay was being challenging in the good way but I just didn't know what to do anymore. After trying to cannonball on the whole (beautiful) ship I came to the conclusion that I can only destroy the baloons and remove a kind of forcefield on what is (probably) the power core but not destroy it. Maybe things need to be destroyed in a particular order ? In this case a bit more feedback would really help.

Anyway even if the sound is missing the mood and artstyle are really cool and the gameplay has a good potential once the rules are understood (and I don't think I really understood them :wink: ) Nice job !

Nice graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
