Everything from the graphics to the gameplay, and the music!! Who would have thought that guiding a balloon would be this much fun? ^^ For improvement: I would have liked more faces to choose from (this mechanic was great btw) and had it been cool if you needed to design a new balloon each time it died? And at the end a memorial sermony for every ballon that died trough the game? I'm just making ideas. Really cool game!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SamurGuy","author_uid":"1183305","time":"2020-04-21T14:58:32Z","epoch":1587481112,"modified":1587481112,"text":"This is the most fun game iv'e played this Ludum Dare. i really love the premise and the difficulty. one thing i would say is that the hit boxes are a little big and the screen a little too small. the game size is also pretty nice considering the time limit. audio fits the game and so do the graphics. awesome game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Historymaker118","author_uid":"1014434","time":"2020-04-21T15:03:55Z","epoch":1587481435,"modified":1587481435,"text":"Interesting game, really nice art music and UI design.

Clever use of physics for a balloon.  I love phaser.js by the way.  I also loved customizing my balloon and adding my name to the name tag.  I didn't realize there was a space to add my name at first and had to click back to add it.  I think the balancing was good and was appropriately challenging to keep me interested without it seeming impossible.  I stuck with it until I got to the laser level which I could not figure out after a few tries -- but the game was crafted in a way to make me want to go back and try again.  I might add a \"hooray\" sound effect and maybe animation after beating each level -- but I love positive reinforcement for any achievement.  Well done and I hope you continue developing this!","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/191180-c419a628c559bf65397a00efd7e9f9c4.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/fatlewis\/ludem-dare-46\/","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/fatlewis.github.io\/ludem-dare-46\/","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"57155","g_author":"1178076","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"266142","g_title":"Mission Impoppable","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"434","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"191180","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"191180","n_urlkey":"266142","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/mission-impoppable","n_slug":"mission-impoppable","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"178076","n_created":"1587141907","n_modified":"1587429899","n_version":"601544","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":191180,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":178076,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-21T00:44:59Z","created":"2020-04-17T16:45:07Z","modified":"2020-04-21T00:44:59Z","version":601544,"slug":"mission-impoppable","name":"Mission Impoppable","body":"## Background\n\nThey're light on their feet with a colourful history and not afraid to go out with a bang.
