What I noticed - the ball has a very strong friction in the air, making it hard to guess where it is going to land, this is intended? All in all: Nice little game! :thumbsup: \n\n(btw: if you vote others games you will get a higher listing and receive more votes yourself - about 20 are needed to get a rating in the end. It was rather hard to find your entry in the zero-ratings section.. :wink:)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AlbionBrown","author_uid":"1164712","time":"2020-04-27T18:05:25Z","epoch":1588010725,"modified":1588010725,"text":"Super simple and one of my favourite games so far!

I liked the idea; I think everyone has played in real life the game of not letting the balloon touch the floor.\tIt is a challenging game. Some improvements: background music, to have a better atmosphere. The balloon could have been more rounded. Other than that, it is a very nice entry, good childhood memories (yeah, I'm old, so I had to play with what I had at hand :P).","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Madbarron","author_uid":"1138827","time":"2020-05-02T19:17:00Z","epoch":1588447020,"modified":1588447020,"text":"It took everything I had just to beat the first level, but I did it!

Great concept & use of the theme. Surprisingly fun. The controls & physics felt solid and it felt great to get better at the game. (There was one small control-related bug where if you held down spacebar you would jump again when hitting the ground, which threw me off a bit a couple times.) It started out pretty difficult (and level 2 especially took me a bunch of attempts) but eventually I beat it. I wonder if it would be better to start out with easier\/shorter levels to allow the player to get used to the physics\/controls. Having both height differences & pits right off the bat in the first level was a bit overwhelming. This is one of those games I'd actually love to see a speedrun of, feels like the skill ceiling is very high. There's a lot of potential here. Great work! :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"xmatos","author_uid":"1019956","time":"2020-05-03T18:09:45Z","epoch":1588529385,"modified":1588529385,"text":"Hi. Liked your game, thought it started too hard, the sound gets a bit annoying after a while. Really liked the main mechanic, had fun playing it. By the way, I use gamemaker as well, you can use screen_save to get screenshots(https:\/\/docs.yoyogames.com\/source\/dadiospice\/002_reference\/windows%20and%20views\/screen_save.html).

We had a similar idea, it seems. :smile: \nI found it quite hard to jump over the holes with the balloon. I came very near the end of level 3, but since the game play is rather slow and the level quite long, I gave up after some tries.\nCongrats with your game! :smile: ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Pusheeneiro","author_uid":"1142642","time":"2020-05-09T16:27:08Z","epoch":1589041628,"modified":1589041628,"text":"Nice idea and good gameplay.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"limbo","author_uid":"1147389","time":"2020-05-09T17:41:35Z","epoch":1589046095,"modified":1589046095,"text":"Bit hard to play.
