What an awesome game! Definitely hard, but it had me hooked, and I had to play more.

Really enjoyed the weird physics, made the gameplay more innovative, though I did feel like the difficult was pretty hard, maybe not have the trees being able to pop the balloons would make the difficulty balanced. Great low poly art style.

Such a simple thing as a balloon, but so much drama output) That blue bird gave me some hard times. Not to mention the drones

Really loved this one! I just wish it was a bit less trial and error with the waving tentacle at the end. Both times I died for not seeing it coming, but glad there was a check point and it was short enough~

Nice gameplay idea. I like the graphical style and music. A bit lower difficulty would have done wonders for this game. Good job!

No music rating?! I like your music! Especially before the endboss. It reminds me of old RPGs ^^ The Boss battle is hard and had to be played many times xD I like your idea, but the physics are a little off. This game is a good one!

Haha I for one like the crazy physics. Well done on this, a solid game, nice and self contained. I didn't even make it past the birds!

the graphics considering the time span are absolutely ridiculous! I also feel that the difficulty is a bit on the trial-and-error side but most of my personal frustration was from the respawn time once you got to the fish/kraken level (it had to run to the dark thunder stage before you could respawn every time). but this is still really good and the consistency of the wacky physics made this even better.

Something I haven't seen before. Very nice! Unfortunately really, really hard. You need to have a sixth sense to know where enemies are going to spawn. And even though the environment is nice, it's hard to grasp where obstacles are you need to avoid. The balloon is very hard to control.

All-in-all I like the idea and it looks nice. Well done! But it was way to difficult for me.

That was really delightful. I definitely hit the balloon with my propeller a couple of times though. Thank goodness its a fairly tough balloon

I would add crazy eyes to the ball! Fun game, but challenging.

Very hard game that I managed to finish, after many retries! The mood change, with music, weather, monster was suprising and add depth and emotion to the game! Congratualtion

Actually like the controls, feels a bit weird but fun, interesting balloon-plane interactions.


Early game might benefit from better indication on which trees/objects are dangerous and which are background.


The checkpoint was at a very good place, just as you start getting frustrated by repeats.


Very effective atmosphere change via music, visuals, boss foreshadowing and entrance sound.


Difficulty spikes quite a bit with the boss, can present too steep of a wall to want to climb. Would be fine if restart was a bit faster, or transition was skippable.


Overall was still quite fun to play.
