How does your game fit the theme?
The gameplay of Balloons! involves building structures to protect your balloons against a coming storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
with the exception of sound effects from zapsplat and the font from google fonts, everything was made from scratch, yes

Clever idea! There's a real sense of progression when you survive just a little bit longer and unlock new items. I also like how the game throws new, unexpected things at you. It does get a bit tedious to see the same things happen over and over again, wish I could speed it up. I struggled a while with that last tornado + lava combo, but finally beat it. The art was cute and charming!

Storm Before SupperWonderful game and you have to use real strategy to win against everything.
Tho I just boxed them in and that did the trick ahah, I liked everything about the game!
No bug at all that really messed up the game it was good polished! Well done!

Day Of The Consumeryeah i spent a long time trying to figure out how to stop the player from just building a box, but i couldn't come up with a solution that i liked in time. i think you still have to get pretty far into the game and be a little clever with it to use the box strat, though, so i'll accept it! Do try to come up with another solution, though! I'm aware of a couple interesting ones :)
This was a really good game; the puzzles were very clever. The theme also fits so well, and you fit so many storms in here lol.

Wings of WrathI usually don't like physics-based games, but I enjoyed trying to figure this one out! I got only to tornado though, and only then in the description learned, that you can block lightning with wood. Still, one of the best and polished games I played here, good job!

Fishing for StormBest game I've played so far. The art, gameplay, and sound are simple but come together perfectly. Well done!

Prepare In CalmVery fun and cute! Had a blast playing this! If this game were any longer, I feel like it would've gotten repetitive to look at the dangers without them doing anything to the balloons anymore, but it was short enough to not be an issue at all. Something like a fast forward button would be cool if you plan on expanding the game, but as I said, wasn't really needed here. Glad I played this game :D

Storms Ahoy!!!Really fun, well polished project. The progression got consistently tougher, and having to constantly reorganize my structure was cool.
This physics are a bit inconsistent, but what can you do with engines i suppose lol. Sometimes 0 of my balloons would blow over a wall, sometimes 8 would. Great work, definitely in my top 10 so far.

Guest NightFun puzzle game. I like how the challenges apear and you need to react to them with new blocks

FunnelbustersAwesome little game! You did a very good job at predicting where I would build my structures. Had to redesign my safe haven so many times ahah. Great job and congrats!
