Love the art style! Very nice to look at, and a chill game to play

Really fun game! The graphics are incredible.

Really cool game and chill vibes, the one problem I had was when you got the speed boost you hit into so many other balloons that you end up losing most of the time even though getting the speed boost should be a plus, it almost becomes a negative. But overall, great art, idea, and game!

I feel the same way

The good: great music and sound design, pretty graphics. Decent gameplay.

Could improve: I don't like that zooming forward when I collect enough lanterns almost always kills me. It makes me try to stay at the bottom of the screen the whole time.

I don't really see how this fits the theme but it was interesting. I feel like the controls should be explained at the start of the game and I believe you should mention that the stone spires deal damage to you

Game looks very aesthetic, and the music is very nice. The only strange thing is that attempting the goal of the game (collecting the lanterns), makes you boost forward which has a high change of killing you. Most of the game's faults lie in that boost as the sound played is jarring and unfitting for the game. Besides the boost, the game is pretty relaxing to play.

I really liked the ambiance of the game !
But there are some points I may miss:
There is no time limit and no need to go fast so why would the lanterns make us do so, I feel like they are sort of traps because it often kills us but maybe that was on purpose ?
And the second point I miss is that I am not really sure how it is related to the theme "Stronger Together".

But this is really nice game :)

I loved the art direction as well as the sound design. It's a pretty addictive game despite a few flaws that are easily correctable. The whole thing is relaxing and it's still a fun and friendly game!

The art and aesthetics are nice! Music is very dreamy and relaxing, feels "floaty" like the balloon itself so I think it captured the essence of the game well.

A bit challenging like the others have said, though I think that might be part of the appeal of the game (e.g.,, it's similar challenging  yet addictive mechanics as Flappy Bird).

I was wondering what item was giving me the sudden speed boost? I'm curious if that was supposed to benefit me or hurt me, as I found it made me die easily (as I would ram into other balloons).

Thanks for sharing!!

Very chill game, but very difficult! Audio and visuals were very relaxing and cool. When you get the boost from the lanterns is pretty hard to avoid the obstacles. Neat little game! Nicley done!

I love the style, but the game itself is a bit frustrating, as it can be punishing. For example, if you get the boost upgrade, it’s basically a game over as you collide with every air balloon. I also sometimes lose health for no reason, but I might be missing something there. Amazing audio and visual style, though, big fan of it.

I liked the dreamy music and art. It was really difficult to control, basically impossible to not hit anything when you got the speed boost.

This game looks very good! I also enjoyed the music!! The gameplay was nice, kind of reminded me of flappy bird but more chill. Just a couple issues, the speed boost seems more like a good way to get me killed than a useful tool. Just a suggestion, but maybe while you are speed boosting you are invincible and knock other balloons out of the way. Also I seemed to take damage sometimes without knowing where it came from. I think it was the background environment but it just seemed odd to take damage from it. Apart from that I enjoyed this game :)

Really really pretty !! 
It is hard to see the ground obstacles (they seems to be in the background) and to dodge when full speed.

Realy nice game! Maybe decrease the speed-up boost but thats only thing! Well done.

Really really nice polish, the music was beautiful.  Insta-death with too much speed haha.  That is my only issue with it, but that is such a simple fix.  A+ job.

Submitted(+1)

Looks and feels very nice to play, has nice music too, overall a very nice 'endless' style game. However, the effects of the speed up powerup thing should have been halved or something because getting it is just an instant death sentence.

I like the art and the sounds but when you speed up its quite difficult to avoid the balloons

The art style amazes me! A difficult game, but very fun
