How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you join together balloons and crates in an attempt to control the crates motion. Adding balloons will lift the crate up, while popping them will apply thrust in a given direction. Through these two modes of travel, you can deliver the crate to its destination.

A polished and fun physics game with some well-designed puzzles, loved it!
I should play this with luck, But I'm not lucky
So much fun to balance the crates with balloons and to pop them. It is quite challenging especially to get the crate onto the button in between the spikes, but very satisfying once it is accomplished. Very well done guys!
Fun game! I included it in my GMTK compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thank you so much for playing!
Very creative interpretation of the prompt. Can be a bit finicky at times but you eventually get the mechanics.

One of the most creative uses for the attach rope between objects mechanics I’ve seen in the jam so far :)
great concept. i got the hang of it pretty quickly. i felt like one real missing feature was being able to attach the balloons to specific parts of the crate. the art on the box makes it look like you can attach things to each corner, which would have been a lot harder to program but made the game feel much more dynamic. i think you could turn this into a really good iphone game. xo
Super fun idea! It is a bit hard straight from the beginning though
its pretty fun, and its a very creative idea the levels are tricky but doable
I liked how you had to watch both the balloons and the crate when navigating tight spike corridors. I also liked how you manage horizontal movement by strategically popping. However I felt that sometimes the crate would feel a bit slow especially when I had to wait for the crate the settle on the landing spot.
On an unrelated note I wonder what that crate is made of that it can survive a drop but instantly shatter at the tap of a spike.
Great idea and execution, really nice to play this game :) I see a lot of potential for it
Cool unique idea, once I figured out you can pop balloons on one side to sort of push the box in the other direction it became pretty intuitive. I think the game has some potential for iteration, like a mode where you try to get the crate as high as possible with limited balloons. Good job!
Such a whimsical game! I loved the music it was very encouraging :)
Great Game
very nice :D hard.. but nice! the tricky part is to know how to get motion into the right direction!
Fun: Nice game! I liked the level design and you were able to make a lot of mechanics in the 2 days. One thing would like is an indication if the box is on the target sometimes I wasn't sure and it was especially annoying in the later levels with multiple boxes.
Originality: Very original and nice take on the theme!
Presentation: I like the simplistic art style and the sounds are nice.
Overall: Nice really polished game!
Hard at first, but after a couple try, it become kind of really satisfying! Great work!
Woah! Very great work on the physics. The game is intuitive to play. I like how new obstacles are introduced every few levels. Though I find pushing the box horizontally hard to achieve.
