The idea is awesome : this gives a whole new dimension to the platformer genre, separating the health and the hitbox in a really intuitive way. However, the level design doesn't really do it justice : a lot of the challenges feel luck-based by putting the player in situations where he has little to no control (which is not helped by the physics aspect of the game).
A great entry overall
Thank you! 😁
absolutely fantastic. The checkpoints were very well done. One of the best jam games I've played, and platformers in general. It wasn't too brutal for me, and the difficulty was just right
Thank you so so much! Your comment put a big smile on our faces 😁
Great level design! Brutal in places though! Great idea - clearly some real skill involved in mastering this game! I wonder would an improvement be to enable replenishing of balloons instead of restarting? Great work! Well done!
Thanks for playing! Replenishing balloons is definitely a great idea to look into!
This was a really nice game, I love the art. Wonderful job!
Thank you!! This makes us very happy 😊
Fun and neat idea. Checkpoints concept was nice (instead of separated levels) which makes the game feels continuous! Nice job!
Thank you so much! We're glad you liked it!
Made me giggle a lot, love the way it has been presented, good job!
Thank you so much! 😊
Hehe- cool concept presented in a really fun way :D
Thank you hehe 😁
What a fun concept and so well presented! For some reason I went in expecting to have the balloons functions more as a way to reduce gravity and be more floaty so I was a little taken by surprised when it was not but the premise is till so unique and fun.
Thank you so much! Makes us really happy to hear this!
Wonderful game! I appreciate the balloons restarting at every check point, because I kept losing them uncontrollably :D
Thank you!!
So fun! Kept me hooked until the end. Very satisfying.
Thanks! We're super happy to hear that you enjoyed it! 😄
Great game! Very fun. So many spikes!

Good job!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sorry about the loud music!
It was really fun to protect the balloons and use them to get over hazards! The art is also nice and polished. Overall very nice!
