The artwork is so pretty!! I love that as you get higher, you start getting faster, facing different obstacles, and get your lives reset/added to because you've evolved I guess. Fun game!

Loved all the art for the increasingly larger balloons! Fantastic job!

I really enjoyed this game, it was very satisfying and relaxing to play! Music was really nice! <333  Although the art style of assets could be more consistent with each other. The balloon evolution idea is amazing, but I feel like they don't grow, just become something else, completely different. The minimalistic illustrations without the black outlines everywhere would've done the trick and followed the flowy nature of the game and the elegant Asian art aesthetic.

I like the Asian art style and the gradually expanding grandeur!

On the other hand, I feel that this game is more suited to a story-based game than a game where you compete for points by introducing a leaderboard. I think it would be better to change the design to make the collision easier to understand, and to introduce randomness into the placement of obstacles each time, but I think that would spoil some of the good points of this game.

Nice and simple game with an attractive art style, good job!

Smoother controls and animation would have pulled together the look and feel even better. I don't think the "upgraded" balloons matched the simple art style as well as the initial one, maybe just smoothly make that one bigger as you rise?  Could easily be expanded to introduce further obstacles and maybe new levels in new environments to be turned into a full cozy 5-minute game.

I like the style of the art a lot. Thank you for making this. Gameplay was fun. My only feedback is that I wish there was some more skill expression as I played more and got better at the game. At higher speeds, it felt like I just died based on the RNG of being in the right place at the right time. 

Please consider playing and reviewing my game!

Great graphical style! I like how the obstacles changed the higher I got, added some variety and motivation to keep playing. Controls were responsive and easy to use and figure out; however, when hitting an obstacle (especially when large) I would be teleported back and not have time to recover before hitting the same obstacle over and over, which felt a little unfair. Maybe having some kind of invisibility frames when damaged or destroy the obstacle you collided with. The leader board is a unique and interesting feature that makes this game stand out; but game play wise, it doesn't do much to differentiate itself from other similar games.

Overall, a fun experience. With a good variety of art styles, the game stays fresh. The game mainly suffers from the easily fixable problem of hitting the same obstacle over and over. A little bit of work and polishing later, I could see this game being very enjoyable. Good luck!

Rocket balloon was make me fun :D 
Good job, the leadersboard is cool!

Simple and calming game. Progressively gets tougher.  No indication of health, makes it hard to know how much room for error you have and how many bumps you can survive. Leaderboard is a nice touch.

There is an indication for balloon hp in the top right corner though we could've made it a bit bigger maybe.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

You are right, I noticed hp yesterday at the presentations, my bad. 😅

Made it onto the leaderboard, so I'll take it! Those black holes got me for sure, I couldn't figure out how to avoid them. My team actually had a balloon infinite runner like this as our backup idea, so I'm happy to see someone made something similar. Nice work!
