You really loved the game! Please publish it officially after the jam! Dropping a follow rn
Love the banksy inspired take and how smooth the pixel art for the baloon feels. Very creative.
The idea, although simple, was well implemented in this minimalist style and classical music. But the game wasn't very fun until the spikes started appearing, and popping the balloon and having to start over from the beginning was frustrating and discouraged me from continuing.
Nice game! the music is so beautiful ;)
that was cute, chill vibes and simple yet easy to understand concept!
simple, fun, great style, and great atmosphere. nice job!
Cute idea! The minimalistic art style is kind of neat, though the walls feel a little plain. Controls felt pretty good. Level design could have maybe been a little more deliberately, felt a bit like walls were more or less randomly placed in most places. I think with some more time to work on the level design, this could turn into something pretty cool!
I really wish it had a checkpoint because I would go far but would explode and go back to the beginning. And I wanted to try several times, but there came a time when it ended up getting tiring to go back to the beginning. But it was really cool to play, challenging and it kept my attention and made me want to take the balloon further. haha I think it could add some speed, sometimes it took a while to let it go to the ground.
A great game idea, and the game is pretty fun to play. A bit slow and some checkpoint would have been great. I liked the use of music and I believe it fit the game pretty well. The visuals is okay, but I think it would have look better if the background was less gray or maybe instead a super light blue. But overall a pretty good jam game. Well done.
The concept is so simple as well as nice produced! My compliments for your choice of soundtrack. It doesn't make me annoying in this game when I have to try again and again
Cool!! We made the same style of game !! Realy nice use of the narrative of Bansky for the game. Congrats!!
Nice! My only criticism is that the game feels a bit slow, but I really like the idea!
