1.22! I would love to see a speed run of this game. The temptation to go fast is overpowering. One of the most original ideas I've seen! I could have never expected the twists at the end.  Hi Ollie :)

Really creative and fun game, i love it!

This game has potential, but the unsteady camera made it hard to see things; I stopped playing due to that. Good idea, mediocre execution.

Interesting idea. I think it might be interesting to have a more chaotic movement (considering the game is about balloons), but I might end up complaining that it's hard to control if it did, so maybe not. Graphics and sound were decent, music seemed a little out of place. Would have preferred a steadier camera. Level design was okay. Overall, not a bad entry!

I had a system where the movement would get tighter the less air you had but I scrapped it because it was a bit wonky. I have an idea of a better way to implement it where it could work but it’s too late 🤷‍♂️

Very fun game! Great take on the theme. Also the easter egg  got me XD

I like the sound effect a lot! Wish the camera was a bit more stable (but I do think the zoom in & out adds a lot of dynamics) bc rn it's a bit hard to see if the baloon itself is scaling or not or read any text on the screen.

More games need an Ollie button :) Fun level design against the scaling mechanic - only wanting to grab select cans of air but not too punishing

This game really blows :D great job, very enjoyable as a game also a bit difficult that makes it even more interesting!

I got my time under a minute! Controls were good, the only complaint I'd have is that the camera zooms in too far when you're not moving otherwise. Besides that though, nifty little game!

Developer

great job! I’m glad that people are actually beating it since it’s sometimes hard as a dev to balance things when you’re the one who design it lol

I loved the free candy!
