How does your game fit the theme?
The game's core mechanic is the player's ability to steadily "inflate" their head, thus floating like a balloon and destroying obstacles depending on its size.

Art style and color palette is really nice, but the controls can feel a bit awkward, especially navigating the second level. A bit confusing how D dashes left and A dashes right, instead of being flipped in their respective directions?
Well the art is clean, but i cannot find a way to finish the 2nd level, i don't what i need to do ahah (please help mee)
To beat the 2nd level you just need to press space from an appropriate distance from the pink heads and then move to the left or the right to get past the platform above them. In case you actually mean the 3rd level of the game with the multiple rows of pink heads then you can find instructions on how to beat it both in my replies below and the description. Thanks for trying the game out!
Game looks polished! Love the kind-of Greek vase-looking aesthetics with the color palette and edgework. Sound work is also A1. The only thing is I cannot figure out how to break these guys... :,(
May need to come back to it later but game looks and feels clean!
Thanks for playing the game!
About the these guys, breaking them is a bit tricky but here's how you do it:
You need to build up momentum by inflating and right after you pass the first platform you need to press D and SPACE at the same time and then let go of SPACE. Then when you are bellow the heads you need to immediately press SPACE allowing you to pass through them! Then you need to repeat this process of building up momentum, dashing (A+SPACE to dash to the right and D+SPACE to dash to the left) and inflating until you reach the end of the level! Also there is enough space between the platforms to build up enough momentum if you hit the one above so you don't need to perform every action pixel-perfectly from the beginning until the end.
Also here are the instructions in a visual format, I hope it helps make what I'm saying clearer!
Okay! I got through it. I think the thing that confused me was that the you needed to release space during the dash to break the wall. Like you can't hold it. Thanks for the visual and good stuff with the other levels~!
I can't quite get the timing for clearing the first pink heads without hitting the roof and resetting my head, any tips? Other than that the game seems really polished
If you are referring to the second level of the game I recommend dashing to the left or the right (A or D + SPACE) right before hitting the roof. If you are referring to the third level of the game I recommend dashing to the right (A + SPACE) almost immediately after destroying the first row of pink heads, then you can repeat this process of dashing to the appropriate direction and inflating until you reach the end. Regardless, thanks for playing the game!
