How does your game fit the theme?
You need to control the size of your balloon to rich higher platforms or press buttons at the distance trough tiny gaps, also i did the art direction to follow the mechanic and oddlyenough the theme with what i think it's pretty "Built to Scale": A Balloon.

are there checkpoints?
Muy cuidado todo el arte. La mecánica principal es muy divertida e ingeniosa. Agradecería algunos checkpoints intermedios para no comenzar todo el rato del inicio. Me gustó mucho el juego!!
El estilo gráfico, controles y mecánica me parecen geniales. Seguro que será un juegardo super divertido una vez se le pueda invertir más tiempo y se implementen checkpoints :) Gran juego!
great concept and execution! I never really felt the need to vary the scale of the balloon, which might fit the theme a bit more!
Very creative game! I wish I could respawn from the start of the room instead of the beginning of the game, because it discourages exploration and experimentation...
That said, I loved the idea :)
The idea is original and well implemented., the mechanics are ingenious and fit the jam's theme perfectly.
But the art steals the show, it's simply incredible.
Congratulations!
This game is sooo good looking !
¡Gran juego! Tu pixel art es superbueno y la mecánica muy original y está muy bien pensada. Una pena que no hubiera check-points, se me hizo algo frustrante, pero no es nada demasiado importante. ¡Felicidades!
Excelente juego! me ecanto!
Pretty neat idea, and absolutely lovely visuals, though I will say the death system is pretty unforgiving. Messing up one jump and having to go all the way back to the start is kinda demotivating after a bit, especially when it's sometimes required to jump on balloons directly over spikes. Checkpoints or just resetting to the start of the room would be nice! It would also be nice to have a little more influence on the horizontal speed of the balloons, as the bits that require pushing them can sometimes involve just standing there watching them slowly float. The mechanics are really solid though, I'd love to see this expanded, especially if it's in the direction of a Metroidvania-type game with different balloons as upgrades.
Nice game! The balloon mechanic is very nice and also feels quite polished altough it is a little hard to understand the use case at the beginning. The art style is very nice and the clown really fits the theme. Good game and very fun idea!
Your Game looks great. Unfortunately not having Checkpoints makes the game too hard to finish and I wish there was more incentive to use different sized balloons. For most jumps I just made them as big as I could
Really fun concept and execution!
I just wish I was good enough to finish it without checkpoints haha
Muy buen juego, una pena que por el tiempo no hayas podido añadir el "persistence", no obstante la idea del juego es genial, los niveles están muy bien pensados. Un gran trabajo!!
The art and sound design of this game is phenomenal! It's genuinely a beautiful game for such a short time period. I think the game is a little bit too difficult for me, but I still enjoyed the game! Great work all around!! ^^
I... didn't really vibe with this game. I played celest, getting over it but it never really felt like either the mechanic of blowing up a baloon was imprecise and felt kind of wierd, the waiting for the baloon to travel to a button was just the last nail in the coffin. The game seemed like it's trying to be both a game where you repeat a jump 100 times and a game that requires precision and carefull considiration.
Really well made, the art, sounds... are pretty good. The gameplay itself is nice however it's frustating having to re do everything when you die.
Great mechanics and nice art! I would have loved checkpoints. :)
Good game and great style! :)
This is a really creative mechanic! The puzzles are pretty good, but it is frustrating that there are no checkpoints. I think I was at least able to make it to all the rooms (or at least the ones shown in the screenshots).
