I am intrigued with the number of gameplay mechanics you implemented into this game from blowing up the balloon to switching to the robot to activate levers, the artwork and music are really decent, all-around good job!

Developer

It was a tough ride toward the end to make sure all our mechanics were functional! Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you were able to enjoy so much of our game! ∑d(^∀^d)

Very fun game !The only reproach I can have is that I couldn't identify what was a spike before it sting my balloon.

Developer

Thanks for enjoying! The hazards do look pretty, so it's not quite as clear what they are, but thankfully you still get to learn what they are all the same, haha =p=

beautiful artwork and innovative gameplay!

level design could use a bit work, because there were times I had no idea where I was supposed to go.  the controls would probably feel nicer if the character with the balloon is able to walk when on the ground, instead of staying still, because you often hit the ground.

one more thing is that waiting for every scene to load was very long and I eventually got a little tired of it (even just going to the menu)

Developer

OHHH LORDY THE LOADING TIMES WERE REALLY BAD WE'RE SO SORRY. We only fixed them after the deadline was due ~.~ so unfortunately the masses didn't get to play through a more unimpeded game, but it's great that you were able to enjoy the other aspects too! Will admit that the difficulty curve was a bit steep though (=▽=;;)ゞ

Developer

Also, thank you! I'm not the artist but they put a ton of effort in, so I'm glad it showed!

Developer

Very cool game and all that... but my weirdly favorite thing is the gargantuan maximum size of the balloon. I really, really love that you can scale it up to such a goofy size

Developer(+1)

I know, right? What's the fun in a scale-based game if you don't get to push it to its extremes? Glad you loved it!

Very cool idea and very well executed, congrats! I really enjoyed playing it :D

Developer

Thank you greatly! It was a pretty intense stretch but I'm glad it was stable enough for you to enjoy ^^
