How does your game fit the theme?
It's not only the balloon breathe to control, but also a love story teaches us take a deep breath to overcome the difficulties.

Such a lovely balloon adventure! Reminds me of a short balloon game I also once wrote (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhiD5T7444o). Thank you for having the gameplay footage. The levels were a bit too challenging for me to beat. Visuals and music were really pleasing in this game. And the story lured me in. Well done!
Interesting game, enjoyed it quite a bit, would have appreciated a checkpoint system later on in the game as I get stuck on one specific challenge. Would also have liked a bit more of an indication on which direction to go as I passed a difficult obstacle for me and then reached an area where I wasn't sure up or down, so I went down, and boom spike strips the entire area full.
Great game, really enjoyed the narrative in combination with the art and music. I'd argue it's a bit frustrating at times but that might be just me being to impatient :)
Amazing job!
Fantastic, the game really pops
Ha ha, thank you very much for playing the fifth level. It is our great honor to receive such comments from you. Thank you very much for your affirmation. In addition, as for the problem of the fifth level, our team did not consider performance issues when instantiating objects during the development process, so there will be a delay in the web side. If you want to have a better experience, you can download our games and play them on PC.
Best death animation award goes to you guys!
This is my comment as a player.
1. Love the narrative idea. Make the player feel curious to follow the story.
2. The artstyle is cute but maybe can make the obstacle more interesting instead of just triangle shape.
3. The animation is good tho can be improve.
4. The control quite "clunky". Need to make it smoother.
5. Overall, it was a nice game.
Amazing! Very fun indeed, great attention to narrative, with a personal touch and subtext. I agree with the other comment: the death animation is really good! Way to go! I think that after the death, you could replace "You lost" (in the narrative text) with "You blew it!".
That's more of a "relationship word", and also a pun. I'm a casual gamer, so I couldn't get past the 2nd level, so the story didn't develop fast enough for me. I expect there's the possibility of reinflating, eventually?
I loved the bold choice of metaphorical images to compose the narrative. I imagine the thought process was something like: take a deep breath -> we are like balloons in love -> we feel inflated or deflated by some romantic happening. Love requires energy, another word for energy could be gas, and so on.
Thank you very much for your review! We are not good at English. Use translation software for plot production. You gave us very good advice!
The second level requires controlling the size of the balloon to pass. There are all clearance methods in the video. If the difficulty is still too high, you can skip the level by pressing P.
I totally imagined the backstory about the girl! Awesome!
omg that death animation gave me a heart attack HAHA best drama indeed! 🎈🔺
