I really liked the idea and how the special object were implemented! I did have a few problems, like going up and down stairs was a bit buggy, and i would often fall down seemingly randomly. Also, while the idea of having to make sure the balloons wouldn't touch your spikes was really good, I feel like the execution could have been a bit better, as in the end I was just quickly tapping the movement directions rather than constantly moving. This problem is a bit hard to fix and I'm not exactly sure how I would go about it. Maybe it could be the opposite, you have to be constantly moving away from them and if you stand still they get closer, but moving from side to side wouldn't be quite fast enough to keep them away from you forever so you'd have to occasionally drop down to move away from them faster, but then I'm not sure how you'd keep them away while going up ladders, so I don't really know what would be the best way. Either way, I had fun playing and the idea was great!
Character is very cute and the audio is pleasant. I found the movement a little too friction-y since I would occasionally get stuck on ladders and fall through leaves without intentionally dropping (unless that was intentional, in which case I'm unsure why sometimes I can walk over them).
I enjoyed finding the balloons and rescuing them but I wish there was some type of indication where they are because it was a little tedious exploring the entire map to find them.
Overall I love the main character and his balloon friends!
ADORABLE CHARACTER
