This is one of the best games I've played in this jam. Good job!
Thanks for the very kind words! :D
This is amazing! The last level drove me crazy. But I managed to beat it after a while.
Thank you! Yep, the last two levels are reallyyy challenging, but not impossible! Thanks for finishing it!
My fav game so far eeeeasily
Simple concept, well executed, addictingly challenging. Lots of levels. Honestly idek what to add.
I think maybe one small note is that the floating spike platforms sorta read like clouds? But thats a pretty minor gripe since you learn what they are immediately.
Great entry!!!
You made my week with this comment! There are tons of really awesome entries this jam.
And yeah I can definitely see the spikes looking a little cloudy, but thanks for the feedback!
I’ve finished it, and I have to say it’s awesome! The game is very easy to understand and quite challenging; I loved it. Everything is clear and consistent, truly a great job. Congratulations!
Way to go finishing it! After seeing a few friends play it, they seem to say the last 2 levels are pretty challenging/borderline impossible.
Thanks for the feedback though!
Really nice! Fun little idea and executed well. Floaty Boy is the perfect name for it too. Good work
Thanks so much! Floaty Boy was actually a placeholder name but it somehow was never changed haha
I love it! Very charming, lots of polish, and I had a lot of fun playing through each level and getting all the coins!
Thanks for playing! Getting through all the levels is no small feat!
Difficult little game, but I had fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the balloon animation :)
Thanks for playing! I was worried it may have been too difficult.
Really fun game, I'm in love with the balloon popping animation. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback! The balloon popping is oddly satisfying
The tension created by managing the lifespan of the balloon and the impossibility of going back up made this a lot of fun! I also enjoyed how the premise of the game was subverted in a couple of levels in a way that still felt strongly tied to it.
Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you noticed the tension I tried to create with the balloon mechanic. The majority of my time was spent designing levels and it was tons of fun, so I’m glad you had a good time playing through it.
The game and mechanics were excellent.
Thank you for your kind words.
I really like the floating mechanic, especially when you have to use it in those narrow bits with spikes. I spent like ten-fifteen minutes trying to complete the last level, it's quite hard, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Keep it up!
The main mechanic of floating using Space is kinda hard to learn and unintuitive but once I got it, I realize it's a really cool and unique mechanic and the game feels really awesome to play! But the second section of the last level is really hard tho when the first section already provide quite a challenge.
Dude, this game is amazing. That intro scene with the music … pure gold. I was just about to rage quit on the last level, but managed to beat it and I was so proud of myself. Good job!
Thanks so much man! I still feel like the last level was a bit too difficult, the last section in that level with the moving spikes still makes my blood boil whenever I play it.
Exactly 😅! I think you should make more levels in the future and a level selection as well! Maybe even add a time + retry counter to the levels
👏 congrats for your game! I love the idea to explode the ballon when you pushing space too long: you get a reward (going up a bit) but you can explose the ballon by using it too much. Smart game design idea!
