Uffff it's so goood :D

Submitted

It's very cool to me.

Awesome game! I really enjoyed playing your game. The art style was very good. Without a doubt this is a 5 star game.

Submitted

Crazy hard but super nice graphics. I just think the background moving with the camera was a little too distracting but besides that really solid game. I wish I was good enough to get through it all but after my 20th death I just gave up 😭

Developer

Yeah idk about the difficulty, honestly it really seems like players either get a grasp quickly or never 😭

The background was something I was going back and forth on, eventually decided to stick with it since it was easier and I didn’t feel like changing it XD

*dies for the 32nd time*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

*ehem*

Wow! This game is really good! Very polished, and great art! Also VERY difficult! I wish I could beat it, but I need to take care of the steam coming out of my ears. I wonder why that's happening. Anyway, love the game!

Developer(+1)

Haha, glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Woah I got 3rd, based. Anyway this is neat.

Developer

Nice!! Some of the top scores up there are crazy, I don’t know if they’re realistically possible O_O doubt anyone’s cheating though  so maybe just crazy good?

Submitted

Whaaaat!?

these bounce pads are the most annoying feature of all time, 5 stars to gameplay

Developer(+1)

I’m going to take that as a compliment.

Submitted

Great game! I love the graphics.
Quite difficult, but I appreciate that you were generous with the checkpoints.

Developer

There were originally a lot less checkpoints but I felt like it just didn’t feel fair, glad you found it to be a satisfying difficulty.

Submitted

Very fun gameplay and nice graphics !

Submitted

Good game! The balloon collision is a bit hard to eel, and i think the camera could be zoomed out more. Overall good game!

Developer (1 edit)

There was an option to show the collider to make it easier to get used to but that broke in the build for some reason (?) I playtested it yesterday.

I think the camera size seems to be dependent on the game window, so if you have a different sized monitor or weren't fullscreened it could have been weird. That being said, the base camera size could also be the problem.

Thanks for playing!

very satisfying fitting through narrow gaps with the large balloon, not too difficult to master once you understand the hit box the of balloon, well done!

Developer (1 edit)

Glad you enjoyed! I am wondering if you used the option to show the hitbox as I know some people were struggling with the hitbox before that option was added, or if you just played until you got used to it?

*Actually nevermind it seems the option randomly broke, oh well.

Submitted

ye just got used to it

Very entertaining,  good use of the theme of the jam and nice graphics! 

Submitted

Floating like  a balloon like a pinball wizard...play on !

Submitted

Very good maze design. The game is very addictive and I want to play it again and again. That's cool!

Submitted

This game has a nice Super Mario World (SNES) sort of feel to it. And the gameplay is pretty smooth, everything works basically like you'd expect. I got 9mins 27sec on my first try. Thanks for making it!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed, and nice job!

gameplay feels unfair, especially the exagerrated bounces

Developer

If it feels unfair to play, you probably didn’t play enough to master it! Although mechanics such as the bounciness may seem like obstacles at first, by the end it becomes a necessity to utilize these mechanics in order to progress. This same theme of supposed obstacles becoming tools runs with a lot of the different mechanics, so I’d recommend trying to familiarize yourself with them for a more ‘fair’ experience.

That being said, I am still a bit unsure about the difficulty. There’s a lot of checkpoints but I know that people often struggle with specific sections. If there’s a specific section or area you feel is too difficult/unfair, I’d appreciate a description or screenshot so that I can improve it if I decide to update the game after the jam.

Thanks for playing!
