Nice little toy, funny and stylish character design and artworks, the voice acting is also very funny, and the game is already a nice to play distraction.
Right now, obviously, there is no purpose to the money you make, it's just a click and hold to play the game, and that's fine as it is as a concept.
However, I feel like you could do a bit more with the gane by making a very simple change: make it a local 1v1 mini game, where you play against a friend to see who can sell the most balloons in a certain time limit maybe. The change is quite simple, you add another stand on the right, and makd the game play with the keyboard (use 2 different keys to inflate the balloon), and could make for a little fun minigame to play with a friend.
Also, even though the artstyle is part of the fun and style of the game, I'd suggest you not to scale the sprites of the stand too much, maybe keep everything at the same scalr so that the outlines of the sprites are not incontinent.
Other than this little adjustment, I think the game is very nice as it is already, good job!
Thank you so much for this great little entry into the jam!
Actually, the most interesting part is the clown design and the fact he is mocking the player
RATE BACK PLS :)
I liked it. Pretty simple but fun 'n hilarious!
Not terrible for 20hours especially that you had to draw everything yourself. Theme interpretation is good. I like the presentation enough. The drawings are good and music and dialog clips fit the vibe of the game. I missed some effect of popping the balloons (maybe some particle system) and some signs that the balloon is ready to pop.
The mechanics are simple but would be enough with some polish. There is no way to now when the balloon is good and the window is very small. This makes the game more frustrating than fun.
Anyway, congrats on finishing the game and submitting, it is allways a victory to do that :D. Please check out our game!
okay, a short, not really fun game of trying to make a balloon big enough, fits with theme, but not much.
the clown looks like something in horror, I actually thought that if I fail and the balloon pops, then it would end with a clown jumpscare.
but that didn't happen.
overall, a good attempt, I've seen better, but I do understand that this game was made within roughly 20 hours.
I entered the Game Jams Yesterday so I made this with around 20 hours total dev time :D
Hope yall enjoy <3
