Absolutely love this. I love "put things together and see what happens" kinds of physics games. Really hope you continue to tweak things and fix the things you meant to.
A suggestion - I'd love it if RP saved your max so you don't have to abort. I enjoy watching the squirrel fall comically down. It'd also be nice if balloons automatically exited "connection" mode after you've connected them, just because it's a little awkward and I tend to forget even though I know better.
It'd also be cool if you could save ship designs so you can modify them or try again, but that's more a request and I know that'd be too much work for a jam.
If you're curious, at the time of writing, this is my fav ship so far. It initially had balloons on top too, but birds took that out pretty quickly. Eventually birds got in and took me out, but I got over 200m before that happened. XD
