jams are the best place to practice new things! Sometimes it takes longer then expected I spent over a day in my game to make the balloon/basket (and especially the string) as realistic as possible (physics based).
So if you play it. It floats like a balloon. It bounces like a balloon, it glides like a balloon. And the basket reacts like it is being tugged by a balloon.
With the string conform to being tugged , etc.
