nice rage game, I love the wacky controls! the dog animations are really stellar. unfortunately, the lack of checkpoints deterred me from finishing it, but I enjoyed watching the speedrun by Florian Castel!

The fact you fly with the power of a balloon

I gave it another go, and I finally beat it in 5:05.15. As for the narrow path I mentioned in my previous comment, I've actually found a way to get through them consistently, but it took me a long time to get used to.
I really like the style and pixel art and the gameplay is very original. But it feels very hard and inconsistent. Many parts feel luck-based for me, especially the tight "shortcut" path. Since you can't buffer the inputs, you either have to mash them or time them almost frame perfect precision. Also, I would have appreciated some checkpoints. The fact that I need to take 1 minute to get through the "easy" part over and over again is very repetitive and time-consuming.
Hi, just finished checking out your game, the art style is really well done, it fits the game and the mood perfectly. The dog's animations are just too cute and the balloon wiggle is very cool. The idea is very original and it fits quite well the theme as I have never seen a dog flying with a single balloon (personally I went for a much darker interpretation, but yours is also really accurate :3 ). It could sound weird, but I think adding a timer really helped the replayability of the game, even tho it was quite difficult as some comments pointed out (if you are a hard-games enjoyer like me, you will enjoy the minigame my submission features, a lot of people found it too difficult). The music and sounds also fit perfectly the mood of the game, and help the game feeling a lot. Overall a really good submission, you did an amazing job by doing basically all by yourself, it is a big plus in my opinion.
Good luck with it mate, I enjoyed a lot playing it and mastering the movement! <33333
Very fun game! I really like the artstyle and the dog is very cute. This game is much harder than I thought it would be lol.
Really neat concept. Nice visuals as well. Think the controls could've been smoother though...
I like the controls, they made it very difficult, but also really fluid and realistic with the addition to the balloon physics. The artstyle is also very cute, and music although is looping is not annoying.
I really like the controls, how they are somewhat limiting, not in an annoying way, but a challenging one. Also, seeing the dog kinda wiggle his way around the map is pretty charming.
nice and fun game, it was just a little slow paced, but great physics and cute dog, i enjoyed it.
