Even with the saws and wall smacking (very funny sound effect by the way-) the atmosphere of the game was very pleasant and dreamy- the music especially was nice to listen to. A wonderful narrative to sit through as well!
I liked the game, though it was more of an interactive experience than a game. Gameplay felt repetitive and very hard as I could not see what obstacle was next until it was too late and inevitable. The message you conveyed was still good and interesting to listen to. The art was pleasing to look at as well and the sounds and music was good (ha, good one with hitting the walls).
Personally, for a game jam, I'd suggest focusing more on the gameplay.
I enjoyed a lot the experience :)
The story that you tell really brings the game to another dimension and pushes the player to stick to hear the rest, like little cliffhangers !
Congrats on the game!
Cheers
That was a very personal game. Amazing. The game was fun, had great graphics, good game feel with bloom particle effects and screen shakes but the narration really got everything right. Thanks for this experience.
Please take some time to play and rate my game as well. I would really appreciate it! Thanks a lot!
Wow, I wasn't expected to have fun controlling a balloon, great job!
One thing was off for me, the camera movement, idk why after I finished the game I felt kinda tired, because of how fast it goes.
After all, nice first game for a jam :D
edit: I forgot to mention, the pattern of the spikes was too repetitive.
Hi man, first of all thanks for the compliment and more important, thanks for the feedback!
I already got the suggestion to zoom out the camera a bit more, so I'm guessing it would've solved/lessened this effect as well.
Understandable, I sadly only got to create 3 different groups and some randomness, so for a next game, more variety will definitely be a key point!
Really pleasant. I enjoyed the nice message and I think the gameplay reflected it very well. Some of the parts where the sawblades led you into a corner were kind of annoying, but it wasn't a huge problem. Overall, very nice.

Very lovely little game! I really like the visual and the narrative. The mechanic is simple but work really well with the calm, relaxing atmosphere of the game. My only feedback is maybe zoom the camera out a bit, since you can't see a lot of the sawblade, it sometimes lead to dead end when you randomly choose the wrong direction to dodge.
But overall, very good game! Well done!
Fun little experience, although I got really dizzy because of the moving background pretty quickly. Loved the narration!
I also made a hot air balloon game! The narration was super cool. Great job, hope you enjoyed your first jam!
Really great experience! The narration was great! The gameplay was a little simple, but it helped you focus on the story. Nice one!
Really enjoyed playing this game. I liked how you only penalized the player with a push backwards when hitting the spikes. It made it easy to continue going and didn't feel too discouraging. The particle barriers at the start/end of a run were done really nicely, too. I like the underlying message. Great work!
I'd love to get your feedback on my game, also. Thanks!
I was not ready for voice acting!
good game, More variation in the gameplay would be nice.
