How does your game fit the theme?
The gameplay of Balloons! involves building structures to protect your balloons against a coming storm.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
with the exception of sound effects from zapsplat and the font from google fonts, everything was made from scratch, yes

I like the simplicity of the concept execution, at the same time it can present a challenging puzzle. It was fun but I got stuck on the magma that suddenly appeared hehe
This is amazing game design skill being shown off. My expectations were thrown on their head and the storm was always one step ahead of my strategy. Really great job.
Very Cool!
I can't believe the final solution was to build a box (game is actually cool)
I enjoyed playing this and trying to work out the best way to put the pieces. Well done
fun game, interesting puzzle game
This was good fun! I really liked the design of the level. It felt like everytime I came up with a strategy, the next step of the storm would counter it somehow. Great game design! My final solution was a bit hacky but hey, it worked!
Oh, and I also have to say I love the attention to detail in sounds and animation and how cute everything is!
Very cool concept, i really liked how instead of making individual levels it's one big level with a lot of parts to remember and incremental pieces to work with!
Really enjoyed playing yours got quite far but it gets tricky, liked the challenge!
I enjoyed it so much, really cool concept, the mechanics and gameplay are fun, and graphics and music combine perfectly with the game, keep it up!!.
Really cool, liked how it would unlock more pieces the farther you got, unique and interesting game!
Love this entry! This was so much fun, saw you show this on your stream, really nice!
I really like puzzle games but a puzzle game this dynamic I love, so many choices, im sure this is not the only method to win.
This is so good so well done, a cute and short game like this just screams Game Jam to me.
(Wonder if this could be expanded post-jam :o)
The game's simplicity is its strength, and the gradual progression of tools and challenges is a testament to your creativity. It's the most enjoyable game I've played during this game jam, and I'm excited to see what other innovative games you'll create in the future.
Who needs a map
(ignore the fact the top right says 49, one balloon may have celebrated too hard)
ALL BALLOONS SAVED LET'S GOOOOOO
Honestly just very solid overall. Pretty much everything about this is a fun challenge and looks and sounds right. Funny dialog too. Great job!
Pretty fun little puzzle game. It kept me engaged, and I'm a little embarrassed at how long it took me to figure it out.
Very good game! Had lot of fun and the difficulty was on point (not too hard, not too easy). Great job for the gamejam 👏🎉!
Reminds me of coolmathsgames I used to play in school! Love the sound and graphics!
a spectacular game! it was polished like a shining gem!
every aspect of it was nice and i didnt find any single bugs during playing!
this deserves to be on top with other best games.
Love the idea of a puzzle game with only one level but the level reveals itself to you over time. Reminds me of something I would have found on cool math games and spent hours playing.
