How does the game fit the theme?
The fast paced arcade gameplay requires the player to juggle multiple tasks without any one thing going wrong!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Just the music for the balloon pop sound effect, game loss theme, main theme, and main menu theme.

really fun concept! some tasks can be done fast so I managed to do double :) was fun!
Thanks so much!! Sounds like u really got the hang of it, props! :)
Love the concept! And executed very well. Was fun trying to balance between the balloon and the tasks. Great job!
thanks a ton!! :)
Very nice game concept! I almost immediately understood what I was supposed to do, and it’s really fun. Great job!
Thank u so much!! :)
Ok this is harder than it's supposed to be :-)
Hahah yeah it's meant to be pretty tough :)
Well lookie here! Another entry (like ours) with a stratagem-hero (arrows) minigame. =-)
This was fun to play. I got to level 9. I enjoyed how the gravity increases and how I had to juggle balloon and tasks. It was stressful, in a good way! Great work overall.
Keep making games! <3
Always love to see another stratagem minigame!! Thanks a ton for the review, checking your submission out now :))
Really fun game, and a very funny concept! The frantic scramble to complete a task before the balloon popped got me chuckling good. Played it several times now!
Thanks a ton!! Was really going for that hectic feeling!!
It's a nice simple arcade game. it's pretty enjoyable and I like the fast paced back and forth to catch the balloon!
Thanks a ton!! Checking out your submission now :)
This was really fun and challenging! It took awhile to wrap my head around keeping the balloon up but once I got it things flowed very nicely. I like the execution of juggling different tasks and the art style is very cute!
Thank u so much! Really glad you liked the gameplay loop :)
I like like the balloon idea!!! It's quite hard!
Thanks a ton!! Yeah it's pretty tough hahahah
This was a really fun game (probably the most fun entry I've played!) and I think it was really unique as you were always doing something, whether doing the tasks or juggling the balloon. The only thing I would say is that sometimes the unpredictable nature of the balloon can leave it in a bad position. with not enough time to do the next task and juggle the balloon, however I think this was a really cool game!
Thank you so much I really appreciate it!! Yeah the unpredictability makes it really hard sometimes, definitely some tweaks I could make to the balloon's physics :)
multitasking was so fun! loved the mini games as well heheh
Thanks a ton! Love the profile pic hahahah
my best score is 7, nice idea
Thanks a ton!! :)
This deserves more reviews! The minigames are so well done and the pressure of the balloon falling is great. I could only get 10 tasks done.
Thanks a ton for the compliment !! Highest score I've seen so far :)
VERY FUN OMDS - Took me a while to figure out that you could move ballon lmao :l but i think thats j me being a goodball i love it :O
Thanks a ton!! Checking out ur submission now :)
Nice game but need dome progressivity to be more enjoyable, as it I died very quickly.
I couldn't fill the bar even though I was pressing left and right. But really cool idea, that was fun!
Oh sorry to hear that! I haven't heard that one, you were using arrow keys or A and D?
A and D, the bar filled to the top but never counted as "win", I always lost in that one
That's so strange! The code only uses the arrow keys and A and D don't even work for me, weird bug I'll look into it. Sorry again hahah
Sick game, got sweaty hands by playing it
really nice liked the minigames much
A very cute idea, reminds me of WarioWare, just doing loads of quickfire minigames. I got quite frustrated- I could control it with WASD, but a couple of the minigames only worked with cursor keys. I was totally bewildered by the 'fill the bar' minigame and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work until I played the one that's just a long string of direction inputs.
This is the one I'm hearing a lot! I remember considering adding A and D as alternate inputs for the mashing game but it completely slipped my mind before the final submission! I'll keep better player communication in mind for the my next project, thanks a ton!! :)
The idea is simple but it still creates a very fun gameplay, well done!
Thanks so much !!
