The art looks quite simple and beautiful!

However I do not understand the advantage of going faster as it makes it easier to hit enemies than if I went slower, but by going slower it seems to randomly lose HP even if I hit nothing

It doesn't seem to fit the theme too much (unless you meant faster = stronger, however it seems to make you weaker in the current state of the game)

Looks and sounds stunning. Top marks for also doing code and artwork! My only complaint from a design perspective is that it wasn't 100% obvious that you had to click on the player to move up (I'm assuming it was because you build for mobile in mind? then it might be more obvious). Beyond that, nice game!

The game seems so hard to me... Tried to play it many times. Why should I get faster if I touch other baloons I take damage? It does not fit a good mechanic, imo. 

I like the aesthetic, art and sounds! They're pretty.

Thank you for your nice reviews Saeed. I actually  have changed the speed part and added some new menus. However , uploads are disabled for voting.

Your art looks breathtaking. Sound design is also nice. I enjoyed gameplay too but there are some problems. First one is it is hard to understand what is going on. You can add a quick tutorial to make everything clear. Second one is that game is too hard. I instantly die after getting too fast. I couldn't even manage to pass level1. I wanted to see other levels too so i would like to play if you update.

And did you get the inspiration from Cappadocia? Looks pretty cool how you implemented hot air balloons. Best wishes for you!

Hope you try and rate my game too.

Nice game but I kept dying when I got boosted xD

Love the looks and effects. It took a second to know I had to use the mouse but other than that the game was fun!

Nice graphics and relaxing atmosphere. I kept dying once I sped up, maybe I was missing something.  Anyway, nice job!

The parallax in the background was really cool,  I felt like at least in PC the game was too punishing since the beginning, so maybe you can start it easier and build up the difficulty. Also changing the color scheme on other hot balloons can make it easier to recognize them as obstacles, mi first playthroughs It wasn't clear if they were enemies or collectibles TBH, besides that really enjoyed your game, Great Job

I love your art style, it looks very pretty and aestheticly pleasing. The music is very nice and calm, which fits well. The game is a bit too hard in my opinion, mostly because the early part of the level already spawns a lot of lanterns. Maybe this can be a gradual increase instead?

I don’t really see how the game fits the “Stronger Together” theme however, and your explanation of “Adventure” did not help with that.

The graphics, color palette and music just top notch. Truly beautiful! I like the idea and gameplay too! The only i will say as a downside is the speed, when you speed up from the lanterns, is just too fast and the player can't control the character that much.. Other than that very cool game! :)

The visual art is very nice! good work! About the gameplay, I think there is a problem. I dont feel its clear if its good to pick up lanterns or not. They give you speed but it also makes you crash to other baloons. I found myself trying to avoid everything.  But on the whole, i liked it

it is really good, although I don't see how it relates to the theme

Everything is stylish. Like art, music, vibe. Have no words. Really cool. Everything is combined great.
Confusing, that I'm not sure how it's related to theme.
