Nice idea, but I agree with the others about the controls. Not much about the use of the mouse, that might work using perhaps a touch device, but because the balloon doesn't respond well. It takes a lot of gas to go up and drop down to fast, sometimes moves very fast on one side, other times you can make it move a few pixels to land on the tank to pick up.
Touching the wall drop you down fast, other times made me bunch a lot left and right between two walls.
If you polish the game you can make it interesting. It reminded me H.E.R.O. that I was playing when I was young, and I got frustrated in the same way for the difficulty to control it.
Again, fix it and it will become an interesting game to try :-)

Presentation was quite good but couldn't figure out the controls XD
Great premise for a game, but the controls were so difficult. It needed to be a bit more like ‘Thrust’ in terms of the controls.

Like others have said, they controls feel really awkward, I would have just went for arrow keys. It's an interesting and unusual premise though.
Interesting concept with potential, but the controls felt a bit clunky which detracted from the overall experience. It's a shame, as the initial idea had promise, go and polish it!
