I'm so bad at these types of games, lol. This is a good concept that's well executed. :) It would be nice to have a charging gauge when holding an arrow button that controls how much of a push the balloon gets.

Difficult game at the beginning, the controls are unusual, which makes dodging barrels and stones very interesting. Had fun playing it!

A Taste Of Their Own MedicineNice work! Nice and simple controls and mechanics, easy to learn, hard to master! I played a few times, I think my highest was 21

2Birds1StoneThis is fun! I got 33 points. The way the hazards start coming at you seems really well planned out / programmed. Threading the needle between a barrel and a rock is super exciting. Feels complete with audio and graphics and feels like a finished game overall.

Shot In The DarkSimple little game that I was very bad at ;P
I think we used the same sprite for the red barrels in our game at first (and then it got replaced, like all art I put into a game ;P)
Well done !

Cliche HunterThanks for playing! Funny story - I actually made the red barrel art myself (although I did look at references); the fact that it looks THAT close enough to some other generic red barrel art is hilarious (doesn't speak highly for my art skills but I guess it works with the idea that red barrels are a cliche in gaming).
Following the tips in the below comments I was able to get past the first few obstacles. The movement felt fluid! GG

Cliche HunterThis is fun and simple to get into. I was terrible at first, but got the timing after a few tries. Nice Job!

Coupled Clichés - Jam EntryAt first I felt this is hard. Then I realized I can just stay at the bottom and move only left and right :)

Black Sheep in CircusPretty fun and engaging! It would be cool to see a visual indication of which direction you're charging up the air balloon. Nice stuff!
Submitted
BlasteroidsPretty straight forward game. I liked the movement happening on button release, it really gave the hot air balloon realistic movement. The background is really pretty too.

FishyFishyLoved the parallax and music and a unique movement mechanic!
Can't believe you made the birds blow up on contact with the barrels 😂😂
Great job with this!

Fish Out of WaterThis was a nice game, I could imagine it could be a nice game for spending time in a waiting room or something like that! Sort of like the Chrome dinosaur game :D
Submitted
🌿 Bet the Farm 🌿Beautiful parallax and nice ambience. I like the absurdity of the setting :D The controls are quite original as well, although they are a bit challenging to get used to in the beginning.
Thanks for making it!

Everything! (but the kitchen sink)What sell me is the graphic, the background give me such a vibe that I fascinated in every possible way

Too Hot To HandleThanks, yeah I was super happy with the background when I found it - the creator made a bunch more awesome free assets, be sure to check them out if you like their stuff! https://free-game-assets.itch.io/free-sky-with-clouds-background-pixel-art-set
