I like the concept and would love to see more done with it, but in its current state I think it needs more refinement. The 'out of control' doesn't really work once you realize you can keep the balloon in complete control by holding down the mouse. I did really like the later introduction of lightning hazards, as well as the overall aesthetic of the game.

this was fun once I figured out how to move the balloon.  I liked that you could make a long track for it to remember and follow.  Great graphics.  I did discover that if you used the D key, it showed some of your coding

Cool game! It's a bit too easy and I think more of the game should have been more "out of control" to fit the theme, but other than that, a solid entry to the jam!

If you want, please check out my submission.

Yeah, it's a little too easy. Imagine how much fun it would be if you made things more out of control such as by adding in wind and lightning, that be awesome!

I like the idea of the game, I just was struggling to figure out how I could actually lose. It'd be a cool game to play on a phone I think.

Cute and easy game, some sounds could add to it and  the balloon could be more hard to control. nice job overall!

Submitted

art looks really well ! controls and game-play  could be little polished but well for a 48 jam ! :)

Interesting controls. Although they could be cheated by basically hovering over the balloon which made the whole game even easier. Nice effort considering the constraints of a game jam though. :)

Interesting game. Felt a bit too easy but it was fun non the less :)

Nice take on the theme! Could be even more uncontrollable

A bit out of theme, but liked the presentation!

Fun basic little dodging game. Audio would have been nice, of course. I really like your control scheme, the hot air balloon feels very responsive. I didn't get the connection to the theme, the hot air balloon seems to be very much in control.

Really cool! The design and gameplay of the balloon are really good. Good job!

Interesting game, I accidentally clicked on your name and couldn't get back to the game.
