Funny enough it was very addictive. A good level of challenge, but most of all easy to pick up and play. Would have liked a height meter.

Wow! Beautiful game and such a simple yet fun concept.  Also strangely addictive too! The connection to the theme wasn't obvious but not a problem as the game was really well done!

Nice concept, well executed. I found the game to be a little difficult at first, but I got the hang of it after playing for some time though. I'd suggest adding some more elements and depth to the gameplay, as the game got a bit repetitive after a while.

Really amazing game. The physics for the balloon and log feel really good and the simple artstyle definitely compliments the feel of it. One area to improve on is the level of difficulty/rate of spawn of the sky droplets/asteroids. They can easily mess up a run if rnjesus decides he hates you but other than that I think this is really fun.

very cute!! feels nice to play. I would recommend adding a second balloon, to avoid frustration with staying on the log

Interesting concept! One issue I had was that a single drop of water hitting the platform could turn it 90 degrees to the side, resulting in an instant loss and a fairly hard game. However, a spam of bubbles off into the top right (with occasional breaks to refill the balloon) seemed to largely prevent this, and appeared the best strategy.

Very charming game. I love the attention to detail where the rain turns to meteorites the further up you get! Sadly I didn't make it to the moon though.

Original, nice idea... difficult to maintain balance ...

Fun game, but very difficult(wich could be a good thing.) Cool concept. Could have been cool to see how close you are to the moon. Well done!

Simple, yet difficult. Love this form of game design. If you want to see something similar, check out the game that my team submitted. Very impressed with this entry

Really fun and challenging game considering how simple the task seems.

nice little RAGE game.

Really fun gameplay!  Would love to see some sort of high score meter for how high I managed to get so that I could try and best myself.  It's also a little too tricky.  This is a charming little game!  Fantastic work!

very addictive :) I love the idea although it is very very challenging! I couldn't get out of the water

Short and to the point while non-trivial (balancing on a log and shooting both incoming droplets and the balloon at the same time can get tricky). To the moon!

I love the minimalistic style of this game! I think it could be a great hit like Flappy Bird. It's simple and ridiculously addictive and I like how you can stop the droplets with your gun.

Oh man love this one! Great concept and gameplay isn't too hard nor too easy either. Just perfect
