Nice game with excellent gameplay, even though it must be impossible after 2nd stage (I tried hard but nothing happened).

Gas chambers make game more interesting, sometimes you need to think about it.

Btw game needs backround similar to blocks, they are pretty nice. Crab is kinda funny.

This is pretty good for a first game jam! That first part where the balloon gets stuck under the blocks and you realize you can't jump up fully is really cool. The inflation and delation mechanics could be expanded upon. Good job!

Thank you for feedback! :D

Nice game ! I was really impressed by the idea and execution at first ! Though they’re good, they could be better, and a few things made the game very frustrating.

For exemple, inflating the baloon made the rope longer, but deflating it didn’t change anything and made the narrow passage almost impossible to pass. And about inflating/deflating the baloon - the fact that the baloon can be blown up if inflating/deflating too much made the gases harder to use, and I felt like having multiple levels of inflation made it worse.

Still, you did an amazing job. The base concept of the game is good, the controls feel tight and the art and sound fit well with the rest. So it’s too bad the polishing was a bit lacking ^^

Thank you for feedback! I'll fix almost impossible place in a level and adjust gas mechanic a little bit after jam :D

The game is very difficult in one place. To complete the low pass part, you need to push the balloon there before the player gets there (jump over the gas and after the player is on the platform below, try to push the balloon furthe). Sorry for that. This is my first time making a game and participating in game jam
