Cute, cuddly and creative in every aspect!
The adaptive music based on the situation is a really nice touch! It works great! The little cutscene and the graphics are really high quality too ^^
However, it's really difficult! When your character shrinks and the camera zooms in, it becomes very hard to see the enemies, making the game quite challenging. Other than that, it’s really cool!

Really enjoyed this one! reminds me of Vampire Survivors, but the developers had a very interesting idea how to breathe new life into this well used formula! The soundtracks are also bangers!!!
I quite like the concept! Definitely too stressful for me, most of the time I just ran around trying to fix up my body with tape. I had a very hard time seeing the projectiles, some more visual clarity (maybe white outlines or something?) might be nice here. Overinflated myself and died, oops. Still, a fun little fighting game, well done!
Very cute game with a unique idea! I just had a hard time visually seeing the weapon from the character at times. Overall looks really nice and very polished!
awsome art and gameplay welldone
Nice art cool top down action game!
Awesome
Very exciting and fun game, loved the idea!
I love this concept! The balloons were such a smart idea, and the gameplay was very fun!
I do REALLY REALLY LIKE THE UI AND DESIGN !!!!! Even though the game is quite simple but IT’S REALLY CUTE OMG <3
We do have similar game tho if you don’t mind check it out :))
Amazing concept/mechanics, super creative! Also the art was WOW. I found it hard to wrap my head around the controls for some reason and I didn't manage to collect many key parts, but I was defs boppin along to the soundtrack. Quite a vibe you've got here
Great gameplay design. It was a bit confusing at first trying to understand what was going on, but I like the idea that you don't want to get your health too high or you also die - that's a new idea I've not encountered before. Also that you can't attack if your balloon sword is fully pumped is neat, but not conveyed to the player very well. It does feel like it's missing sound effects or other visual feedback that you can't attack.
Trying to control the attacks was difficult.
I found it interesting that because you die if your health is too high you have to avoid not just enemies but also the power-ups that normally give you more health, it's an interesting balance.
Amazing artstyle and funny music. Game is quite hard or I didn't fully get the scaling mechanic
Super cute art stylee, love it!
This is so fun ! i love music and artstyle
This artwork is gorgeous! Fun gameplay, got stuck though, I died and kept shrinking, so camera zoomed in. And then I kept dying, (I got killed by a cactus top right corner)
Nice game concept really love the asthetic and music great job!
This game is awesome! i love the gimmick and gameplay, and it was thrilling to play!
What a great game, congrats guys!
