Fun concept! I liked the levels I played through, but had quite a lot of trouble with the green level x), it was still a fun experience, congratulation for making this :D

I enjoyed this game, 

Initially it is weird that you have to be moving upwards to move , but eventually you get used to that.

I also found a bug that stopped the game from working, and it was in the first appearence of the blue buttons where after completing the room and going up i died and couldnt respawn. 

I did really enjoy the concept and the baloon sprites. This is definitely quality and im not sure if intentional feels like a good rage game as well.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Sorry about the bug. I'll investigate it once the jam is over. Thanks again!

fun to play but i found a bug that was annoying because the game stopped working well and i needed to restart.    

Developer

Thank you for giving it a go! I'm sorry you experienced a bug. Is there anything I should know  in order to fix it?

Another game that brings me back to my old flash games! Very well done!

Love the main concept, the game flows super well and the navigation is challenging but satisfying when you get it right! The art is also very charming, especially Barry's expressions as he inflates. Might just be me but I had a bug where sometimes tapping right mouse button would cause him to inflate constantly until he was full. Overall a very solid concept and well executed game!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! I'm sorry you had that bug, I'll look into it when I get a chance. Appreciate the feedback!

Nice game, it fits nicely with the theme!

the concept itself may justify a commercial game, and I loved the fact that you multiplied the way to play it (arrow, wasd, mouse)!

Overall I would prefer a faster tempo because dying in some level can get quit annoying and the tail sometime get stuck, but overall I had fun!

Good jam!

Developer

Thank you for giving it a go! I agree, it can get quite annoying when dying on the last level especially (I've become too good at that level lol). As far as the tail goes, yea I probably should've just removed the colliders, but I couldn't let go of the "threading the needle" gimmick on level four. Thanks again for the feedback!

Great game! However, the tail gets stuck multiple times. It would've been better if it had no collider.

Good job, tho!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and I appreciate the feedback! The tail was a tough thing to deal with. Eventually I ended up making it so only the end of the tail has a collider so it would get stuck less and still be able to press buttons. Luckily the tale getting stuck doesn't impair the movement of the player so it just looks wonky when it does. Thanks again!
