Simple but really fun. Made me feel festive!

This was a really weird, but really fun game. It felt very satisfying to pop the balloons, and even though the game was pretty simple, it kept me interested :)I lasted 10 years btw!

I don't know what just happened, time suddenly vanished while playing this game, what a bop! Loved it! No notes.  -- Chris

So full of joy and whimsy :>

Gameplay loop is satisfying and well tuned. I think this might become the new subway surfers for me. Visuals are very consistent and aesthetically pleasing. Player movement and the popping mechanic are very satisfying to play around with. Loved this game a bunch!

Congrats on finishing the game jam :)

Probably the best game I've seen with a works cited page.

yo! this is unbearablyyy from twitch!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE EEL FR!!!! this was a short and funny and awfully specific kind of game with a simple mechanic - i almost feel like this is a great way to make a game like snake or slither.io much more different and unique if you ever wanted to go in that way! very creative kinda thing you got goin on!

This is probably exactly what it's like to be an eel and have a birthday party! Nice rope physics and satisfying baloon popping!
