I might have to hold off on playing this game. I am not a fan of balloons bursting and it makes me feel very stressed and tense. This is practically a horror game for me.

I loved that you made this a two-player game, and I also want to compliment about how this game has a narrative and story to it, even if it’s just a little game. I can easily visualize and imagine that I’m playing with a sibling some kind of “the floor is lava” game (where balloons can’t touch the floor). It’s a fun game to play in real life with balls, but also balloons, if they don’t pop when reaching the ground. But yeah, I am a bit scared to have enough resilience to figure out the game here.

The rest of my feedback is I must confess I didn’t understand very well how to play the game. I think the tension created by the balloon squeaky sounds in the menu, while the instructions were playing, made me unable to focus on them very much, because I was scared. I think this probably didn’t help with me understanding the game. And even how to set up the sounds.

I’m sorry I didn’t play your game properly, but to each their own! I do hope you can get some feedback from other players. Good job once again! Pretty cool you submitted these two games, and especially a multiplayer game! Those are so rare for blind players. So I hope you can continue to experiment with these kind of games! You’re threading the path for a lot of people!

Hi Patricia, thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback!

It was not my intention to make a scary game. And don't worry at all about not playing it. I completely understand if balloons make you uncomfortable. Although the balloon "pops" when you lose, it's actually more of a deflating sound than a loud real balloon bursting, because I thought it sounded funnier. That said, I totally get why the theme alone would make you not want to play.

I'm really pleased you mentioned the multiplayer aspect. I only recently redesigned the game to work with just one button per player, and after looking around on itch.io I was surprised to find that, out of well over 1.5 million games, I couldn't find another local multiplayer audio one-button game by searching the tags. Multiplayer audio games seem to be incredibly rare too, so I'm glad I've been able to make one. 

Thank you again for all your encouragement. Hopefully you'll enjoy whatever I make next.
