I had absolutely so much fun on this game!! :D I'm so bad at arcade-type games where quick reaction times and key sensitivity is important HAHA 💦 But I enjoyed this so much, I kept trying and trying even though I die within like 2 seconds > ㅡ< doh.
LOVE love love the parallaxing background! The animations are so SMOOTH and cute too (seeing the boy cry makes me cry TOO ㅠ ㅡㅠ) Everything is just so cohesive and polished, I can't believe it was made in a single jam! The music really adds to the retro-feel of the game as well~! Not to mention, I haven't played a game where you need to control two characters (the balloon and the boy) at once - my brain is trying to keep up with one LOL HAHA, so clever and adds so much more entertainment value!
I... don't really have any constructive criticism because everything was done so well! But... if there was an easy mode, I'd definitely welcome that! xD I'm struggling a little too much here..
