it is a good in many apsects, but hard to control. Very cool idea though.

sick game

Was excited to play this one, the idea looked really cool! Though when I came to play it I was pretty bad, it was like trying to cook with sausages for hands. Maybe if the balloons were a little more controlled then I would have had a better time but nonetheless the idea is cool, and the art suited the game very well.

It's a good idea, but I didn't like the controls. They're a bit confusing and I keep reseting by accident.

I personally got really frustrated by this, but it’s definitely polished and I can see how it would appeal to the same people that also enjoy Flappy Bird, QWOP and the like

You nailed the topic! Controlling the arms was quiet hard to learn but really fun once you know how to control them! Had a lot of fun!

Pretty neat idea you got here

It is quite difficult to control the robot arm but keep it up!

Really nice game

most of the game is pretty good, but the controls are just too difficult and frustrating.

Was hard for me, but I respect it! Graphics and physics are implemented well.
