  • Really cute little game, well done!
  • A very beautiful game - definitely got a feeling of the theme, and I like the novel control system for hot and cold air. It could do with camera rotation.

Really nice work on the game. I liked the mechanic of having the hot/cold wind for the balloons. Lovely visuals and feel too!

Great game! I loved the concept and the visuals. (And it was one of the few games that I was able to "beat". :-))

Out of curiosity, how did you do the fog? With just the fog setting (which I think doesn't work with the compatibility renderer) or some other way?

Glad you liked it :) 

The fog is only made using the regular fog in the worldenvironment. The trick is to play with the fog height and height density property and set the light color of the fog to be the same as the  horizon, bottom and horizon color ^^

Really liked the visuals, unfortunately I had the stormy clouds spawn is not great, I had to wait for a long time for a few to arrive near the certer.

Really liked the visuals and sfx! I somehow ended up with an army of hot air balloons, which was cool. Nice work :)

It took a minute to figure out movement, but it is a nice approach, just felt a little strong. Really liked the concept.

Good visuals. I think a camera rotate function would be helpful.

It's very attractive and polished.
