Simple but fun. The normal difficulty was very easy (almost boring) but the impossible one was... well, impossible. You need something in between :]

Nicely done, runs smoothly and looks good! Bonus points for including multiple difficulties. My only complaint is that it could really use music. Some kind of catchy chiptune loop would go a long way toward keeping me playing.
Nice theme and style. Could use a little variation however.
nice game, thanks
well polished
Fun little game. The one thing I missed was the little creature swinging around when moving.
Fun little game. Good minimalist gameplay and art style.
So the fact that the canyon is collapsing has nothing to do with why the character has decided it might be a good time to get out of the canyon? ;)
Anyhow well done. Good game.
Nice game. It might be good to add a Score feature. Pretty good.
Very zen, somehow. Beautiful (minimalistic) use of sound.
Certainly goes with the theme, very minimalistic, liked the silhouetted style. The sound was a bit disapointing, no music and only a few beeps. Also there was no indicator to how I'd done on my two failed attempts (I had no idea if I was improving at all!)
Very smooth game play though, good feel to it.
Very stylistic, good look. Fairly easy, made it out on the second try. Some ambient music/sound would have been nice for atmosphere. Could have used anti-aliasing also, but it's a minor complaint.
Runs well, good controls, good balance, good visual style. Could use more gameplay depth or a more interesting primary mechanic. I know you are going for minimal but you still need to keep a player interested. Also music and better sound effects would help.
Simply amazing game. It might not have been that innovative, but the graphics were awesome! It's the subtle things that transform something from being good to great, and I feel as if this game definitely achieved that. As others have said, maybe add some music, and maybe make the levels last longer and/or add power-ups, and I could definitely see myself buying this on a mobile platform. Definitely the best submission I've played so far. Bravo.
Dandy game. 'Twould be nice to move your character up and down, but it's not essential. It's an easy concept to expand upon, for sure.
Very simple yet very fun. I think there sould be some powerup of sorts to spice up gameplay.
Nice simple endless balooner :) The character is really cute. Also I liked the fact that the hitbox is the baloon, not the character.
Very simple yes fun, a little bit of scoring/storyline & Music would have made it perfect (post ludum version? )
Nice game. Liked the smooth controls, a thing that is really on some other entries. Beautiful scenario.
Short and sweet! I haven't tried impossible mode It doesn't sound fun. The small offset animations on the little character add a lot of charm! It didn't run smoothly for me, it jumped and twitched vertically for some reason - maybe slow redraws: this machine doesn't have a good graphics card.
Brilliant! Simple and fun, but need Score or Timer(?)
Looks polished, and the graphics look nice. The gameplay is a little limited though.
Would be great as an endless/highscore game, or with story and levels. Liked the characters subtle animations. good job.
Pretty nice game! I really like the character-animation!
Fun game, agreed about the difference between normal and impossible being too great, but the main character is so cute! <3
Go Kirby! Go! Thanks for the linux build!
I've updated the Linux build, which should now run properly without spitting out permission errors due to me misspelling "null" and using true fullscreen.
really cool and i liked the graphics -- nice job
nice little simple game you got here, I really like the animation on the guy holding the balloon
Simple, liked the style in the simple graphics. Felt there might be a better way to raise intrigue or make it feel like you're accomplishing something going higher, like a story or score or something.
