Took a few suicides to realize I could control the flight (I skimmed the instructions, sorry D: )

Controls feel solid and it's very polished. Great work!

Nice looking graphics and cute sounds. I would have liked some music accompaniment, but the concept was good (and hilarious) and a lot of fun. Good use of theme too.

It was a little hard to get the controls down, but then it was pretty fun. The computer AI was made well. The SFX were great, would have loved some music

The controls feel a bit floaty but overall a nice concept!

was tough to figure out how to fly around after you fling yourself. Very fun and well functioning overall.

Really fun game that I could imagine coming back to try with a friend later on.

The little sounds in this game are really good. Tiny high pitched quips the animals make are funny and remind me of Worms. The sound of hitting a balloon and launching are pretty much perfect. Only thing keeping this from being five stars for audio is the lack of any music.

The opening menu is really nicely done. The artwork is top notch, the hedgehog sprites are cute and balloons (especially the target practice one) are nicely drawn. Physics works really well, that must have required a lot of tweaking to get right.

Great fun to play - good use of the theme.

This is very original + fun! Controlling the shot is a little tricky, but thats also part of the charm.

a realy cool game :) had mutsh fun with the 2 player mode :)

Good use of the theme and nice working grafics.

I mostly love the case of no instand death so the fight f eels a bit longer and that you can turn it around with 1 or 22 good manovers.

nice graphics and original idea.

Sweet graphics and mechanics :) Maybe gameplay should be less random but I like it though.

Got to be one of my favourites of LD32 so far. Fits the theme perfectly, some really novel and dynamic gameplay with heaps of potential. Love how at one level the player is forced to decide between which 'mode' to play, and at another has to perform technically to out manoeuvre their opponent.

At the moment there is an unfortunate dominant game strategy (position your balloon above the other and force it down), but with more work this could be something very special.

Awesome game! Really fun and innovative. Took a while to get used to the controls, but after a few deaths I was soaring around popping holes! Keep on going with this one!

Played with the XBox 360 controller, but still found the control scheme a little opaque. I'd prefer it if I could just point in a direction and the porcupine would do what it takes to get there, rather than having to switch over to a flight-sim-like scheme whenever I exit my balloon. Otherwise, I really liked the concept, pace, and artwork. Nice job!

Haha, I love the sounds and a great take on the theme :)
