Addicting to play. Small improvement idea - when hit an obstacle, I'd made a reminder how to restart the level, not only in the beginning. Or just give a Restart button if lost. Thank you for the fun game.

In webplayer it was very laggy.

@Komjaur : It was the case for one of us too. Didn't know why :(

Cool idea but slightly more physics based movement would make it feel more than a baloon.
Also if you look away when starting the game you have now idea how to restart or play

Nice ideea, graphics and sound, unfortunatelly is a bit buggy, and stuck when i hit the pins wall. I like the colours. Stefan (tyrants.not.found.team)

Very nice game! Beautiful and calm. Like it a lot!

I'm all in for difficult games. But I also like it when they're fair. This game is a little too on the difficult side. The control mechanics are good and they feel solid. I think adding checkpoints to this game would have made a huge difference.

It is pretty cool as it is now, but adding checkpoints and improving the graphics will make the game even better!

A little difficult for my liking but a good game nevertheless. I really liked the music. Complemented the gameplay a lot.

Got about 2 FPS :/

Was really fun, but having to start a section entirely over when you lose was frustrating.

A fun arcade game hampered by unforgiving hitboxes.

At the beggining I was like... 'nah', but then I've found myself playing it for the next 20 minutes. The graphics were nice and clean. Gameplay was difficult yet still pleasant until I had to restart the whole thing. Maybe you would consider adding some checkpoints?

Great game, lots of content. Would be nice to have some way to speed-up (maybe by pushing both left and right). That would make it less frustrating when you die and got very far, as you could just boost your way back.
