I like the music and art style, the cutscenes are story are a nice addition as well. On a keyboard the controls could be a bit tighter though, it's far too easy to accidentally hit balloons.

I loved the music and the parallax background. The controls were a bit floaty.

Intro cutscene was crazy long! But it was all pretty good stuff. Funny concept, and a solid game.

One word To many Ballons >:( .... But great game

I just have to say one thin... ROFL. I love it. The intro is probably the best of all the game. Great job. Good music, nice concept, nice graphics. And in that time... :D

Really funny intro, everything about the game was great. The only bad thing is difficulty, the levels should be shorter, or have checkpoints.

wevel 2016-04-18 18:56

Cool game, the into was a bit long and it was very difficult as you lose the level very easily

Utterly hilarious and awesome, unique gameplay... FIVE STARS!

Keep up the fantastic work!

Loved the rant at the beginning! The 'Stop Smiling!' line made me laugh aloud. :)

Neat mechanics and gorgeous visuals/sound. Tricky gameplay too, without being too tough. Nice work!

Relaxing with a cute aesthetic and a quiet mood. However, the controls on keyboard seem to me very weird. It's not easy to catch something. Overall, I like it. Thanks ++

The dialogue got me cracking up all the way :D The art looks nice, the music is great! Good job!

exilegl 2016-04-18 22:08

Good music, kind of reminded me of Earthbound's. Intro was great, though a bit lengthy. The mechanic is interesting and fun.

i liked it personaly im not a fan of large cutscenes but it did set the atmosphere quite well

aegypticus 2016-04-19 00:42

Damn, those balloons make such a loud noise. Holy shit. Great game. Super funny intro!

jdmazz 2016-04-19 21:35

I thought the controls were good. I had no problem with them at all. Everything seemed completely responsive to me.

captainpilot 2016-04-19 22:42

Looks *really* good, and it's got a good mood to it. The platforming gameplay is not really my thing though and possibly because I was so bad at it, I got frustrated always hitting balloons! The little game over messages are excellent tho XD

garys 2016-04-20 00:51

Nice work! I found it a bit too easy to hit the baloons, but a fun game all the same.

bigpan 2016-04-20 00:57

A good game overall, i laughed when i failed the first time, very fun game, good job!

matzigon 2016-04-20 12:44

Nice and round. :) Get it?!

jordgubben 2016-04-20 18:45

Loving the writing and the music sets a very pleasant mood. The level design is a bit of a bully, but I get the feeling this is intentional.

abuzreq 2016-04-20 19:43

Amazing !
I really liked the cut scene, reminded me of Flatland :)
The mechanics are interesting and the music is suitable .
Well made..

lostalloy 2016-04-22 08:11

"My sides are infinite!" Ahahahahahaahahahahahah! My sides are in orbit, especially with the game over sentences! Awesome game, right into my favorite list :D

arvydas 2016-04-22 14:53

This was an addicting game for sure! Though, that intro was a bit too long. It was funny as hell, but long lol. Also, it was pretty frustrating with the movement to not hit any balloons...especially after getting that last hog on level 2. I would nudge my key to the slightest possible I could go, but still end up hitting the balloon. Great humor game overall x)

quexd 2016-04-22 19:46

Had to play with the audio off but the game was really good great job!

franklins-ghost 2016-04-23 13:12

Great opening funny scene, loved the dialogue. Thought the humour was really well and done and the jokes worked well with the graphics and setting up the gameplay.

iceburg7 2016-04-23 21:23

This was excellent! THe humor, the audio, the visuals were all great! nice work.

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-25 15:04

Really funny, well made game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/Q_baWrdQ2o4

ellian 2016-04-28 19:17

Intro cutscene was pretty great!
But man, the controls are super hard, I kept accidentally hitting balloons all the time.
Good work tho, this is a lot for such a short time!

projectx593 2016-04-29 03:37

Very funny intro, the game itself is a bit hard!

Really cute game (minus the strong language :D). Nice work! :)

ainoraz 2016-05-03 21:58

A very cool little game. The art seems polished and feels nice as well!

sftrabbit 2016-05-09 11:54

Reaaaally nice. The writing in the intro was perfect and the game was fun. Only minor gripe was that it was a little frustrating having to start again so easily. But the graphics, music, humour - all awesome!
