its good idea!

The conflicting goals of staying in the air for as long as possible and landing with a minimum of people and money could make more levels with different aerial threats interesting.

For now, until the deadline, I would suggest adding a pause menu with a resume button and a quit button like the one in your main menu.

@pavan-01 Thank man! :D

@atium-addict Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback, i have updated the game build and included a Pause button in-game and also a quit from in-game too! Thank you so much for the suggestions!

I love the people screaming when getting thrown out) Had a lot of fun, I think I even bumped into the top of the map) My PB is 112, who got more?

It's pretty good! Once i figured out the optimal amount of coinage to sacrifice haha. The sound effects are great and funny!

@pandan @shulgaboy Thanks, guys! I was a little hesitant to do voices too! Thanks for the reassurance :D

Great game! I still wish it would be little more fast-paced. Game play feels little slow for me

Pretty interesting game. I think I could have lasted longer, but I think I hit the top of the map. I love the added screams of everyone. It's kinda funny!

Fun game, was a bit short however.

My complaints have already been voiced by those above. Although maybe have the consequences of losing money and/or people greater.

Nice.

Good game. Easy and fun. I like it.

Overall was this a very funny little game. The graphics was very sweat and it fits the game idea very well. The music in the game was okay, but it could have been better. The game idea was okay, but it lacked a bit of difficulty.

Nice job, fit the theme very well. I like the idea and the graphic style. My complaints is about the balance of the game, for now the best way for me to land is do nothing. If you adjust the damage that birds hurts would make this game even better. Good game overall.

Nice game! The artwork is great

My only complaint is that the sky has a ceiling. It robbed me of all my precious momentum.

behzad-robot 2018-12-03 19:41

:D cool idea.

Fun game, with an interesting original concept that fit the theme, cool graphics and sound. The play experience was a little limited - I couldn't really tell what the birds did that was so bad other than cost you a little bit of cash. Very nice work.

xesenix 2018-12-04 03:03

The soundtrack is a little bit annoying but fits well with the art style. Sacrificing people is kind of offsetting your progress to land. In general, it has some nice gameplay.

dk5000p 2018-12-04 07:01

So doing nothing causes you to complete the level with enough coin and people and not a terrible time staying a float. I didn't really feel I was sacrificing anything because the goal of 50 gold and at least one person can be met by doing nothing. The main menu music was nice but the actual game music got redundant. I enjoyed the graphics for the bird hitting the balloon. Needs a few tweaks to actually feel there is a challenge here.

I liked mousing over the people on the menu! Funny. Nice sfx and music. Theme fits well too.

The game itself needs a bit of balancing/tweaking, that I feel others have not touched on yet: The random patterns of the birds kind of clashes with the abilities the player has. If the player could (somehow) make themselves lower down/heavier, or if they could affect/kill the birds in some way then there would be a lot more skill involved in getting to the ground with the most money/people. Currently, to me, it just feels too random. Hope that helps!

WOW we have same idea, but i do it little different.
