I loveeed your game =))). so Innovative

eroxxie 2018-12-03 08:24

Fun little game!

rhou 2018-12-03 08:49

the while concept was really cool I enjoyed playing it

binarylynx 2018-12-03 09:43

Tried 4 times but couldn't make it. Still a good little game, otherwise I would not have bothered retrying after the first failure, and the second one, and...)

**GENERAL:** I really love the simplicity of the game while staying true to the theme. I did few tries but Captain got missing at 17m before the landing.

**GRAPHICS:** Although I love clear shapes I found clouds a bit too rough?

**AUDIO:** Simple but effective for simple game like that, music and sounds fit well!

**OVERALL:** Really nice little game which would be suitable for devices!

shendev 2018-12-03 10:59

Awesome gamefeel!! It's really cool that I understood what was I doing because of the "x will be remembered" I tried many times but couldn't make, was really hard! Great entry, very original congrats for this!

fnissalot 2018-12-03 11:14

@s4m4di @eroxxie @rhou @binarylynx @blodyavenger @shendev Thanks for the comments! The trick is to not rushing it, only do enough to not crash and it is easier to get there.

blodyavenger 2018-12-03 11:29

@fnissalot Ha, makes sense! I guess we were all rushing it like "Aim high and speed up!" :) Thanks for the tip!

slizzben 2018-12-03 11:41

Nice game, when i realized that the fuel are passengers i was shocked :O

s4m4di 2018-12-03 12:40

@fnissalot no problem bro

stevenjmiller 2018-12-03 14:43

Fun game, I got really close after a few tries but never quite made it.

fnissalot 2018-12-03 15:20

I have ported it to Web so you won't have to download it =)

daniel-abeleira 2018-12-03 16:01

Great game idea!

berkin 2018-12-03 16:09

I loved the graphics and music a lot ! Also i liked the idea, fits the theme perfectly. Well done !

bugninja 2018-12-03 16:11

Great job! I liked the art, couldn't read what the controls were supposed to be though, but figured it out pretty quick obviously (Left Button, Right Button). I was pressing tab and control for a while. Interesting idea, nice take on the theme. Those poor passengers. I respect their sacrifice, it had to be made so I could have fun.

willbl3pic 2018-12-03 17:02

I liked this: very nice graphics and fun gameplay. I returned alone. I like the touch of adding names for all the people who you drop off.

The font choice could be better though: the M in KM doesn't really look like one.

hawkie 2018-12-03 17:04

Very nice game - well pieced together and well themed. Well done on making it run in the browser too - always prefer that. Was impressed with the smoke trails and abstract graphics- it's given me something to try. I couldn't get home but I tried several times. I like the balloon idea - I did one also :)

jay-elbourne 2018-12-03 17:07

Wow, it took a while to realize that I was killing the passengers to survive....so great for the theme. The sound may need the volume a touch lower. Great Job!

andrea 2018-12-03 17:14

Solid little game, lovely sounds and graphics, well done!

cameron-borthwick 2018-12-03 17:33

really liked this take on the theme, very well put together game in each category

nick-rafalski 2018-12-03 17:43

Great little game with a great atmosphere! It got a lot easier when I realized the mountains aren't obstacles to be avoided :P Very cool chill game!

fat-cat 2018-12-03 17:58

This is cool! I managed to save myself an 3 people in the end. The music is my favorite part.

antt5053 2018-12-03 19:34

Nice game i made it with two people after a few try i was super slow at the end cause i spend so many people at the start but i made it!

keksa 2018-12-03 19:45

I did not manage to make it past the finish line, but had fun trying. Good job!

wie 2018-12-04 10:19

I don't understand how i'm supposed to get to the finish line, but the game works well and smoothly. Maybe if the game was a bit more fast paced it'd be fun.

xesenix 2018-12-04 15:00

Misleading HTML5 link you still need to download its not web version. Fonts are a little bit unreadable. Inconsistent pixel size is a usual offender don't mix them that usually why games looks worse than it should.

fnissalot 2018-12-04 15:52

@xesenix What browser are you using? It should be playable in the browser on that page. You need to press the red button "Run Game" for it to load.

Thanks for the tips!

supergobo 2018-12-04 17:23

Nice work! I like the art in the game, and you hit the theme right on the head.

xesenix 2018-12-04 21:00

@fnissalot I ran it on chrome on different laptop on this it seems to work without any issues probably slow download speed I didn't see that run button at all.

papabirb 2018-12-06 13:22

I loved it! It was really relaxing, and I felt compelled to keep trying even though at first I didn't understand how to play well & I didn't realize I was sacrificing my crew (I misinterpreted the pixel as a mountain/volcano to steer clear of at first) so I kept dying after sacrificing the last one. Eventually I made it home alone, then played again a few times to try and get home with more than 1 - I managed to get 4 people home. The secret technique is cruise control :v:

jimbly 2018-12-07 04:59

I made it home! Me and 1 other. Nice and chill game, once I figured out what was going on. The start was rough, lots of things happening, text scrolling by ("I'm losing people!"), rapidly clicking to not crash, then figuring out why I was losing people... great =).

paulhocker 2018-12-10 04:48

clever game with neat use of the theme -- thanks for making this

jk5000 2018-12-13 09:28

A simple and good idea for the game jam. Both controls, graphics and music is good, and it all fits the game idea very well. Sp overall a very well made LD game. Well done.

gwinnell 2018-12-13 14:10

I got home with two crew members. It kind of felt formulaic in that I didn't really have to use the RMB ability and just had to keep pressing LMB every now and again - this could have been fixed by adding some kind of hazard at the bottom of the screen, and then balancing the home distance and crew members available.

I enjoyed the humour, the music, sfx, and it fits the theme very well. The nice flat art style was pleasing to look at and I enjoyed the camera shakes, smoke trails, and a little bits of polish here and there.

This is clearly a game built with an all-round solid skill set, but the mechanics could have been a bit better -- hope this feedback helps!

fnissalot 2018-12-13 15:59

Thanks all who plays it and comments on it!

@gwinnell The amount of air that leaks out of the balloon is slightly random. The LMB ability has a delay before it reduces the weight, while the RMB does it directly. RMB is a panic option and as you say, you rarely need it. If i continue doing things with this, I might add more reasons to use it.

boyzandgirlz 2018-12-13 23:07

Good game I love the concept. Music is not exactly in the mood, by I liked it.

arvejeitor 2018-12-14 12:14

Fun little game, I really liked the concept

phillserrazina 2018-12-14 20:53

A really nice concept!

2018-12-27 17:26

Challenging game. I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/o0MHxxyY-UU
