Sacrifices were made. But we made it out.

It was pretty good, rather fun if I'm being honest but feels a little short. Wish there were more levels, would've been awesome to play it some more. It took me awhile to figure out you choose the people at the start, I was reading it wrong.

Overall, well done! The game was a little bit short but the graphics were nice. The screaming could've been toned down a little bit but the other audio was nice. Good job!

Kudos on your composer for writing a lovely piano track, the somber mood contrasted with the cartoony game but hey it worked. I liked the concept, survival meets something as whimsical as a hotair balloon ride!

Nice game. The 3d graphics didn't quite match the 2d graphics, but I liked both of them, so no real problem there. I think the food level didn't really matter because of all the obstacles where you had to throw down people (food and people were correlated, right?). So that would have been nice to create a more balanced level, where food can become a scarce resource.

Decent game, nice concept and game mechanics. Fits the theme well :smile:

The music fits this very well. The controls are easy, though I didn't realize what the point of the different passengers was at first. I just took 5 of the 1st person and went on my way. I would have loved some animation / movement from the birds, but they served their purpose. The mix of 2d and 3d assets didn't fit together all that well (nothing against either one of them on their own, the styles were just very different)

Nice entry, overall - especially for your first venture into 3D!

Nice little game. Not the most original interpretation of the theme (from the limited number of games I rated this time this is the third one obout throuwing people off the ballons...) but still a solid one, and out of those 3 probably the best, because A) - you actually have to throw someone out to beat the game, and B) - No out of whack gore effects when people hit the grount. (The second is probably just a matter of taste)

The music is nice. And the screaming effects when you throw someone out are... appropriate enough. Quite disturbing to show that what you are doing is not good, but no out of whack.

Tawrds the end of the game Camera clipped into the ground, which spoiled the evaluation of the angle of the ground (as the backfases of the mesh became invisible), and this couls have esily been avoided by a twack in the mesh design between camera and play area.

3D assets are nicely modelled (with the exception of the ground mesh described above) and textured, so I call this a solid first attept!

well done! It's a nice game.

Interesting. I wasn't entirely clear on what I was controlling when I did what, or why the balloon went up a lot versus a little... just tried a relatively random combo until I won.

Fun game except the only problem I ran into was the birds, I could not avoid them.
