It is a fun game which fits the theme well :))

tay 2018-12-03 23:45

Best entry yet, really good use of the theme and I love how there's like little physics in the game so you can balance your ship to go higher,etc... The art and music is great too and the sound when someone gets chopped is just on point 10/10 from me.

cax 2018-12-04 00:31

Wow, amazing and fu for this not fun jam theme XD But I couldnt understand the control buttons before reading description, its pretty original)

lucidus 2018-12-04 11:29

I saw you in the feed and I like the graphics! I can't play now but I'll definitely play it in the next couple of hours! Follow you!

corbak 2018-12-04 11:32

I landed Ahoy ! SO much fun with this little game! :) Well done on this entry it was really cute and all of the little sprites were cute too. Well done!

mrgrimace 2018-12-04 11:32

Very nice game! Easy to handle but not so simple to finish.

PS : love the song !

zhorky 2018-12-04 11:35

This game is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the graphics and my mind forced my to place the characters as orderly as possible :laughing: Nothing wrong with the game, even tough i lost my first round because of a bird.

spierek 2018-12-04 11:41

Pretty cool, didn't expect the birds to also interact with the propeller - that was a nice touch :)

camcam-s5 2018-12-04 12:05

The game is really cool and funny, I like explode mines with people :balloon: The gameplay it's so smart :)

publicidadeba 2018-12-04 12:26

Dudesss...talking about Innovation, this game should be in the top 10 for innovation for sure. Lovely graphics, awesome gameplay and solid use of the theme. Make this game happen for mobile devices. Easy money.

publicidadeba 2018-12-04 12:49

Land Ahoy!!

hakansoyozen 2018-12-04 13:06

I looooveee this kindof graphics! Nicely implemented game.

bluelen 2018-12-04 13:31

I love this game! It's really funny and cute!!

hangacs 2018-12-04 13:58

Really cool and impressive.

kovareka 2018-12-04 14:01

Really nice! First time I was confused with controls, but when I figured out with controls I enjoyed!

gamebuilder 2018-12-04 15:17

Awesome! A lot of fun — challenging but not too difficult. You nailed the theme as well. Great job folks!

kaleido 2018-12-04 17:27

Wonderful game! Took me a bit to realize that I needed to move the characters on the ship around.

procezz 2018-12-04 17:28

Really nice game! :smiley:

axelolivier 2018-12-04 17:34

it's so funny !! The gameplay it’s so cool ;)

royur 2018-12-04 17:34

REally enjoy it.

rootools 2018-12-04 17:42

Good job! Thank you! =)

woofdog99 2018-12-04 18:03

Nice one! kept me entertained!

lizouille 2018-12-04 18:14

I had a great time playing your game, although the idea is quite simple! You did a wonderful job!

a333 2018-12-04 18:17

Very nice and easy to learn idea with a cute implementation, which also happen to exploit the theme in a rather dynamic way. Fun to play, nice music and adoring little touches (such as whoosh sound passengers make when you throw them). Thank you, had a good time playing.

falak 2018-12-04 20:12

BEST GAME EVER! Wise use of the theme! Funy gameplay! Awsome music! And beauty pixelart!

wie 2018-12-05 06:17

The game is very fun to play, and the gfx and sound are really good! This is very innovative too, but at first the controls are a bit confusing. Great job!

flat-anchor 2018-12-05 08:59

This is amazing. Best game so far for me.

hamsters-actually 2018-12-05 09:08

Pretty fun! I didnt know I had to drag the characters around, so maybe a little prompt would help. other than that I think that this is a really fun game. Nice entry!

o2o 2018-12-05 09:09

What the hell are seagulls?! This game is so funny and could you show a score when I arrive the end.

mrjackhpil 2018-12-05 09:22

Game is awesome! Great graphic, sounds, idea, style, controls, physics. It looks like a full completed game. You can place it somewhere in AppStore and Google Play and I'll ready to buy it because game is very fun and addictive.

juan-hust-novella 2018-12-05 09:39

lol, a fucking bird justpushed all my passengers into the turbine! Wow its ultra fun, i love this game. Proper selection of music, funny graphics and ultra fun mechanics! First game that i rate today and I'm already enjoying it. Good job! It definetly needs a score when you ends, but its ok.

darylsteak 2018-12-05 09:40

Very fun and polished game! I like the premise behind it and the cutesy artstyle suited it well. The music was also nice and it was really fun to play with.

Great job!

eretol 2018-12-05 09:42

Good use of the theme. Nice with multiple dangers made it quite interesting

gebowunjo 2018-12-05 09:59

Very fun game ! Good use of the Theme. The graphics and the global ambiance is great. Could be a smartphone game !

toadietechnika 2018-12-05 10:17

Screen Shot 2018-12-05 at 6.14.50 PM.png

That moment when you're about to finish the game, lol. This game is hilarious and awesome. It's really fun playing around with the passengers and intentionally put them through the propeller (although it sounded brutal). Physics are also well implemented, really great use of the theme in the end.

theonethatneverwas 2018-12-05 13:14

Very nice game! The gameplay is amazing, as well as the art and mood. Congratulations to the team!

dyzzyd 2018-12-05 15:31

Best LD 43 game I ever played so far ! I had so much fun playing it !! You guys rock !!!

franfox 2018-12-05 15:48

Fantastic game! Even if you make me sacrifice a little baby... I had to save Soler! :sunny: :open_hands:

arvejeitor 2018-12-05 16:38

Nice one! Game mechanichs are very good it's very funny and the art is beautiful! Congratulations to the team!

serwaastudio 2018-12-05 19:02

Cool game! It was very fun to play and the art was great :D

garris 2018-12-06 07:26

Give us the option to name the characters and you've got the perfect engine for streamable emergent gameplay. I loved every second of this. Well done!

mrspeaker 2018-12-06 07:29

So sweet and interesting. Really unique idea, that still felt very "natural" to play. Also hilarious.

silkworm-sweatshop 2018-12-06 07:37

Excellent and nice take on the theme! Looks, sounds and plays great and feels overall really polished!

ekin 2018-12-06 07:41

i really like the graphics! and also the gameplay! good job :>

dob 2018-12-06 07:43

Really fun game with cute art and a happy soundtrack. I've played maybe five balloon games so far, and this is the most fun. I liked how you used the weight physics to leverage control of your balloon. Very clever, very fun game.

nehvis 2018-12-06 07:50

Very good submission. Clever idea and nice graphics. I failed it though :D

gucio-miszcz 2018-12-06 07:51

Had a lot of fun playing the game, nice physics, and great idea. I've just got stuck at the end, but overall almost perfect game :) Capture.PNG

furtive-pygmy 2018-12-06 07:53

This is so much fun! Awesome work on the art and game!

purpledartfrog 2018-12-06 07:53

What a fun game - cool new idea :)

maskinmask 2018-12-06 08:05

Land Ahoy!!the weight of the pig is heavy.:-D

verbante 2018-12-06 08:09

Realy cool concept and beatiful art. I like how dark this ld's games can go, it was fun "defusing" mines with crew hahaha!!! The core mechanic is really solid, I would love to see some additional mechanics/obstacles build on top of that (other than mines and sea gulls). It was fun, well done!

thmokedfish 2018-12-06 08:17

That's awesome! Graphics are made perfectly. Nice work:D

saering 2018-12-06 08:32

Funny little game, I would have liked if there were a bit more things to do but I was not disappointed, overall it was really great to play!

jiri-hysek 2018-12-06 08:48

Ha! That was fun :) I like the humor on this game. And graphics looks pretty good too..

oakenman 2018-12-06 09:06

Awesome game! Simple but quite fun :) I love the physics and the sprites

xenop 2018-12-06 09:12

Nice game. For a ludum dare game is really good

skodone 2018-12-06 09:25

amazing entry! very well done in all aspects <3

dunin 2018-12-06 09:46

Haha! Nice game and fit very well to the theme!

I saved 4 people after 3 attempts. Sorry for the others, I did what I could...

gri-bel 2018-12-06 10:06

Amazing game with cool graphics!)

bumdag 2018-12-06 10:28

Fantastic game, love the art music, gameplay. It all tied in nicely together. Well done!

raindrinker 2018-12-06 11:31

Amazing art, great concept. maybe just missing a bit of clear meaning on who youre saving and who youre not so youre making more interesting decisions but overall a super polished super great entry. Amazing job!

sadzanenyama 2018-12-06 11:53

Really cool game, nice physics and good use of theme. Well done!

meskaline 2018-12-06 13:02

Nice polished game. I love the graphics. Had fun playing, it's nice that you can drag the elephant on and off the ship and always keep him around. Good job!

tekses 2018-12-06 14:44

Great and simple idea, that is working so well. One of my favorie entries so far. It goes to show what game mechanics can do! Also liked the artstyle and humor A LOT! We also made airship game but with a different focus, i like the simplicity of yours quite a bit more.

tacohej 2018-12-06 17:57

You really nailed some kind of balance between simplicity and depth. It wasn't hard to understand the first playthrough, but after several attempts I did much differenly than in the beginning after learning more of the all the interactions. I think that is something rare and hard to achieve. To me this is a very successfully executed jam. What would you do with it if you decided to continue development after this jam?

arkiruthis 2018-12-06 19:03

What a delightful game! Nothing more to add really than has already been said. :thumbsup:

deemoo 2018-12-06 19:05

Awesome game!

brownricestudio 2018-12-06 19:13

Really great game! I really liked it

rosypenguin 2018-12-06 19:34

So charming, the music and art just tie everything together. The physics gameplay is fun, loved all the fun interactions such as throwing people into mines, chopping up birds with the propeller, drowning people, etc. Great work!

phobos001 2018-12-06 20:05

Very cute and fun game! I liked how the propeller in the back is both a hazard and a tool >:) The graphics and controls are very polished and responsive as well. You guys did a great job!

firebug 2018-12-07 18:11

Great job you guys! ^_^ The pixel art is absolutely adorable and the physics feel reliable enough to strategize your next moves. I felt like I was saving the people by popping their balloons and letting them float in the water, haha.

kobeb 2018-12-08 11:14

best graphics ive seen so far this jam!

angie-hanko 2018-12-08 12:03

Great game, really integrated the topic into the mechanics and made me feel bad and good at the same time!

dining-philosopher 2018-12-08 21:32

Ahoy! Really good game, I wasn't always sure what would give me lift, but I just tried to put everyone on the back of the zeppelin and not have too many people.

kromzem 2018-12-09 02:02

Random bird flies by and just randomly pushes all of my crew members off the ship ... 10/10!

cristi-mihai 2018-12-09 10:19

Fantastic job guys, I absolutely love the pixel art!

yuliya-86 2018-12-09 13:45

nice game!

leorean 2018-12-09 19:00

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! :heart: We're really glad you enjoy our game ^-^

esosek 2018-12-10 08:34

Your idea is unique and very fun! :) It just felt sometimes that I am descending with less passengers than I had on beggining but that may be caused by high altitude? I love that your game has lot of "oops" moments when you accidently kill your passengers and I think it's the reason why it's so good :) Cheers and keep up the great work!

krzymsky 2018-12-10 10:55

Super fun game, awesome entry

fobia 2018-12-10 17:05

A real game! For a long time I played it thank you =)

shadoninja 2018-12-13 04:35

Nice entry!

Yay! I really liked the song! I wish it was a little longer though. The bouncy synth really lines up with the art and gameplay. I am super happy to find some LD games with fun music!

easy82 2018-12-16 22:19

Lovely entry! It's fun to play :) I like the art style and the game fits the theme very well. hope to see you next time too! Cheers :)

ethan-kennerly 2018-12-24 21:54

Perfect! 5-stars. When I balanced buoyancy of the occupants with the elephant about to join the crew, I felt intuitively interested and charmed by the consistent logic of your make believe physics. If you continue to develop this, I when I saw the balloons, elephants, birds, I wasn't clear until after the fact what the iconography was indicating the physical effect of each object. For example, the bird pushed all the passengers into ...

skiddings 2018-12-27 14:33

I love the balloon design so much

tito 2018-12-30 22:26

Crazy hard sometime lol, but still balanced to be playable. The visuals and music could convince me this was a retro 16bit from the snes. Well done!
