The balloon headed left and off the screen straight away so didn't get a chance to play test it. Shame, I made a balloon game too and wanted to compare. Nice graphics though.

the "D" key doesn't appear to be working to move you right. Only the "A" key works to move you left, then you are stuck on the left side. The clouds looked pretty cool and the music definitely fit in with the atmosphere. If the controls were working, would be a fun little "avoid the obstacles" game.
The web version doesn't seem to work for me, and since there's no alternative download it's hard to really try it out.
I liked the blazing fire at the end, that was cool, and how the music picked up too, increasing the intensity. Nice job.
The speed somehow doesn't reset after dying so it gets more difficult the longer you play witch is a lot of fun and you can reload the page anyway if it gets too hard. Simple but fun mechanic. I like how throwing the people out of the balloon looks like you kicked them out because they fly up a little first.
thank you all for the feedback ;-) the game sadly is only optimized for 1920x800 in Browser so no Fullscreen for now. I will port the game to windows mac osx and linux for those with non working web version (?). "D" key is working on all our Testmachines (Fedora 29, Win10 and MacOSX) could it be that you have only used up all your fuel?
Fun little with nice concept. I thing move control (left-right) should be a bit slower. I like the way the theme is used.
I love the music!
Fun to play. Music is awesome. Well done. Maybe just a little bit slower movement left and right.
The gameplay works well, it's simple but efficient. Visual and audio are cool. It just need the fullscreen mode. Good job :)
Thank you again for the constructive feedback ;-) We really apprechiate it!
Interesting! Yeah, slower movement, or maybe at constant speed would be cool. Good job!
Sadly I couldn't get it to run, either on the web or on Linux :-(
music is the booomb.
enjoyable, great audio and thematic
Interesting take on the theme, but I think that the "sacrifice" is not so clear. If the player lose health, fuel or had another punishment when sacrifice would be nicer.
The art style is simple but is nice. Overall is a good game. Good job!
@rodrigo-denubila maybe you have overlooked it but you lose a lot of score points for every spacebar press = sacrifice ;-) thanks for the input we might add some indication like "- x Points" appearing near the balloon in a future version
