Hey @javasaurus, this was fun! I played web so I didn't make it on the leaderboard, but I would have been second place! I feel the hitboxes could have been a bit larger on the good balloons, as the WASD movement meant the movement was quite sudden and found myself narrowly missing a few of the balloons. The downward movement was surprisingly slow, but added some gameplay as you knew you had to start moving down ASAP if you wanted to get down low after being high.

One thing is I'm struggling to rate as I'm not sure how much AI generated content was used. I'm guessing the main level assets were made by you, but the title screen and music maybe were generated? A reply will help me give you what I consider a fair rating!

I found the controls a bit punishing, but after a while got into the swing of things. The art was nice and the flow of the levels design was good. I would have liked slighly more fluid movement but hey I had a nice time innit

Little fun arcade game. I really like the idea of flying around as a pigeon in a busy city. The 3D environment looks nice and vibrant and the controls are satisfying. It was hard though to orientate on my position in the 3D space, and many times I just misted balloons or hit an obstacle unintentionally. The score system is unnecessarily confusing too. But I had a good time with the game nonetheless.
