This is so adorable. There's pure joy in just going UP as much as you can on each balloon. I would have loved an endless/untimed mode so I could just keep going!

hahha sometimes we don't want the climb to end either!! thank you so much for playing <3

This is so cute! I love the idea, the art is lovely, and the music makes it really calming to play even with the time limit.

I tripped on a balloon while falling and I was happy that it saved me :D It's an enjoyable game but playing on mobile will feel much better. I saw it on Godot's subreddit and wish you success.

Cool game! I got a score of 133.680 currently, but it can probably be improved if I get better combos...

Could you add WASD controls btw? that's how I prefer to play and it should be pretty simple to add. what engine are you using btw?
