Very cute art and SFX! As simple as the mechanics were, the game juice was very apparent and all the actions felt very responsive! The spikes were hard to see at first, so a different color that would stand out more especially on the white clouds would've helped. Nice work on this entry!

as a very serious adult I too hate balloons and yearn for their destruction. Thanks for making my dream come true

The music does get a bit annoying on retrys but it's a fun game with satisfying feedback that could use a couple more features

That was some high level experience. The music is good and the sounds effects are every satisfying. Also, the art and visuals are quite unique. Had trouble spotting the spikes sometimes, but had fun. The ending was unexpected.

Awesome game. I think my only critique would be to make the spikes more obvious in some way, maybe the design of them or maybe some kind of shader that highlights them after you die. Even if you're trying to hide them, I didn't know what was causing me to have to start the level over until like the fourth time I died to the spikes. Aside from that, this game is really fun and the level of polish is impressive.

Loved this game! The visuals were really nice, and I liked that there was a good amount of levels to play through. It felt satisfying to progress, and the whole experience was fun. Great work!

Really fun, like the progression!

Wow really cool game! As someone pointed out, the gameplay is a bit repetitive, but the liminality of it all was crazy. This is what going crasy must look like.  I am saving this to finish it someday, because it is a bit too long, but the atmosphere is nuts.

Played with dev partner and we both had very different play experiences i think caused by framerate dependencies'. Our computers also ran pretty hot for the duration of the game. That aside the world building and vibe are great. Gripping narrative and pretty bug free playthroughs. Gameplay is a little repetitive over time and I feel like some of the levels are a bit long. But effective horror nonetheless and very impressive entry for this jam!

Amazing graphics, audio, and it felt very smooth to play. The game does become somewhat frustrating and redundant at a certain point due to the long levels. Also false advertising: he said he wouldn't hurt me... he hurt me.

Overall, a really well polished game and very satisfying to play, but could be improved with less repetitive gameplay.
