The loop is addictive and I could see myself getting captured in it for a while! I did find that it was easier to just focus on handing out balloons instead of trying to pump them and hand them out though. Took a while to notice the message to stop pumping as well.

Cool game! I like the whimsy and the clear implementation of the countdown mechanic - I'd love to see a little more explanation or maybe some visually different enemies but solid submission :)

Getting into the game is quite brutal but once you figure it out it does click.

Can't say I fully enjoyed my time with it but it definitely is something I might get back into when I'm in the mood for a quite difficult, reflex based game.

With some more variety and a longer introduction period I could see this becoming more than just a Jam entry. Well done!

Developer

Yeah, I've been thinking maybe we should've put an easy mode like some other entries I've played since it's a game jam game. Thanks for playing and the feedback!
