Great job on the submission - I really enjoy having games that have a single button like you do here, because it means that you don't have to mentally remember a bunch of different hot keys / controls. So many games can be challenging just because you have to remember everything you need to press to get the information or state of the game.

I do think the instructions were a bit abstract, and I definitely triggered a 2 player setup on my first run unintentionally. The absence of extra buttons definitely has their drawbacks, and I've hit a bunch of them first-hand as well, so I can understand the design challenge here.  I'm not sure what the best way to solve it would be, but potentially an announcement when changing player 1 or player 2's set up would be good? 🤔

I think, it was slightly hard to get a sense of the total track length and could have been cool to have some starting affordance there (a set number of ticks you hear before starting). I think some score goals for single player would be also super neat!

Again, great job on the submission! I hope other games strive for this sort of simple and flexible interface in future jams!

Hey I like that it can be multiplayer in the same room. Which works well with choosing a key.

I didn't quite get how to do one player though. I found the hold to select slightly confusing, especially relying on sound only. I also started with the balloons hidden and I wasn't quite sure what was happening.

Nice work for a jam though and I think this would be fine with a little more time!

I might have to hold off on playing this game. I am not a fan of balloons bursting and it makes me feel very stressed and tense. This is practically a horror game for me.

I loved that you made this a two-player game, and I also want to compliment about how this game has a narrative and story to it, even if it’s just a little game. I can easily visualize and imagine that I’m playing with a sibling some kind of “the floor is lava” game (where balloons can’t touch the floor). It’s a fun game to play in real life with balls, but also balloons, if they don’t pop when reaching the ground. But yeah, I am a bit scared to have enough resilience to figure out the game here.

The rest of my feedback is I must confess I didn’t understand very well how to play the game. I think the tension created by the balloon squeaky sounds in the menu, while the instructions were playing, made me unable to focus on them very much, because I was scared. I think this probably didn’t help with me understanding the game. And even how to set up the sounds.

I’m sorry I didn’t play your game properly, but to each their own! I do hope you can get some feedback from other players. Good job once again! Pretty cool you submitted these two games, and especially a multiplayer game! Those are so rare for blind players. So I hope you can continue to experiment with these kind of games! You’re threading the path for a lot of people!

Nicely done! I like that you can use any key for the smack button. I wonder if it could be made to work as "one button" accessible.
