A kitten's balloon blowing a bubble around the creatures of the night sky

You fly a kitten's hot-air balloon up out of an evening meadow and through seventeen skies, and catch the creatures that live up there with a bubble. The more you carry the heavier you get, so a full basket drifts you back down home: the first of each kind moves into its own little house on the board, and the rest are traded for petals. Petals buy a bigger balloon to fly higher, a bigger basket to carry more, and a lantern that reaches further — or hats and keepsakes, if you would rather dress up. There are 42 creatures to find, a giant thing hanging in every sky to fly past, and catching every kind in a sky opens the one above it.

It is a cosy game, but not an empty one: higher up, thornkites and storm clouds can knock a creature out of your net or send you home early, and there is an optional hard mode.

It plays on a computer with keyboard, mouse or gamepad, and on a phone or tablet by touch (hold it sideways). A flight is a couple of minutes; there is a few hours of it altogether.

I am after feedback more than anything: where you stopped, what confused you in the first two minutes, and anything that felt slow or broken. A comment on the page or here is perfect.
