Super fun, took me a while to get used to the balloons mechanic (just too used to regular jumping I think). But was a nice challenge once I got that down, and the rooms were setup real nice to force you to move certain ways.

Overall really nice work, well done.

Fun and not too hard, but very cute idea. And yes, a little sad. But worth it!

Very cute artstyle. I love that you left colour pallete choice! Very cool idea.

What a fun little platformer. I liked the story it told. Good job!

Great level design, could benefit from a bit more audio.

A really sweet game, its a shame that there isn't a narrative category because you'd sweep it

A very cute and charming game. Goldie has so much character, and the balloon stacking mechanic creates some interesting platforming gameplay. I feel like this could be expanded into a brilliant puzzle platformer. Could use some music too!

I figured the end was going to go there, but really nice game anyways. I would have liked some music, but it's still a great game without :D
