Very cute idea for a game. Love the music! 

I'd really appreciate if you rated my game as well :]

The graphics and music made me very happy! Awkward character control.

Nice job, fellow first-jammer! The sound and art are great. And the cheese pick-up was a nice surprise!

Do you have any plans on developing it further? If so, I would tighten up the movement behavior, though I do like the added challenge from it being a bit unwieldy. And maybe add more pick-up items like the cheese that give you some kind of power up if you think that would be fun! And maybe a wind direction indicator if you want the player to know that.

I almost glazed over this game because of the  painfully AI-looking cover image, but I'm glad I ended up playing it. The art in the game is so appealing, you should consider putting that on display instead!

Overall, nice job! ๐Ÿญ๐ŸŽˆ

Thank you so much! I was thinking of maybe continuing on after the jam and fix at least the controls as well as some bugs. Atm I'm too buzy playing the other entries. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe will try to do a web build also. I barely finished in time, so I'm pretty happy with what we were able to achieve, but I know it likely shows. ๐Ÿ˜… Yeah, the AI cover was a very last minute thing. My buddy who did also the graphics made it, so I let him do his thing. It's all for fun of trying things anyway. ๐Ÿ˜…

A first jam entry woah! Impressive. Great job! The Wind was a tad bit strong but that's okay could be better represented  where it was coming from. Congratulations on such a cute awesome entry! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

good first game jam entry!! my first game jam entry didn't even work!!! 

I did find the movement being affected by wind annoying and hard to understand where the wind was coming from though.

very nice little game, the hot air balloon sprite is very nice, the music works well with the game. I'm just not a big fan of the wind effect which is quite violent in my opinion but it fits right into the theme. Well play

Cute character! Definitely a great first game jam entry! I like that you've got multiple enemies implemented and quite a bit of work to include background animations and a health indicator UI.

Maybe a suggestion for your wind indicator could be drifting the background clouds with the wind direction?

Nice job and congrats on finishing your first entry!
