This was a fun game to figure out! I like how the solutions build on themselves and previous challenges you faced are still present in the level. I did eventually figure out you could box the balloons in, and I saw you commenting on how you couldn't come up with a solution you liked. One idea I had was maybe playing the "Reset" animation when the game started rather than during the preparation phase. This way, you couldn't interact with the balloons before the storm happened. Anyways, I really liked the game.

I really liked keeping the previous challenges as well! I was going to do more "traditional" puzzle levels originally, but then I was inspired by that password game that went viral a while back.
The late reset might be a good idea. I'm worried that it might make the storm phase even longer (some have expressed annoyance at that) and honestly I do really like watching them bounce around in the build phase and the immediate drop into the chaos of the storm is pretty funny. Worth exploring if I can somehow get the best of both worlds though.
Thanks for playing!
