To avoid planes, birds, storm clouds and enemy ballons you have to sacrifce your crew to slow down your fall. Its our first game and first ludum dare so we depend on good feedback to improve!
The balloon headed left and off the screen straight away so didn't get a chance to play test it. Shame, I made a balloon game too and wanted to compare. Nice graphics though.
the "D" key doesn't appear to be working to move you right. Only the "A" key works to move you left, then you are stuck on the left side. The clouds looked pretty cool and the music definitely fit in with the atmosphere. If the controls were working, would be a fun little "avoid the obstacles" game.
The speed somehow doesn't reset after dying so it gets more difficult the longer you play witch is a lot of fun and you can reload the page anyway if it gets too hard. Simple but fun mechanic. I like how throwing the people out of the balloon looks like you kicked them out because they fly up a little first.
thank you all for the feedback ;-) the game sadly is only optimized for 1920x800 in Browser so no Fullscreen for now. I will port the game to windows mac osx and linux for those with non working web version (?). "D" key is working on all our Testmachines (Fedora 29, Win10 and MacOSX) could it be that you have only used up all your fuel?
Interesting take on the theme, but I think that the "sacrifice" is not so clear. If the player lose health, fuel or had another punishment when sacrifice would be nicer.
The art style is simple but is nice. Overall is a good game. Good job!
@rodrigo-denubila maybe you have overlooked it but you lose a lot of score points for every spacebar press = sacrifice ;-) thanks for the input we might add some indication like "- x Points" appearing near the balloon in a future version

I thing move control (left-right) should be a bit slower.
I like the way the theme is used.
