[The Last Balloon]

The Last Balloon is prob one of if not my favourite game of yours. Here's some things I noticed that I really really liked:

- It's a perfect toy. This is basically the super mario 64 equivalent of the fact that this game is still fun even if you strip away everything and leave just the balloon and the character

- The atmosphere is amazing. Everything from the sound design to the colors is just perfect. I love how subtly you made an entire world and story without a single line of text. The background and title is just obscure enough to give the player that "aha" moment when they realize it's literally the last balloon.

- A key thing that games like this do wrong is they don't give the player hope. Difficult games are easy to abandon if you have no idea how long it will last. You solved that problem in the most elegant way I can't believe I never thought of it. Seriously, I can't get over how smart it is to let the player run from the end to the beginning before starting. SO GOOD

I demand more of these games!!
Just kidding, I really liked this one.

I discovered a bug where if you press c whilst falling you'll actually change your normal jump height to that of the C button. Other than that it's a good game with a good soundtrack!

Hey man, thanks for the bug report :) i'm not gonna fix this version, but I'll be uploading a new level set with updated physics in a couple of months; sort of an informal 'Level 2' :p read my response to DamonandSky's review, I go into it in more detail :)

And yeah, the soundtrack is Ketsa, he's a London based Music Artist, check out the website in the credits section, he's really talented :)

Great game, awesome graphics, fun levels, awesome introductions to mechanisms, brilliant music.
If I have one complaint it would be that in some levels I had the feeling I was missing a lot of the levels and skipping things, this is probably because of how in some levels you don't really have a sense of how big the rooms are.

Other than that an awesome, fun game worth at the very least 4 stars.

[Santa Goes Crazy]

It's nothing amazing, but a fun little thing nonetheless.

[THERE IS NO GAME]

Short, powerful. Loved it!
Perhaps there's room for a sequel? ;)

[Popcorn Chef]

I cannot express how awesome this fucking game is!!
It's simple yet so beautifully executed, even better than some AAA games!
a bazillion out of five, sir!

HEAT9 responds:

I find your review to be more awesome than the game, Thank you :D

It's an awesome game.
The whole idea is very unique and the gameplay was great.
The story was also very unique.
Although the music was horrible to listen to in a constant loop.
And I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes this game used 2 gigabytes of my memory to run
and lagged out extremely.

A good game overall, but the music was horrible.

[Pause Ahead]

Why waist so many words.
I only need one:

PERFECT.
