I also like the concept of people living above the clouds, seeing things oppositely than us. It'd be interesting to see where you could take the theme and story."},{"author_name":"AestheticGamer","author_uid":"22278","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 8:58am","epoch":1398675180,"text":"Well, it was interesting. I feel I missed something, as for me the game was just a cutscene, and then it ended. Regardless, it was pretty, think audio would help a lot. But it was an interesting interpretation of the theme. Made me think a little bit."},{"author_name":"hexagore","author_uid":"34027","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 12:55pm","epoch":1398689400,"text":"Kinda beautiful, makes me sad that when you go beneath the surface of the clouds you can no longer see the balloon.. but top marks for mood and theme :)"},{"author_name":"no.One","author_uid":"34512","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 12:59pm","epoch":1398689640,"text":"Interesting idea, audio would be really nice to complete this great art style."},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 1:36pm","epoch":1398691860,"text":"I read in your post, that you never painted art before. That's hard to believe, because it looks very good. \r\rThis had a great mood.\r\rBut it's even less of a game than mine :D\r\rAre you going to do more with this story?"},{"author_name":"Zutty","author_uid":"2593","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:58pm","epoch":1398703980,"text":"Beautiful art.

But there are some grammatical problems and a typo ("trough" instead of "through").

I may get it polished one day ;)\r\r@Snoother\rMy first language isn't english, so text may be a mess and typos are to be expected.\rThe most interactive piece will happen if you won't submerge into the clouds immediately.\rIf only I had started working on gameplay earlier, there might have been fighting the wind, and shouting at crows to get them away from the balloon. Oh well ;)"},{"author_name":"nonentheless","author_uid":"36254","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 11:29am","epoch":1398770640,"text":"Nice looking game and the physics work amazing."},{"author_name":"kbm","author_uid":"20498","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:52pm","epoch":1398779220,"text":"gotta love balloons, great idea. good job! :)"},{"author_name":"josefnpat","author_uid":"11249","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 2:48am","epoch":1398825780,"text":"Interesting.

Shame there's no audio, some music would really lift this up. The ballon physics and art (as other people have pointed out) are great, it almost seems a shame to include them in a game with so little interactivity, but I think what you were trying to get across worked.
