Balloon Bullies by DivineOmega
Balloon Bullies - a truly deep game that analyses the life of a simple red balloon and the reactions of society, or something.
You're just a balloon, but fools want to throw rocks at you.
Evade their malicious attempts to expedite your destruction.
---
Themes:
* Growing - The balloon constantly inflates over time increasing how difficult it is to dodge the incoming projectiles.
* Two button controls - In game, the balloon moves on its own. Your only two controls are buttons that allow you to toggle up/down and left/right movement.

Easy was a little too easy, I got to 73 seconds on hard though! I noticed that the rocks wouldn't go through the side of the wall like the balloon would, so you could drift between the wall edges.
Cool stuff!
Good luck!
overall really nice game!
At first I wanted to use buttons to change the direction, however I think its actually a better game when you have to click because it makes it a little more challenging.
I couldn't hear any sound but you have still left the rating on for audio, might be my computer so I did n/a for audio.
Controls are a little confusing at first
Gameplay wise very simply, controls were fairly simple as well, and the game well to the theme.
Not the most innovative game ever, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Congratulations on creating your first game ever for Ludum Dare, and I hope to see your games in the future :)
The sound when you change direction is a little annoying, and I would have rather controlled this with my keyboard. But the concept is nice, and the game plays well :)
Good job!
