Don't worry about the ballast by mortus

[raw]
made by mortus for LD 43 (JAM)

screen0.png You, your accomplice, and your dog just robbed the bank and are now leaving on your hot air balloon escape vehicle. However, the balloon is defect and it starts to loose altitude. What will you throw overboard first?

Arrows/WASD to move, 1-2-3 to drop ballast (be careful, same button will drop different items at different times).

Original and very fun game. Love the graphics and the funny little scenario haha. I feel sad because I dropped the dog many times by accident.

Nice art and concept! I've found that if you press a number if the game doesn't ask you to you will throw the dog, the burglar and money at the same time and I was confused by that during my first playthroughs. A little bit of balance here and there and it's gonna be neat!

IMO this game idea is brilliant. Too bad i didnt come up with sth like this haha. It took me a while to understand that this "air movement" gives speed. Also i like these "grainy" graphics. The game definitely has its own style

Interesting idea, and it is fun to play and works smoothly. I like the graphics a lot. There are some bugs though. Sometimes there is an area that i can't get past, in upper screen there was a strong wind that didn't let me go through, below it there were storm clouds, below those another wind against me, and below that mountains that i couldn't go through, Also on the other side there was the police so i couldn't get through. But when it works, it's fun to play.

Great concept! I felt as though I was as the whim of the prevailing winds, didn't get to the end but once, because of a great windy start. Once was stuck at the beginning, couldn't fight the wind. The first time I tried the ballast, I thought there was a bug, because I picked money but the dog went out, then noticed that they kept shifting. Good mechanic, but was unexpected the first time. Nice graphics. I got the cop blimp to spin through the air when I hit them hard. Fun, just wanted more control.

That's a cool game ! Sounds and graphics are very nice. It's a bit hard to maneuver sometimes, but I guess it's part of the game.

Nice job anyway !

Incredible game, I love it :).I suggest that you continue it and make it a mobile game and make it endless, 5 stars for all.

What a brilliant game! The only problem I had was when the level generated 2 backwards-gusts in such a way that it was impossible (in my opinion) to pass. But really funny, and uses the theme 100%.

Cool idea! The balloon was a bit hard to maneuver but other than that, I really enjoyed it!

Great graphics combined with good sound design. It was fun to play your game.

To know how for you went makes the player wants to play again, nice replay factor.
