This is a short gimmick game made in a few weeks as a joke.
It's my first fangame, so hopefully it turned out well.
Fair warning, the music in this game is from actual bands and is probably copyrighted. If you stream the game, it might not be a bad idea to turn off music if this is a concern. (Then again, fangames have been getting away with using vocaloid music which is also copyrighted for years now, so it's probably not a big deal.)

A neat short lil adventure where you use a balloon to help with platforming.

Music is math rock so I give it kudos

Level design utilizes the balloon nicely although some jumps are tricky to figure out.

If you play needle, this game should be a breeze.

I'm a big fan of this game's primary balloon gimmick because it manages to integrate itself into the platforming without being overcentralizing. Your mastery is not required but it does make things more fun, and I appreciate that.

The boss is a lot harder than the rest of the game for me but it's still a good fight so I suppose its a minor issue more than anything.

The atmosphere and song picks are really nice. I have no idea if Phooey still intends on making more fangames but this really makes me want it to be the case. It was a great time.

Great game centered around a single gimmick: a slow descent using a balloon. The platforming makes great use of the gimmick and so does the boss. The boss is way harder then the platforming, but very well made. It is pretty short but i think it works in its favor.
This game goes for a single thing and nails it, can recommend.

Pretty decent game that focuses on a gimmick that lets you descend slower in the air, I found it pretty enjoyable for the most part and really liked the atmosphere of it. The platforming using for the gimmick felt completely intuitive and refreshing to play, so it's probably good to try if you're relatively new to gimmick-based gameplay. The boss on the other hand was a fair bit harder, and one of the attacks (Purple 2) felt significantly more difficult than the rest to the point it was unenjoyable. The white phase of the fight was also a bit of trouble due to how close it could come to the player.

Overall I think it's a pretty decent first game, the boss could use some adjustment but besides that the game is fun.
