Play as an explorer, navigating a mysterious landscape of floating islands in your trusty hot air balloon. The inhabitants of the floating islands each have something to share with you: a cup of tea, a word of advice, or a clue to the mystery that drives you ever onward. 

Your balloon can only take you so far, but each time you run out of fuel, you recover resources that allow you to upgrade your balloon and go farther next time. Explore the firmament, evade danger, and elevate yourself to new heights!


CONTROLS:

W to ascend

S to descend

Hold Spacebar to land

Drag and drop with Left Click to sort inventory

A / D to rotate inventory items

I love, love, LOVE this!!! :D The relaxing gameplay, the pretty music, the cute character designs and art, the heart-wrenching writing, and the well thought out user interface all blend together to make a fantastic game! I'm looking forward to playing more of your games~!

Well made - captures the game jam themes well! At first I was frustrated with the lack of control you have directly on speed but after giving it a go a few times and realize you were building up resources to get better it started to click for me. I was able to finish the demo - good job!

Thank you for playing and sharing feedback!

Really well made with beautiful assets! Unfortunately I encountered a few crashes when I tried to interact with the luggage sorting system sometimes, requiring me to restart.

Thank you for reporting this! I am investigating the issue, but haven’t been able to replicate it so far. If you remember any details on which items might have caused the crash, let me know - thanks!

On my first play I thought that the air tank in the inventory was like a reserve tank, so I ignored the message that I ran out of fuel the first time, then went into the inventory and clicked on the air tank.

Its pretty easy and quick to replicate- After starting the game and sorting your stuff:

  • rapidly press W and S repeatedly to deplete the fuel quickly without gaining much height to avoid hitting obstacles above
  • press No on the out of fuel info bubble
  • go into the inventory and click on the fuel tank

I might be the only one that thought this, but maybe deleting the fuel tank when it runs out would avoid that confusion for others.

I don’t fully remember the specifics of the other crash and I couldn’t find it again, but I hope this helps anyways!

Oh thank you!! I thought it was set up to delete from inventory but sounds like something went wonky along the way and I never thought to retest that.
