This project showcases a game that I've been developing in Godot from scratch since the start of the fall 2023 semester. You know how when you blow up a balloon and let it go it flies everywhere, thats the basic idea. You play as a balloon and use this difficult to control burst of speed to get through a series of platforms rising high into the sky. Inspired by games like "Getting Over It" and "Pogo Stuck" the controls are meant to be hard to get used to and the maps made to be easy to lose all your progress. Infuriating right!

Hey guys so this is the result of my brainstorming up a cool 2D game movement system. Think of it like controlling a ballon that u blew up and then let deflate so it flies everywhere. I’m working on the Godot implementation now but I’ll prolly need some help tmrw

Hey so this is my ballon game that i sent the concept art for last week. The movement system is basically done so now im mainly working on rough level design. I wanna make one big "getting over it style" level. Also gonna upgrade the art soon :D

replaced the art in my balloon game so that it looks a bit better than just gray blocks (ty Kenny assets lol) . Going for a bit of an industrial vibe

I made my first animated thing (litertally 2 frames but still hype) in my balloon platformer game today by drawing up this fan and coding in the bounce mechanic. Credit for the art goes 100% to me and MS Paint lol. gif here ---> https://imgur.com/a/ZemBNVg
