I got to six thousand feet without knowing about the upgrade system. That was the best part. The Triviality of a house with balloons matched with the awesome piano music makes for a very blissful sunday afternoon time waster. really you should just play without the upgrades, the simplicity makes it fun.

The concept is good but there are a few things that sort of work against this game. If you position your house in one of the bottom corners, the whole "moving around" feature is against your better interests...there's no incentive to move as it's easier to protect your balloons than to dodge the bombs. Also, after 40K feet or so, there's no more surprises, so to speak, so the game just sort of flatlines...I mean, unless you're chasing a score which is pretty atypical, I think. Some kind of terrain...bombs bouncing off clouds...homing missles...stuff like that could make the game a little longer.

I really like the concept. This is quite a stressful game for me because I get blindsided by bombs and then set back to half my height or whatever. When you pickup balloons you accelerate up and the tiny window above your house seems to shrink as the bombs come at you with even greater speed. It would be nice if there was an upgrade for a bigger grab area, or some way of reducing the terror of whizzing bombs. It also seems unfair to have bombs generated above you when you've lost 6000m and have had no leaked bombs to have bombs appearing above you even as you are falling. A reprieve after losing a lot of balloons would be nice.

Just sit on the side and pick up balloons if you're patient. You won't get cash but you'll get way up there. I got to 20520 before I stopped.

its definitely not relaxing to have a "surprise bomb rain" repeatedly destroy half your balloons with no way to stop it

15560m, and I shall never do it again, it is horribly repetitive, to the point where I found it was more fun to HIT the bombs then anything else.
The first ten minutes were fun, but after that, well you get the idea. The only reason I got so far was because it's raining here and im bored. Needs a lot of work, 3/5

If the upgrade system got removed maybe this can worth a 4/5, but now it's 3/5 a bare pass. It's perfect as a time killer, but when we don't really want to kill time (want to enjoy or achieve something instead) this one will just make us give up fast, why waste our time on nothing?

Not relaxing at all, i was more stressed out after playing this game. The stupid bomb surprises are impossible to get by without getting hit. 2/5

Got quite tedious and was not very relaxing, I was particularly annoyed by the fact that pause takes a minute to load and that sometimes the bombs don't move whe nyou click htem.

I don't know how you did it, but this game can get frustrating beyond belief.
Terrible controls and unfair that one bomb can set you back several hundred meters of distance

Haha guys, press “Esc”, Space, “Q” or “P” buttons to pause game... you'll have access to the ugrade menu...
Good game, it's refreshing

there's a bug.. everytime you go into the upgrade shop (dont have to buy anything) the ballon hit counter gets reset.. so basically.. you never have to loose a single ballon if you go to the shop often enough

The supposed glitch regarding ballons defense comes with a cost. If you pause the game, which you have to do in order to access the upgrade menu because there are no levels, when you return back to the game your surprise meter has been reset and the only things that remain on the screen are the bombs and some coins any balloons that were on the screen disappear. This being said I wouldn't say it's a glitch so much as a design flaw seeing as there are no levels and no where to stop at intervals to go to the upgrade shop. I do agree with those who say this isn't relaxing, to involved to be relaxing. 3/5 for good concept

It's a fun game, but it would be better if there were an easier way to collect all the falling money. The mouse is small, and a lot of the extra coins escape.

The description is a big lie. Its an annoying game. You can only grab one balloon at a time, one bomb can knock off so many balloons off that it takes forever to get back to where you were. Its not fun to be this frustrated! 1/5

Change it so that you don't have to click the EXACT center of the bomb or roll over the exact center of the coin to move/collect it.

Surprise meter is frustrating. Bomb rain is picked too often, and there's not a lot you can to to get past it. Also, bombs should have a bigger chain radius, so you can create bigger chains and clear more bombs. But, other than that, it's fine. 4/5.

Needs an upgrade to make getting the coins easier, a magnet or whatever.
I think it would be a lot better if it had some character, it's just rather dull. An animal or person on the balloons and some varied enemies would make it a lot more playable.
Also the 'Balloons Up Power' upgrade seems to do a great job of killing me off quicker due to the increase in assent speed at higher levels, almost every balloon I get throws me straight into a bomb or 2 as I shoot up.
Why is the upgrade menu only available from the bottom? I don't want to purposely lose all my balloons every time I want to upgrade.
That's enough constructive criticism from me :D
