I was lucky enough to catch the old version and it was brilliant, I'll have to see what changes you've made

You have been busy.

Just playing now. I too played the original, I made the last comment before it got took down so I feel somewhat responsible! It was still a fantastic level despite my reservations!

Finished....Awesome! I feel the slight changes and new elements have really improved it. Like I said before it got took down I just thought that it needed something new to stop it feeling too similar to the last one.

There's a few things that I really liked and would probably like to see more of. The part where you have to move the blower thing so you can get up...very good! A great idea that could be used for more complex puzzles.

And where you have to release the boulders to smash through the bridge. I like that you have to let go of the balloon and grab something else. I think mixing it up ever so slightly so like that so it's not all balloon related could be another really good idea to exploit.

Some parts were a bit tricky. Definitely harder overall than the previous, trying to get up the cog spinning towards you for example. But definitely not too hard, from my point of view anyway.

The part where you have to go across the blowers but theres things big rocks that push you down....I somehow managed to actually go up into the last one and come down the other side past it haha not sure if you could block that off

5 stars and a heart

No big surprises here, as it's part of your other "sky" levels,
but still a very good level, and I enjoyed playing it!
(haven't played the first version of it though)

Visually very nice and clean,
I liked the use of the extra layers with the big water bottles...!
and I really loved the telescope at the end, very smartly done!

Even though progressing with the ballon is not the easiest thing,
gameplay was simple yet fun, not to easy, not too hard.

Haven't got anything negative to say about it...

Just great work!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the level is not working. The emitters are not working, which suggests your level is overheated.

When I snag a balloon, a new one doesn't emit in its place. Also, the "wind" pads are not working, so I can't get out of the very beginning of the level. This makes me a sad panda. Anyone else having these problems? I tried 6 times to play it, to no avail.

No popping sound, but I just played it again and it worked like it was supposed. I got second place even! Thanks.

That's so weird, though. I even played one of your other levels to completely clear the level from my system, and then tried again - same thing. I don't know what I did. Although I did get a 'Failed to Load Level' message at one point... Might be related.

Anyways... 5 stars and a heart.

I didnt have any problems if its any consolation, comphermc must have been unlucky.

The Skytown levels are just great, they've a laidback atmosphere all their own, and this is a worthy addition, and the balloon mechanic is definitely unique and fun enough for another level. Looks beautiful as always jump_button. You never had a feedback thread for your GOTY level so I'll just throw in that it was a stunner!

This is a great level once again Jump_Button.

I loved that is a score ro achieve in this one. The balloon gameplay is lovely as usual and you're pushing things a bit forward compared to last time. Also, this is another level justifying the background glitch so well.

WE NEED A BACKGROUND EDITOR MEDIA MOLECULE OK?

tks. Oh and 4 hearts + :star::star::star::star::star: for ya.

I missed this level the first time around, so I'm very happy to see that you reposted it! As always, the visuals are outstanding! I loved the design of the rain factory looming in the background.

The level itself has some great gameplay elements and some simple, but fun puzzles. I must admit that I'm not the biggest fan of the balloon jumping though. While I enjoy it in some areas, it frustrates me in others. Perhaps it's my poor balloon jumping abilities, but I can never seem to jump correctly and often have trouble while navigating the environment. It's an awesome idea though and when it does work, it's very fun!

Overall, this is another fantastic jump_button level and I'm glad that I finally got to play it!
