Balloonacy [Jam Version]

Red Balloon can only move left or right, and must use drafts of air to navigate. If Red touches anything, it goes pop! (Except green grass, which is soft!)

A/Left Arrow to move left, D/Right Arrow to move right

This little demo is my submission to the GameDev.tv 2023 Game Jam. The theme was "Life in 2 Dimensions," which to me means not just horizontal and vertical, but a limited point of view and constrained options--so, black and white palette, and very limited control over movement.
