I don't directly advertise it nearly often enough, but Louny Balloony is, in fact, an actual game with a demo currently available on Steam!

It's a unique side-scrolling platformer where you travel across different landscapes while using balloons to fly!

Beware of randomly generating platform segments in Louny Balloony! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Louny Balloony takes platforming to another level! Navigate dynamically-generating floating platforms in this flying platformer to collect hidden treasures and reach the end of the stage! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Small QoL stuff in Louny Balloony.

Louny's bounce height when he pops a balloon is determined by the height of the next balloon in his way.

This allows him to chain up and down a set of balloons smoothly with out over/undershooting.

The feather balloon powerup gives plentiful feathers as a consolation for popping. Use them to help you fly or for currency for buying other powerups! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Louny Balloony's a side-scroller with dynamic scroll speed! When Louny's further along on the screen it scrolls faster, but when he's near the rear it scrolls slower. Play at the pace you want when you want! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Well this powerup went over like a lead balloon!

The "lead balloon" powerup won't take damage from obstacles, but the extra weight makes it harder for you to stay afloat! Is it worth the trade-off?
