NG Game Jam 7 flash. Graphics is full of 8 bit style, but they need much more attention to detail. You should list the controls in the author comments. I really didn't like the core mechanic in this game.

This is Team TheInternetIsForPorn's submission for NG Game Jam 7! For crying out loud, just press some buttons!
For our core mechanic, we had to choose between lighten and launch. We picked lighten. Originally it was going to be about lighting torches but we ended up going with this.
Controls:
Press M to mute or unmute audio, press any other key to lighten the load by dropping a sandbag. Aim for people and animals on the ground for extra points. Ram your balloon into bubbles to get extra sandbags, but avoid everything else

Thanks for playing. I think the artists did a great job. I updated the author comments with your suggestion
Good game
So this was a good game I like the music as it fit well with this the graphics are in need of some detail and more effort but for the most part this was a good game so anyways nice work I hope to play more of your games anyways untill next time
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some improved graphics Abit more details
~X~
Uh, this game mostly confused me. I dropped stuff and couldn't touch the top. That was it. This just seemed too nonsensical to be enjoyable. That's not how a game should be. I guess it was at least unique.
It's still hard to like for me. The graphics probably could have been better. I guess the colors were okay. It's just not rewarding. It made little sense.
TharosTheDragon responds:
This was made in just a few days for a game jam, if you weren't aware.
You drop stuff and can't touch the top, yes. But you also can't touch the bottom or any obstacles. You also try to collect bag bubbles. You also try to hit pedestrians for extra points.
heh. reminds me of something... cna't remember what though. Being 30 years old with asperger's and add doesn't really affect it much- just ensures it and adds spice; I've always been like this. HOWEVER I did manage to remember Mancopter. That was killer. Loved it.

From the title, I thought this was going to be a variation on "don't shit your pants" at first. I was pleasantly surprised though. The game is decently polished and requires a bit of skill.
And oh god, dat music.
TharosTheDragon responds:
Thank you. The title is supposed to be weird and uncomfortable. I pride myself on the polishing in terms of keeping my games bug-free. It may be crap, but at least it runs the way it's supposed to.
The music actually was one of the first things we got and it was so good that when the mood of the art turned out to be much darker than the mood of the music I threw a hissy fit and demanded the art be changed.
