One of the main bits of feedback was the balloon felt too rigid, so we added tilt as you hit a wind current to help with this, but I also think tis now helps give visual feedback on which direction you'll travel without needing to use the UI on the right.

Hey folks! We have a new update for the Balloons demo that has a bunch of new stuff, including new 2d art, a new starting location, a new hat and some updated physics for the balloon. Check it all out! :perduemoji: space-lion-studios.itch.io/balloon-game...
