Up in the Air
Team : Studio Jiggly
Welcome to Weenie World !
Play as a balloon dog and have fun exploring this demented carnival , which is populated by crazy children .
Up in the Air is a zany , open-world game that inspires exploration and fun . Use a variety of power ups — from water balloons to ground pound — to fend off kids and collect carnival tickets . You can burn Big Weenie , knock over a castle , trap children in a cardboard jail , master hopscotch , become radioactive , turn off the sun , or get popped by a cactus . If you are particularly unlucky , you could even find the notorious child Chunkles and his gaping maw .
Up in the Air was made over seven months between June and December 2017 . The team started designing their game mechanics by asking the question , “ What do balloons do ?”, and then rapidly prototyping as many answers to that question as possible . They took the funniest prototypes and crafted Up in the Air around them , focusing on keeping the experience funny , open , and cartoonish .
Up in the Air was awarded third place for Best Gameplay at the Intel University Games Showcase during the 2018 Game Developers Conference .
