I spent a lot of time making this unfinished animation, but afterwards I realized I had no idea what the heck I was going to do with it. I'm making a 2d pixel game and I wasn't sure how I would go about implementing this. When you look at it, what do you imagine would be there after the balloons float away? A loading screen? An achievement? The start of a new chapter? Credits??

Honestly, I thought it would going to be a skeleton but this is probably due to a rather popular 2d lightning tutorial, where a girl turns into a skeleton in the dark... My second guess was credits.

The balloons fly too slow and are too well arranged for me to expect anything exciting or gameplay relevant.

Yes, I too thought that the balloons were lacking, and I plan on working on them some more if I can actually figure out a solid use for this animation.

The balloons could definitely use some variation in how fast each one rises. To answer your question though, it looks a lot like the character just finished an endgame monologue/dialogue and then the credits start rolling.

Hope this helps!

Yep, fixing the balloons for sure. Took a break from making character related things to work on a pixelated background, and now that I'm looking back on it I hate how they all move like a block lol.

Endgame credits seems to be the common theme here, something for me to keep in mind! Thanks for the feedback
