Plot

In the town of Acorn Hollow, Gregory "The Party Freak" Chuckwood and his pet lizard Newt go for a ride in a hot air balloon, but accidentally drift away to a faraway place, due to Mr. Underwood's sneezing of inadvertently releasing the balloon with the rope snapping. With the balloon downed, Gregory needs to find the scattered balloon parts to get it going again so he and Newt can return home. Various puzzles, interactive objects and characters as well as minigames are found in the game.

gollark: That's not code in the screenshot. That's network traffic.
gollark: Elytra are stupidly expensive, but actually getting one doesn't require more than borrowing an elytra to copy, an eye of ender, some weapons (beds, even), and a ghast tear.
gollark: By the end portal I mean the exit portal.
gollark: We should really do something about the monopolisation of the end portal, which is necessary for renewable elytra.
gollark: It doesn't have the relay, that's why.
