Yes, it can be a bit frustrating at the beginning to only drive towards mountains, but if you use the green shield you will be immortal for 10 seconds. I didn't want to make the game too easy :)
"The coins and powerups are randomly placed, which is good, but makes comparing high scores useless in many respects."
By the way, games like Subway Surfers also place randomly things and you can compare highscore, because every player uses the same random generator.
My current high score is 11,000.
But thank you for your review ...
It's a fun mechanic, being a balloon! And the artstyle is on point, and the game goal is good: high score, fly a balloon. Well done there.
But: that doesn't stop the game from being frustrating.

I think it could be a great game with post-jam modifications if:
The mapgen is fixed up, and is the same between worlds, or at least repeatable
level(s) are designed to be pre-loaded so that I don't have to try flying over non-existent land (And this is not a bad computer, by any means)
The score formspec is made nicer, and instructions are given at startup
P.S. The birds are the best part:)
