A message from Balloon Co. [marketing department]
The following is a completely automated message, please do not believe this message was written by a human. After all, automated messages are a sign of how big and important a company we are, since we can afford to use robots to communicate.

Hello Balloon Co. [gaming division] game enjoyer! We have detected automatically with computers and not manually by checking the comment section that you have attempted to access a previous Balloon Co. [gaming division] game jam, as gamevertised by "You Are Welcome"

Unfortunately, our gamevertisment was so strong, it lasted well beyond the game jam, which concluded years ago.

Hiding the location of the gamejam from corporate lawyers working in the commercial contest was a necessity at the time it was launched.
However, this does mean that gamers who are interested in the FULL history of Balloon Co. [gaming division] struggle to unearth this important point in our past. While you were able to solve the URL puzzle, you reminded us that there may be other Balloon Co. [gaming division] fans who long to find the old game jam, but are for whatever-reason-we-will-not-judge-them-for unable to enjoy "You Are Welcome"
Luckily, companies that are not Balloon Co. are often shortsighted and not historically minded such as ourselves. We love gambling, and have decided to go ALL IN on betting the lawyers that work at the Indie Game Making Contest NO LONGER GLANCE at 2018 pages, like this one. Thus, we are proud to present:
THE URL FOR OUR CONCLUDED GAMEJAM IF YOU WANT TO FIND IT WITHOUT PLAYING "You Are Welcome": https://itch.io/jam/bc20182019

Thank you for paving the way for future Balloon Co. [gaming division] aficionados to choose to fish in "You Are Welcome" not because they need the link, but because "You Are Welcome" is a worthy game experience. Now, when other Balloon Co. [gaming division] fanatics express their gratitude to YOU for making their lives easier, you can reply "You are welcome, as in the expression and not the amazing Balloon Co. [gaming division] game"

~Signed, robotically, Balloon Co. [marketing division] Beep boop, since those are words a real human would never type.

PS. While the Balloon Co. [gaming division] game jam has concluded, our lawyers are legally forcing us to say our case-by-case acceptance of late submissions is still legally binding, even years after the conclusion. Beep beep.
