What exactly do you do in this demo? Is there an enemy or something im not seeing? Also you could try a little bit with the graphics, but ill whip up a blimp really quick for you.

Heres the left and right standing blimp. You can add a fire animation behind the engine for moving (rotating flames). I kept it colorless so you can color it using a create actor code with rbg values. I did it like this so as an "unlockable" you can get blimps with different colors.

Power of Graphics

I took the liberty to make my own sprites for this game and it took me like 20 minutes to do all of them. And if I spent another 10 minutes they could actually be pretty good. Then I spent another 15 minutes to change some of your coding and added some to improve movements, grapphics, and visual appeal. Now other than the point you are still unable to do anything (other than move) BUT it at least looks fun.

What I Changed:

Graphics
All sprites
Player and enemy colors can be changed with RBG
Used my logic and Cosine to move the clouds up and down.
Simply gave the water xvelocity to give it the apperance of movement.
Player Movement
Changed it so he deccelerates to a stop.
Added script to make the view follow the player only on the x axis.

Even though you can do the exact same thing in each my version is funner. Why? The graphics.

Also, are you actually going to make this into a full game? If you are not I will.

Great! keep us posted! try to finish, or at least make progress before you move onto another game. This has inspired me to make a blimp game of my own.
