About game
Fans of fast-paced arcade challenges will find a new obsession with Balloon Rise. You control a white shield tasked with protecting a fragile balloon as it ascends through a sky packed with dangerous traps. Shove blocks out of your path and smash through walls to keep your ascent moving forward. Every second counts because the difficulty ramps up as you reach higher altitudes. Spinning windmills and heavy pendulums stand between you and a new personal record of height. You earn coins during every flight to unlock fresh skins for your balloon in the shop. This title tests your focus as you dodge debris and maintain your defensive line. Test your skills right now in your browser without any download required.
How to play
Your goal is to protect the balloon and climb as high as possible.
• Hold your finger on the screen or move the mouse — the white shield follows the pointer.
• Keep the shield between the balloon and incoming obstacles. Push blocks away, break walls and redirect moving traps.
• Do not let anything touch the balloon: a collision ends the run.
• Your height in metres is your score. Difficulty increases as you climb.
• After a failed run, you can retry or continue once by watching an ad.
• You earn coins for the height reached. Spend them on new balloon colors; themed skins can be unlocked by voluntarily watching ads.
The pause button is in the top-left corner. Your record, coins and unlocked skins are saved automatically.
