Hot Air Balloon Game – Description
Hot Air Balloon Game is played by keeping the hot air balloon level, not letting the altitude get too low or too high, and making sure that the balloon stays within the game zone during different wind speeds. Game over happens at too high or too low altitudes, or when the wind pushes you out of the game zone (to the far left or far right).

The player can control the altitude of the hot air balloon by tilting their phone backward, forward and sideways. Note: keep the screen pointing upward. Points are rewarded for the total time the you can keep the hot air balloon in the air. By flying higher you can gain double points. The wind speed increases over time, which makes it harder to keep the hot air balloon level. There is a vibrate alert when this happens – watch out for it!

Have fun playing, and feel free to rate the game and comment on Google Play or this blog!

Developed for Android 4.0+
