About Go Balloons!
Go Balloons! starts with a mishap at the fair. A squirrel selling balloons loses the whole stock to a gust of wind, and the only way to get them back is to climb after them. The squirrel clings to the facades of the fair pavilions, and a single action carries the whole game: leap across to the opposite wall, grabbing any balloons drifting past in mid-air.
The climb has no finish line. The higher you get, the faster the pace becomes and the more crowded the route grows with jutting signs, ledges and pigeons waiting to throw you off course. Letting a balloon slip by is harmless; you are out only when you crash into something. Gold balloons are worth more than ordinary ones. When a run is over, you see your height and your balloon haul, your best daily height goes onto the champions board, and the balloons you gather count toward achievement seals unlocked over many attempts.

How to play Go Balloons!
Objective
Climb as high as possible in each run by leaping between walls, catching balloons on the way and avoiding every sign, ledge and pigeon.
Controls
Desktop
- Space: leap to the opposite wall
Mobile
- Tap: leap to the opposite wall
Getting started
- Press Start at the booth; the balloons fly off and the squirrel grabs onto the nearest wall.
- Tap, or press Space, to jump from one wall to the other as the climb begins.
- Time each leap to pass through drifting balloons, going out of your way for the gold ones because they are worth more.
- Watch for ledges, signs and pigeons ahead, since hitting any of them ends the run at once.
- After a fall, check your height and balloon count, then go again to beat today's record.
Tips
- Missing a balloon never ends a run, so skip any balloon whose path would carry you into a sign, ledge or pigeon.
- Height is what reaches the champions board, so a long safe climb beats a short run spent chasing every balloon.
- Gold balloons pay more than the regular kind, and balloons count toward achievement seals, so take them whenever the leap is safe.
- Hazards get denser and faster the higher you go, so settle into a steady rhythm low down and stay alert in the crowded upper sections.

Go Balloons! FAQ
How do you jump in Go Balloons!?
Tap the screen or press Space. Each jump sends the squirrel from the wall it is clinging to across to the opposite wall, and that single leap is the only action, with no combos to learn.
What ends a run in Go Balloons!?
Only a collision. Hitting a ledge, a sticking sign or a pigeon ends the climb, while missing a balloon is completely safe. Afterwards you see the height you reached and how many balloons you caught.
How does the champions board work?
Your best height of the day goes onto the champions board, so height is the number that counts for ranking. Balloons collected do not decide your place there; they feed achievement seals instead.
