No ratings yet

Glossy balloons float up over a sunny fairground meadow. Pop them before they drift away, catch the golden ones and leave the grey thunder balloons alone.

How to play

  1. Pick Classic, Time Attack, Colour Call or Relaxed and press Play.
  2. Tap or click a balloon to pop it. Big +10, medium +20, small +30, golden +50 (and a heart back).
  3. Pop quickly one after another to build a combo: +5 per pop in the chain, up to +25.
  4. Do not pop the grey thunder balloons: Classic and Colour Call lose a heart, Time Attack loses 5 seconds. The first two of every run wear a "Don't pop!" tag.
  5. Classic: each balloon that floats away costs one of your 3 hearts. Colour Call: pop only the called colour; wrong colours and called balloons that float away cost hearts.
  6. Relaxed has no hearts, no timer and no thunder balloons: press Done when you are finished.
  7. On a touch screen a tap just next to a balloon still pops it (never a thunder balloon or a wrong colour).
  8. Each run earns up to 3 stars and has three small goals. Leave mid-run and press Continue later to carry on.
  9. Keyboard (optional): arrow keys move a crosshair, Space or Enter pops, Esc pauses, M mutes, ? opens help.

About Balloon Pop

Balloon Pop is a cheerful tapping game for kids and grown-ups. Glossy balloons with curly strings rise from a flowery meadow past fair tents and bunting into a soft blue sky, each one swaying on its own gentle path. Tap or click them to pop them in a burst of confetti: big balloons are worth 10, medium 20 and small ones 30. Golden balloons are worth 50 and give back a heart, and quick pops in a row build a combo. Grey thunder balloons are the ones to leave alone. Classic gives you three hearts and every balloon that floats away costs one; Time Attack is a 60-second scramble where a thunder pop takes five seconds off the clock; Colour Call asks you to pop only the colour that is called (it changes every ten seconds); and Relaxed has no hearts, no timer and no thunder balloons, perfect for little ones. Every colour also carries its own symbol (heart, star, drop, triangle, diamond), so colours can be told apart by shape too.
