How to Play
Balloons spawn at the bottom of the screen and float upward at varying speeds. Tap or click each balloon to pop it and earn a point. The game lasts 30 seconds, but it also ends early if 10 balloons escape off the top without being popped.
- Tap or click a balloon to pop it and score a point
- Balloons float upward at different speeds - some are faster than others
- The game runs for 30 seconds or until 10 balloons escape
- More balloons appear as the round progresses, increasing the challenge
Tips and Strategy
Pro tip: Prioritise balloons near the top of the screen. They are about to escape and cost you one of your 10 allowed misses. Lower balloons can wait.
- Scan the entire screen instead of tunnel-visioning on a single balloon
- Pop faster-rising balloons first since they will escape sooner
- Use quick, light taps rather than pressing and holding
- On mobile, use your dominant hand for speed and keep the screen clear of your other hand
Scoring
Each balloon you pop adds one point to your score. Your final total is the number of balloons popped before time runs out or 10 balloons escape. There are no combo bonuses - it is purely a test of speed and accuracy.
