About This Game

Hold to inflate, release to bank, and one pop ends the entire run. Eight balloons stand between you and a clean sheet, each a different color, each hiding its bursting point somewhere past the halfway mark.

Points do not tick up steadily; they curve, scaling with the square of the balloon's size, so the last stretch of a fat balloon is worth several times the first, up to thirty points from one balloon and a perfect two hundred forty across all eight.

That curve is the whole trap. Stopping early is always safe and always cheap, and the numbers only get interesting exactly where the danger does.

Three hiccups warn you as the burst closes in, and after the third there is roughly two tenths of a second of pumping left, far less reaction time than it sounds. No clock runs anywhere on screen. The only pressure here is the kind you build yourself.
