3D Pop Burst
Glossy 3D balloons drift, collide and ricochet around a sealed box with no gravity — all four edges of the screen are walls.
About This Game
Glossy 3D balloons drift, collide and ricochet around a sealed box with no gravity — all four edges of the screen are walls. Tap a balloon and it bursts into two smaller balloons that shoot apart and crash into everything nearby, so every pop sends the whole crowd spinning.
Balloons come in five sizes, and the smaller they get, the faster they fly and the more they pay: a giant is worth just 1 point, the tiniest 16. Splitting a big balloon barely frees any room, though. Only finishing off the little ones clears space, while fresh giants keep inflating into the gaps faster and faster.
Keep an eye on the FILL gauge: if it stays at 100% for two seconds, the run is over. Tapping empty space locks your taps for a moment, so careful aim beats frantic mashing. Now and then a popped balloon drops a Bomb that blasts away everything around it, or a Slow gem that calms the whole box for six seconds. Made for players who love fast, chaotic, satisfying tap action.
Game Tips
- 🎯 Little balloons pay up to 16 points, and popping them is what really frees up space
- 💣 Save the Bomb for a crowded spot — it wipes out big balloons whole
- 🐢 During Slow, pick off the fastest little balloons first
Controls
- Tap or click a balloon : pop it into two smaller balloons
