Fly a hot air balloon by blowing (yes, blowing!) on the screen of your phone! Use your device’s camera to look for landing zones on flat surfaces all around you. Summon your balloon and start flying! Tap on the screen to generate lift and elevate the balloon. Blow on the screen to generate wind and push the balloon further away. Bon Voyage!
Hello! I’m Hernan Saez, creator of Pocket Balloon. I’m an indie game developer from Argentina.
Pocket Balloon was born not only from my passion for augmented reality, but also because I had the chance to fly on an actual hot air balloon some time ago and it was mind-blowing. Then, it was inevitable for me to make a game out of that experience.
Early during development I noticed that something was missing. You were flying a balloon but it didn’t feel right. And then it hit me: what is the natural way to fly a balloon? And that’s how I came up with the idea of blowing on the screen to push the balloon away. From then on, the project flowed naturally by adding landing zones and allowing the player to score points after a successful landing.
I believe that the game can be much more than it is. I do have some ideas in mind, but I would like to hear from you about what would you like to see in later releases. What do you think about the controls? How can I improve them? Is the game challenging? Would you recommend it to your friends?
Lastly, here’re some promo codes for the community. Feel free to contact me on Twitter (@hhsaez) and I’ll be happy to provide you with some more.
