About Don't Pop the Balloon
Don't Pop the Balloon is a co-op adventure for two players. You and your partner are tied to a balloon by a delicate string and must work together to reach the end of each level without popping it. The game cannot be played solo.
Control the balloon
The distance between you determines the balloon's movement: getting closer makes it rise, while moving apart makes it lower. If you get too far apart, the string stretches until the balloon pops. You have to maintain the right distance while navigating tight spaces and traps.
Traps and teamwork
Levels contain balloon-targeted traps, character-targeted traps, moving obstacles and tight spaces. Mistakes send you back to the last checkpoint. You can also push your partner through difficult sections, use the push mechanic to destroy enemies at certain points, or push them into traps.
Co-op and difficulty
You can play online or locally, side by side or remotely. The number of checkpoints depends on the difficulty:
- Easy: all checkpoints are active.
- Medium: a checkpoint appears after every 2 traps.
- Hard: a checkpoint appears after every 3 traps.
- Impossible: there are no checkpoints.
