How to rate a Game like this? Beautifully drawn Backgrounds, but playfully extremely flat, with a Penchant for Masochism. After I died six times in the same Place, I had no Desire. You need a lot of Patience for this Game Mechanics, which consists only of being pushed to the left or right in the right flow of Wind, you should only land somewhere or pick up Or deliver parcels and you are not allowed to toast anywhere. You need a lot of Patience until you get to the Point where you realize that it's not worth the Entertainment value and that after a certain Time you get the Collectible cards (the only Reason to buy this Game for under 20 Ct.). Ne, I can't rate this Game in a positive way. A classic mobile game where you don't have to offer much, as all the "mobile phone gamers" have nothing to do with good Games. And the artistic Rest of the Game belongs as a Drawing Hung on the Wall. P.S. I haven't tested the Controls by noise microphone, but I can't imagine it Adds value when I'm sitting screaming in front of my PC. I already cursed enough when I died all the time.

The Game is good. The Game Idea is probably almost as old as that of the Computer Games themselves. Control an Object, balloon, from A to B, where the Possibilities to actively determine The Direction are limited. In this Game you can only drive the (hot air) Balloon up (by turning on the Burner), everything else happens through other Influences such as Gravity and Wind Direction. The Latter varies depending on the altitude Of The Flight. To make it a little harder, there are pointed Corners and flying Bombs that don't do the Balloon any good. And yet it's Fun (me, anyway). If the Balloon still ends up where it should go, or have I given too much or too little Gas, can I still correct or do I have to watch helplessly the crashing Balloon? But the Game is really short. Even if you sometimes need multiple Attempts, you'll take little more than two Hours to have the Game played, including a small Bonus level that has a different Aircraft at your Disposal. Given the good Price, especially in the Sale, this would be OK. I would just like a par Level more steering the Balloon through the City. The Graphics of the Game are idiosyncratic and coherent, matching the Story in which the 15 + 1 Levels are packed, about a steampunk Vilnius of the early 20th Century (So roughly). The Balloon controls itself very well, The Balloon can apparently also be controlled by Language (Noise?) (I have not tried), which could probably become extremely funny especially in the Group. Pro & Contra: + Simple but Entertaining Game principle + Good Graphics and Vibe o Too short rating: 08/10 An entertaining Remake of a classic Game principle.
