How To Play

The object of balloon blast is to hit all five targets with as few balloons as possible. To hit a target, you must adjust the velocity and angle of your catapult to get the desired trajectory.

There are three ways to receive points while playing Balloon Blast:

  • For each target hit, you receive 1500 points
  • For each balloon you have remaining after you hit all five targets, you receive a Balloon Bonus of 100 points
  • If you hit all five targets with your first five balloons, you receive a Perfect Bonus of 1000 points

Hint: At the beginning, change only one variable at a time to see how your catapult reacts. Then use that information to hit the targets.
