About game
Start with a balloon. Build a flying fortress. What will your airship become?
Balloonists: Air Battles puts you at the helm of a ship you build yourself. Fit turrets, rockets and bombs, balance weight against lift, then put your design to the test in aerial combat.
Take on 500 missions across a world of floating islands. Restore beacons, escort caravans, defend settlements and face powerful bosses. Dodge incoming fire, tear enemy ships apart one module at a time and keep your own craft in the air.
Every flight gives you a reason to return to the workshop. Earn coins and experience, upgrade individual parts and unlock new materials. Change your weapons, refine your design and replay missions to improve your score and collect more stars.
Build your ship. Light the beacons. Bring hope back to the skies. Your first flight is ready in your browser.
How to play
Choose a campaign mission and take off. Complete the objective and reach the finish before time runs out. Hover beside a damaged beacon for 5 seconds to repair it. Keep your ship and the objects you protect in good condition to earn more stars.
On a computer: A/D or Left/Right arrows move the ship; W/S or Up/Down arrows control altitude. Q cycles the turret through off, automatic fire and burst fire. E or V drops a bomb, F launches a rocket, G triggers an electromagnetic pulse and R turns the ship around. Press Esc to pause.
On a phone, hold your device horizontally. Use the left joystick to fly and the buttons on the right to fire weapons or turn around. Fit the required weapon modules and stock up on bullets, rockets or bombs before takeoff.
Between missions, visit the hangar to repair your ship, refill ammunition and upgrade its parts. Start with the tutorial and follow the prompts to learn the controls.
