About Breezy Balloons!

Breezy Balloons! is a free hot-air balloon game for your browser and phone. Like a real balloon pilot, you have only two controls: hold the burner to heat the envelope and rise, or let it cool (and pull the vent) to sink. There is no steering wheel. Instead, every altitude has its own wind blowing in its own direction, so you steer by climbing or sinking into the layer that carries you where you want to go. A wind ladder shows each layer's direction and lights up the ones heading for your next goal, and coloured wind streaks drift past so you can see the air move.

The 12 flights take you over four beautiful places: the patchwork fields, sheep and windmills of Clover Valley, the lavender rows and sea breeze of the Lavender Coast, a sunrise over the rock chimneys of Fairy Chimney Canyon with the whole balloon festival in the sky, and a snowy Night Glow where your envelope lights up like a lantern every time you fire the burner. Thread glowing sky rings, drop beanbag markers on target crosses for a bullseye, snatch flags from pole tops, ride warm thermals, dodge storm clouds and touch down gently in the landing field. A corgi, a goat, Grandma Rosa, a cat captain or a penguin can ride along and comment on every bump.
