About This Demo

DON'T POP THE BALLOON

Don't Pop the Balloon is a challenging co-op adventure that ties you and your friend to a single balloon with a delicate string. Your goal is clear: move in perfect harmony and reach the end of the level without popping the balloon.

DISTANCE = CONTROL

Use the distance between you to control the balloon:Q

  • Get closer: The balloon rises

  • Move apart: The balloon lowers

  • Too far apart: The string stretches and the balloon pops!

You must maintain this balance to survive tight spaces and traps.

TRAPS AND OBSTACLES

  • Balloon-Targeted Traps

  • Character-Targeted Traps

  • Moving Obstacles

  • Tight Spaces

Every mistake sends you back to the last checkpoint.

Push Mechanic

  • Support your friend through tough sections.

  • Use it to destroy enemies at certain points.

  • Or test your friend's patience by pushing them into traps.

KEY FEATURES

  • 2 Players Required: Cannot be played solo — syncing with your partner is a must.

  • Online & Local Co-op: Play side by side or remotely.

GAME MODES

The number of checkpoints varies based on the difficulty you choose:

  • Easy: All checkpoints active.

  • Medium: Checkpoint after every 2 traps.

  • Hard: Checkpoint after every 3 traps.

  • Impossible: NO checkpoints! (Exclusively for brave players seeking a real challenge.)

Take a deep breath and trust your partner. Let's see if you can complete the course, or if you'll end up disappointed along with your balloon.
