## What is Balloon8?

I created a game app that looks like a Japanese medal game!

Japanese medal game
・Takoyaki Kids (My favorite!)
・Pakupaku Kids
・Chanko Kids
・Bingo kids etc.
For everyone who wants to try it, use this app to ease that urge~
This work uses balloons as a motif!

[How to play]
Watch the timing, drop the ball, and put the ball in the numbered section!
A bingo card slot with the same number as the compartment containing the ball will open.
It is a bingo game where you can add more and more balls to achieve 8 bingo!

[Rocket Reset]
If you hit a rocket on the roulette wheel, all the currently accumulated balls will be reset!
ALL BINGO possibilities UP!

If the rocket flies when you drop the ball, the probability of a rocket reset increases! ?
・If there is no rocket, there is a 1% chance of entering the rocket bonus!
・If you purchase one rocket, there is a 25% chance of receiving a rocket bonus!
・If you use 2 rockets, you have a 50% chance of getting a rocket bonus!
・If you use 3 rockets, there is a 100% chance of entering the rocket bonus!

[Game over conditions]
There is only one condition for the game to be over, and that is
"Two or more balls falling into the same square"
is.

[Next way to play]
Once you get used to it, you can compete with other users in the rankings~
What rank can you get?

[Various points]
Drop the ball: 1 pt
Hit the nail: 10 pt
Hit a single balloon: 100pt
Hit a triple balloon: 150 pts
Hit the rabbit balloon: 200 points
Open bingo square: 250 pt
Get Bingo: 1,000 points

[Stage mode]
The next stage will be unlocked by fulfilling either of the conditions below!
《1》Achieve ALL BINGO in the previous stage
《2》Consume 50,000 points
I wonder what stage everyone can go to! ?


[Note]
This app is not a gambling app. If you are looking for gambling purposes, I don't think it will meet your expectations.
