## What is Pocket Balloon?

Fly a hot air balloon by blowing (yes, blowing!) on the screen of your phone!

Use your device’s camera to look for landing zones on flat surfaces all around you. Summon your balloon and start flying!

Tap on the screen to generate lift and elevate the balloon.

Blow on the screen to generate wind and push the balloon further away.

As you fly around your environment, the air balloon will naturally interact not only with flat surfaces like the floor or a table, but also with walls, doors and other obstacles!

Land your air balloon on the landing zones to get points and compete with your friends or with other players all around the world.

Fly around your house or explore outside! 

Take an air balloon with you wherever you go. 

Bon voyage!
