The most challenging and fun game of the year! Protect your balloon with your shield while it's rising up! In Rise It Up, you have to guard your balloon from the falling blocks. The sky is full of strange structures built out of blocks, beams, triangles, and other shapes. Use your dot to push all the sharp and heavy objects aside so that your balloon can float past them. If your balloon touches any of the obstacles, it will pop. You can ram everything out of the way if you want, but if you send the blocks flying in all directions you'll have more trouble guarding your balloon against flying debris... Let's download the game and start raising your balloon higher and higher! Rise It Up is now integrated with Game Center. You can play the game with your friends and many people in the world. Do you best and beat them by a higher and higher level! * From version 2.2, you can earn more lives to keep your balloon rising higher and higher
