In this awesome new game by Ovivo you need to get ALL of the balloons in the cup without losing any of them along the way! To succeed you must take out the pins in the right order, if you won’t you might lose the balloons to a balloon bomb or a spiked ball! But Be careful, unlike the balloons the spiked balls go down and not up! One more thing you need to remember, ALL balloons must be colorful when they get to the cup, if they will reach greyed out, you’ll lose. The way you turn a grey balloon into a colorful one is by touching a grey balloon with a colored one. Along the way you could unlock AWESOME balloons and pins. Can you reach level 100? Enjoy!
