There's no throttle. There's no boost button. Just you, your balloon, and the weather that's happening right now. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Drift across live, real world wind patterns • Launch from anywhere on Earth to anywhere on Earth • Build a hangar of balloons, each with their own character • Earn points for distance, coins for the shop • Track every flight in your logbook with routes, reroutes, and the long way around • Collect achievements as you drift further • Launch from anywhere on Earth to anywhere on Earth • Build a hangar of balloons, each with their own character • Earn points for distance, coins for the shop • Earn points for distance, coins for the shop • Earn points for distance, coins for the shop • Track every flight in your logbook with routes, reroutes, and the long way around • Collect achievements as you drift further • Find artifacts.
