One balloon, one paddle, one tap. Keep it in the air as long as you can. Balloon Bop is a hand-drawn pixel-art arcade game about bouncing a balloon off a paddle and scooping up coins before the floor catches you.

Score enough and a new balloon unlocks, and every balloon is its own little world with its own design. FEATURES • 15 unlockable unique balloons. • Easy Mode adds side borders and auto aim. • 9 achievements. • Game Center leaderboards for every balloon. • No ads.
