About Balloon Challenge Soleau Port

IMPORTANT NOTES:

* Please note that this is a beta version, but has been through extensive alpha testing, is fully functional in game play and currently contains no known bugs.

* Please note that APP PAUSE / RESUME functionality has not yet been implemented..I will implement this after finishing my university course and after teaching my kids to drive. :)

In the mean time, please feel free to enjoy this excellent classic game and leave feedback.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank William Soleau for granting permissions to port his excellent game to the Android platform.

Please note William Soleau did not port this game to Android so please do NOT contact him for support as he will be unable to assist you. Instead, please visit the Facebook group page at http://www.facebook.com/groups/balloonchallenge

BALLOON CHALLENGE

The objective of the game is to get your balloons as high as possible whilst utilising or avoiding objects in the sky along the way. These being airplanes, dark clouds, bonus clouds, directional clouds and tornadoes.

The higher a balloon goes (and stays!) up, the higher are the points awarded. Balloons score five points for each step they ascend.

Play is turn-based with yourself either against the computer (with selectable easy, normal or hard difficulty), or against another human.

Enjoy.

Steve.

Thanks so much, remember playing this with my brother on our real old IBM! One thing: if you leave the game for a couple of minutes, the game will automatically play your turn for you. I wish there were a way to pause it. Also, the colour of the balloon I choose always starts out being rainbow colour but then changes. I really don't care about the mentioned glitches though..i freaking love this game and i play average 10 matches a day! Again, thanks so much for 'converting'? this pc game to android xxx

The only problem I found is that when my screen blacks out after 15 sec of not touching the screen (to save battery) the game closes and I have to restart :/ (the phone doesnt even lock or anything I just need to press again)

This is perfect. They didn't mess with it or try to modernize it. It's just a well done port of a classic DOS game. Outstanding! Update 11/14/2017 Just got an LG V30. Having same problem as my old Nexus 5X. Freezes on startup screen.

A simple DOS port of a simple game. Fun to play with a friend. If you play against the AI, you best lower the difficulty before you get destroyed.

Love the game. Problem is it does not load past the splash screen on the LG V20.

Pretty accurate and works surprisingly well on the touch interface. It's basically reverse Bolo Ball, so it's a game I grew up on and you've nailed the feel of it.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US THE OTHER CLASSICS LIKE MOUSE MOVES N BOLOBALL. WAITING ANXIOUSLY.

I always loved the classic Dos version of this addicting game. The game play is very simple, yet a true challenge for any puzzle game lover. I had a lot of hope that someone would port this game to the android platform. The touch based control of android phones, and other devices is the perfect match for this type of game. A ton of hard work and testing went into this release and I hope everyone enjoys this game as much as I have over the past few months of alpha testing. A BIG Thanks to all involved. T.H.

Balloon freakin' Challenge for Android! Exactly what I wanted back in 2011 when I covered this on YouTube. Plays just like the awesome original and includes sweet extra features like tabletop multiplayer and the ability to customize your balloons. Excellent.

A simple game with simple graphics in a small package, but with tons of character and replay value. We need more of this on the Play Store. A big, hearty thank you to Clint for showing me, and many others, this game and to the developer for doing a cracking job at porting this classic :) Keep it up good sir :D

Great fun! A simple game but excellent way to spend a few minutes here and there. Love the old school MS-DOS sound fx too!

I'd never heard of the original 8-bit game but I'm addicted to this! It takes a few goes to learn how it works, but once you've got the idea it's simple to play. It's one of those games though where you're way ahead of the computer, heading for a huge victory, and suddenly the tables turn and you find you're beaten. Just one more go then... A retro cracker!

Great job the Port. Like many people here, LGR bought this to my attention. An amazingly simple game with enough randomness and tough decision making it last a long time. The local multiplayer with the flip display feature is awesome.
