Sunny Meadows on iPad: the level name, your time and the three-star target in the corner.

One thumb

Hold to fly. Let go to sink.

Touch and hold to fire the burner and rise; let go and the balloon drifts back down. Where you hold steers it: just off centre for a gentle drift, right out at the edge to swing harder.

  • Thread your balloon through twisty tunnels to the chequered flag
  • Spikes, saws, lava, lightning and creatures in the way
  • Every level is a hand-made maze, and every one is a race

240 levels across 8 worlds

Seven worlds, each with its own tricks

Thirty levels in every world, plus a festive bonus world. Collect stars to open the next one.
