About
Don't Pop the Balloon is a challenging co-op adventure that ties you and your friend to a single balloon with a delicate string. Your goal is clear: move in perfect harmony and reach the end of the level without popping the balloon.
Use the distance between you to control the balloon:
Get closer: The balloon rises
Move apart: The balloon lowers
Too far apart: The string stretches and the balloon pops!
You must maintain this balance to survive tight spaces and traps.

Tight Spaces
Every mistake sends you back to the last checkpoint.
Support your friend through tough sections.
Use it to destroy enemies at certain points.
Or test your friend's patience by pushing them into traps.
2 Players Required: Cannot be played solo — syncing with your partner is a must.
Online & Local Co-op: Play side by side or remotely.
The number of checkpoints varies based on the difficulty you choose:
Easy: All checkpoints active.
Medium: Checkpoint after every 2 traps.
Hard: Checkpoint after every 3 traps.
Impossible: NO checkpoints! (Exclusively for brave players seeking a real challenge.)
Take a deep breath and trust your partner. Let's see if you can complete the course, or if you'll end up disappointed along with your balloon.

We had so much fun playing this game. We struggled at times, but that was part of what made it so enjoyable. It's truly a great game.
Great game to play with your friends for lots of laughs and fun
Had a great time playing this game with my friend. It's fun, enjoyable, and absolutely worth the price. The levels have different difficulty levels, so the game stays fresh and challenging without becoming frustrating. There's always something new to overcome. Definitely a game I can recommend to anyone looking for a fun experience.
super fun with a friend
Das Spiel macht richtig Spaß. Es ist anspruchsvoll und unterhaltsam und man kann super mit einem Freund zusammen spielen. Die Level sind nicht unmöglich oder zu schwierig, aber man muss gut mit seinem Freund kommunizieren, und genau das macht den Spielspaß aus.
難易度高いけど面白い!進むごとに新しくて様々な罠が出てきて、フレンドと息を合わせて風船割らないように進むのがめっちゃ楽しかった。
笑いが止まらないくらい面白かったです。 相方さんと息を合わせないとすぐ風船が割れたり吹っ飛ばされたりします。 いろんなステージがあって飽きずに楽しめるのでみなさんもぜひ遊んでみて下さい!
Mi è piaciuto molto. All'inizio sembra semplice, ma andando avanti bisogna stare sempre attenti a proteggere il palloncino. Alcuni dettagli delle meccaniche mi hanno sorpreso in positivo e mi hanno fatto continuare più del previsto. Bel lavoro !!
Arkadaşla oynamalık bayağı sarıyor, yanındaki adamın zekasına göre oyunun zorluğu değişiyor
oyunun oynanisi olsun parkurlari olsun gayet guzel ve keyif verici kesinlikle ama oynicaginiz kisiyi iyi secmezseniz sinaviniz basliyor ve durum kotulesebiliyor. arkadasimla gayet eglendik oynarken uzun sure sonra bir oyunda bu kadar eglendigimizi hatirlamiyorum. geliştirenlerin eline saglik.
