Wind Control
Guide a red balloon through eight sky-high levels by steering the wind. Dodge spiky bars and spinning spike balls, grab stars and float into the goal ring.
Wind Control is a gentle physics arcade game where you never touch the balloon directly. Instead you are the breeze. Hold and drag anywhere and the wind blows the balloon toward your finger; let go and the air goes calm while the balloon slowly drifts upward. The goal is to nudge it past spiky obstacles and into the dashed green ring at the top of each level.
There are eight handcrafted levels that build up one idea at a time. The first is an open sky with a couple of stars to collect. Later levels add spiked bars that turn the course into a zigzag, clusters of round spike balls, sliding bars that sweep back and forth, and spinning hazards that patrol narrow gaps. The balloon has momentum and a top speed, so smooth, steady gusts work better than frantic swipes. Collecting every star in a level and finishing fast both add bonus points, and you have three balloons to clear the whole set.
This balloon steering game is for players who enjoy calm, precise control with a little tension. Keyboard players can blow the wind with the arrow keys or WASD. Tip: release the wind early before a gap, because the balloon keeps drifting for a moment after the breeze stops.
How to play
Hold and drag on the screen, or use the arrow keys or WASD, to blow wind that pushes the balloon toward that direction. Avoid every spike, collect stars for bonus points and float into the green goal ring to clear the level. Touching a spike pops the balloon and costs one of three lives. Clear all eight levels to win.
