Patch 8

In this patch we are finally introducing bots, and some exciting game format changes including respawning!

Bots

Bots have been added to party matches allowing you to play solo or with friends in any of the party match types.
Bots use the same characters as humans, and need to collect their weapons and powerups just like human players.
Free for all games will be topped up with bots up to 5 players.
Team matches will split human players across teams before filling any remaining slots with bots.
Online matchmaking will continue to use only human players for the time being.

Game Format and Scoring Changes

Rounds are now time limited (5 minutes).
Points are awarded for damage, with bonuses for balloon pops and downing other players.
Downed players will respawn with a full set of balloons but without any previously collected weapons. Previously, the round ended once there was a single player (or team) left with balloons and players would have to wait on the level floor for the match to end.

Balloonatics is an action-packed, vehicle-based deathmatch where you pilot your basket while collecting weapons to sink your opponents.

Throw some floating mines or use your slingshot to launch a box of angry bees at your opponent. Put up shield walls to protect yourself while you strategically plan your next move. Guns are too easy! Let's see how well you aim when you have to account for wind and weight. Collect, dodge, and attack to be the last Balloonatic in the air.

VR and Non-VR - No discrimination here!

Play against (or team up with) VR players and non-VR players at the same time. Balloonatics has been developed with both types of players in mind, and balanced to keep things fair no matter how you choose to play.

Team Battles

Invite your friends and take on your opponents while you navigate your way to victory!

Solo Challenges

Put your piloting skills to the test in our single player challenges. Compete on the leader-boards to see how your skills stack up.

Weapons!

Like to play strategic? Deploy some smoke and set a mine trap for your enemies.
Defensive? Set up shields and use your slingshot to take out targets at a distance.
Or just rush in with a bazooka and saw slinger and hope for the best. ¯/_(ツ)_/¯

Peaceful Environments

Thunderstorms? Falling lava rocks? Giant saws? Yeah, our environments are as peaceful as they come.
