Take to the skies in a hot air balloon and explore a vast beautiful landscape. Ballooning Adventures has been specially developed for Gear VR. Using the built in touchpad or a gamepad, pilot your balloon through breathtaking scenery. Find all of the secrets and explore all three realms. An uplifting soundtrack will accompany you through this dreamlike experience. After a while you will become an expert balloon pilot, accurately triggering each collectable. Fly thousands of feet up, find your target then swoop down to skim across the fields and drift through narrow canyons. Ballooning Adventures employs a vectored thrust and drift mechanic that combines the gentleness of balloon fight with a steerable and intuitive control.

Play to relax and escape, or complete all missions and 100% the game.

Great Finish

I just completed Ballooning and it was a wonderful adventure. When you get all the way through there is a great surprise. My favorite game!

It's desorientating asf that you move inside the ballon just by looking down.. Not rly a good user experience

A very different flight simulator

Drifting around in a baloon is a very different experience to most of my flight simulators but its very relaxing and enjoyable for a change of pace. Your baloon drifts in the direction you were facing when you used the burners and its speed is determined by the duration of the burn. Using the burner makes you go up, letting air out of the baloon lets you down again. If you want to slow down turn around and use the burners again. To fly the baloon you need to turn around so to play it properly you will either need to be standing or sitting on a swivel chair. It would benefit from the ability to turn around using the gamepad rather than having to physically turn around. Lovely for a change of pace.

Fun to shoot the rockets

I got this right after I watched "The Aeronauts" on Amazon. Wish this were on Quest where you could use two hands to climb up the outside of the balloon to knock the ice off the top damper while getting your lace up boot caught.
