Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The islands of your Empire have been invaded, and only you and your war balloon can save them!! Tilt and swerve your phone to fly your balloon through an array of different missions and enemies. Use cannons, missiles and bombs to blast and pop your way to victory! Features: - Simple, fun, addictive gameplay - just point, shoot, and pop!! - Stereo sound effects as your enemies buzz around you and attack from all sides! - Red+cyan anaglyph 3D (with 3D glasses). - One of the original accelerometer / gyroscope mobile games. - Runs magnificently on older and lower-spec devices. If you spot any bugs or if the app doesn't work for any reason, please let us know. We can't fix things we don't know about! :-) Known issues: - Help, I'm seeing double! Sounds like you have the anaglyph stereo 3D turned on by mistake, so go to the Options screen and turn it off by setting "Stereo 3D Depth" to zero.
