The Balloon Fighter uses arm-flapping mechanics to control altitude and navigate the skies. Players must pop the balloons of enemy fighters to force them into parachutes, then intercept them before they can inflate new balloons. Success requires avoiding man-eating sharks in the water below while competing in single-player or two-player modes.
