Today we are releasing another significant update for Balloonatics.

Every character in the game now has a unique special ability.

  • Darwin: Big Friggin Bazooka - Deliver a laser guided missile with the help of your trusty laser eye.
  • Thana: Shield of Bones - Spawn a shield made of bones that spins around your balloons making it difficult for your enemies to attack.
  • Klause: Ice Day for a Cool Down - Blast enemies with your ice gun covering their fans with a block of ice. They won't be going anywhere for a while.
  • Sicario: Into the Shadows - Turn invisible for a short time. Perfect for sneaking up on an enemy... or getting away from one.
  • Merve: Banana Split - Launch a banana into the sky, then watch as it splits into a volley of bombs that fly towards enemy balloons.
  • Kali: Pounce - Teleport quickly across the map leaving a dangerous wake of acidic mist.

New Weapon
