Player's Review
"Phileas Fogg took a break from his round the World Voyage to help the allies who were under heavy fire on all sides. He decides to use his balloon to scout the enemy's area and destroy his installations. Equipped with a supply of sandbags, bombs and hydrogen, Phileas takes off to begin his mission."
What an annoying game. Probably the worst control scheme in a game ..ever! Released as a budget helps to take some of the sting away and it does have some nice gfx and music, but that first impression is lost when you cant control the thing.
To raise the balloon you need to drop sandbags with up+fire. To lower the Balloon, you drop Bombs with down+fire . Each of these actions causes the wind to change direction. you can force the balloon in the winds direction slowly or boost in the opposite direction. It can be annoying to drop all your bombs when trying to land. The mission is to drop bombs on the buildings. There are also warehouses to land it if you need to refill with supplies. All the while there are enemies aiming to shoot you down.
The game is seemingly endless. After seven levels, the game loops the last three forever more. (tested with level skip trainer)
