When the sun goes down the night balloonists battle for pollen over a sea of ink.

• Local 2-4 Player competitive multiplayer, join or leave a game at any time.
• Deep one button gameplay: Spit ink and boost into opponents, raise and lower your balloon to catch airstreams, dodge enemy attacks or capture pollen.
• Play with keyboard or Xbox360 gamepads, includes force feedback support.

The Night Balloonists was originally created for the GAMMA 4 One Button Games competition. Like all games created for GAMMMA 4 it uses only a single button per player. No arrow keys, mouse, joystick or d-pad. GAMMA games are meant to be played in a large social setting with people playing short bursts while others spectate. The Night Balloonists is optimized for these settings and have included a continuous side display that teaches spectators the basic gameplay.

However we've found it also plays great if you have a few friends over and want a good quick party game to play together. The one button interface makes it a great game to play with non gamers who are intimidated by complex controls.

We have also tried to optimize the game for 'one-switch' devices used by players with disabilities. If you use such a device and have found our setup doesn't work for you give us a shout. That said, the game inherently requires fast precise button presses and 'double tapping' so it may not be suitable for all players.
