Thorn And Balloons
GameHubThorn and Balloons is a physics puzzle game published by Hooda Math. Every level has a spiky black ball, the thorn, and a group of colored balloons packed between walls and blocks. You get one shot to fling the thorn so that it bounces around the level and pops every balloon.
Pull back and let go
Press on the thorn, drag away from the direction you want it to fly and let go. How far you pull sets how hard it flies. The thorn bounces off walls and blocks and keeps moving until it slows down and stops, so many levels are solved by sending it into a wall and letting the bounce carry it into balloons you could not reach in a straight line.
Pop them all or start over
A level is only won when no balloon is left. If the thorn comes to rest while even one balloon is still there, the screen shows FAIL and a button to try the same level again. After a shot, the button in the top left corner also restarts the level, which is handy when you can already see the shot has gone wrong.
Ninety levels
The level select screen shows the levels six at a time, from LV1 up to LV90, with an arrow to turn the page. Levels you have not reached yet show a question mark instead of a preview. Your progress is saved in the browser, so the levels you have opened are still there when you come back. Some levels add platforms, ropes and other obstacles between the thorn and the balloons.
Controls
On a computer, press the left mouse button on the thorn, drag to aim and release to shoot. On a phone or tablet, do the same with your finger. The sound button sits in the top right corner of the level select screen.
