Puff Up is a short-level number puzzle about popping a padlock off a rope with balloons. Each balloon carries a number, and you need enough of them to bring the lock's number down to zero before the timer runs out. It is quick to pick up, and the bright paint splats when balloons burst are satisfying.
How to play
A padlock with a number hangs from a rope at the top of the play area. Hold to blow up a balloon, which grows and gets a bigger number the longer you hold. Let go and it floats up into the lock. The balloon's number is taken off the lock's number, as long as the balloon is big enough.
The lock's number has to reach zero within the time limit shown at the top. You also have a limited number of moves, shown on the left. Once the lock is cleared, the level is complete and the next one starts with a different lock number and layout.
Controls
- Hold (mouse button or screen): inflate a balloon
- Release: let the balloon float up
Tips
- Check the lock's number before you start, so you know roughly how big your balloons need to be.
- Watch the moves counter. With only a few moves you need bigger balloons, so hold for longer.
- Keep an eye on the timer. Holding too long on one balloon can cost you the level.
- In later levels the numbers get bigger, as level 2 starts with a lock of 20.
Who it's for
Suits younger players and families who want a calm, quick puzzle with simple numbers. The timer and limited moves add some pressure, but early levels look easy.
