Game Details

You ride a bike outfitted with a prop and wings around an aerial course popping hot air balloons and collecting points. You have to complete the level in a preset amount of time to advance to the next level. Additional time may be acquired by popping flashing balloons. The player actually sits on a stationary bicycle that can tip from side to side and back and forth and pedals. The handle bars tip back and forth to control altitude and turn side to side to control direction. The force required on the pedals varies acording to what your trying to do, climbing is more difficult to pedal than descending.
