Balloon! io Reviews

by Deb From Jackson

THIS IS NOT THE GAME I HAVE BEEN PLAYING AND STILL WANT TO PLAY!

What in the world made you decide that it would be a good idea to replace a perfectly good game with something completely different? I don’t know, maybe I might like this new balloon game if the original fruit game was still available. Why didn’t you just offer it as a new game instead of shoving it down everyone’s throats. This has got to be the worst way to get a new game out there.

The game now has full screen, game interruption ads. Icons pop up that make it look like you're closing or skipping the ads but they actually take you to Balloonio store to download the advertised app. Banners and other non-intrusive ads are ok but these new full screen ads with trick clicks make playing incredibly annoying. I deleted Balloonio immediately.

This game was a fun experience with great visuals, however the update changed the formal of the game. This may be opinionated, but I believe the game before the update was more fun, creative, and was really cute! The new update made the fruits look more realistic and not as pleasant. As soon as I saw the new version of this game I was very disappointed.

Hope this helps for any future people thinking to download this game.

I loved this game so much and the new update completely changed the game. I deleted it… it’s not the same :( please bring the old version back.

I have no idea WHAT the devs were thinking when they decided to change the entire game visually.

Please revert the change. Ill even pay for it im begging this new update is ugly & im devastated.

by Kei Wolfe

WHY DID YOU CHANGE THEM!!! Apologies for my lack of restraint but I have been playing this game for quite some time now and the addition of the new themes is not what I take issue with. It’s the fact that the original theme is GONE!! The new theme ‘Melon’ is incredibly ugly, and I’m extremely upset that they changed the cute and simple designs of the fruits. The pineapple looks diseased, again I apologize for my crude behavior but I’ve gotten very emotionally attached to this game because I play it so often and to see the design get gutted like this is heartbreaking. Again I want to reiterate, I don’t personally care that new themes were added, I’m just frustrated that the original theme I grew to love has been replaced by a gross overhaul of textures. The new theme ‘Melon’ is just too busy, it’s too much detail, it makes it hard to play because everything is so complicated that it blurs together.

Also, the pop up screen of ‘New Fruit’ is incredibly annoying to play with because I can’t turn it off even after having seen the ‘new fruit’ for the thousandth time. It’s also annoying to get off my screen in a timely manner and it’s been the downfall of many of my speed runs.

Thank you for your time,

I used to love this game so much. The fruit was so joyous to look at. I would play everyday for tons of minutes. Now I can’t even bare to look at it. Why did it change. Why. I just want to understand how you could ruin such a beautiful game. Replacing fruit for balloons? Biggest mistake. Why balloons. The fruit was cute, calm, and collected. But balloons? None of that. Balloons are evil and cruel. I hope every single one of them pop. Change the game back now. #BringBackTheWaterMelonGame🍉

i used to truly be amused by this game. the other day i went to play the gorgeous fruit game and realized there were balloons instead of fruit? like how could they change such a gorgeous and well made game? i don’t like the new update whatsoever. some may say it’s trash. like why balloons? balloons are so mid evil while fruit is so modern. I used to be extremely fond of this game but not anymore. i would rate this game a 0 but that’s not possible so i give it a 1. don’t get it twisted and now i have to play this game on my Nintendo switch which is so much more work.

The new update is awful, it’s not even the same game I paid good money for. If the change wasn’t for legal reasons then I don’t know what the developers were thinking.

by Mustard1023

This was my go to game for ft when I tell stories or wanna do something fun with friends. I loved seeing who could get the watermelon first or the most points. The fruits were so cute and simple but the balloons are ugly and I hate how they float. I need my fruits back. This is life altering and I’ll never be the same. BRING BACK THE FRUIT!

by Peyton Kleinschmidt

Was such a fun game until you ruined it. Why would I want balloons the fruit brought me happiness but no take it away from me. I don’t know what ran through ur head and told you “let’s change the watermelon game to balloons” but ur dumb stupid idiotic. Broke and crushed my poor little heart. Why.

Almost unplayable with the ads feels like I’m at Christian camp with a gyatt

by Bree-truth Teller

DO NOT NOT NOOOOOOT EVER INSTALL. YOU WILL REGRET IT. ITS RASICST AND UNFAIR. DO NOT EVEN OPEN UNINSTALL NOOOOOOOW.

by SincereRawkus

Every 30s-1min there is an ad awful!

by Zombijewels

So difficult and for what

by Shelbeecrombie

I really loved this game when I first downloaded it, it was fruit merge. Now it’s Balloon IO and I just want to cry because I paid for fruit merge with no ads because I loved it so much and now it’s balloon IO. I can’t stand that it’s upside down. I wish the game wouldn’t keep changing. :( I like the fruits with the faces, I don’t want balloon io. :(

by Mare&mae

Fun game for a short while but am too annoyed by the CONSTANT ads, if you hate games that pause right in the middle for advertisement then add this one to the list 🙄

by Roxas A

I got this game a few months. Now they updated it and visually made it a whole new game. Plus they flipped the board over. What happened to the game I had?

by I ♥︎ BlockManGo!

At first this was a cute and fun game a few days ago that I give 5 stars. Now it’s a 3d game I don’t enjoy.

by Big Adds😢

The game is real nice but the adds are so annoying and the price to play with no adds is ridiculous no even other apps are the expensive

by Licontre_

It is a overall decent game but the bugs kill the game, the fruits jump sometimes for no reason and it gets really annoying. Also sometimes it finishes your for no reason.

Good game but it needs an update.

by That_Guy_Hayden

Balloonio is so frustrating because when I downloaded it, it was WATERMELON GAME and then it updated to FRUIT MERGE and now out of no where it’s BALLOON IO. The first change was okay and it brought cool customization options, but now those options are gone and the gameplay has completely changed. I don’t want to play with balloons. I WANT FRUIT. It really has broken my heart to see this change. I wish I could stay and get used to the balloons. But I can’t. They fly up. Gravity is different. They don’t have unique designs and shapes. It’s bland now. A husk of its former glory days. I did not ask for Balloon IO. I do not want Balloon IO. I’ve tried other merging fruit games but I always came back to this one. I just can’t do that anymore. I’m sorry Balloon IO. But you’ve changed. It’s not me it’s you. I hope you can understand. I love you. But I can’t go on like this.

by Mpsback

It would be five stars if you could continue after getting a watermelon to get a higher score.

by AltBread

The first version of this game was good, then it had this huge revamp that improved the graphics, gameplay, and completely changed the art style for the better. This was was when the game was still a drop fruits from the top and combine them to get a watermelon game.

In the most recent update the entire game has changed again but for the worst; the gameplay is now releasing balloons instead of fruit from the floor to the ceiling with the same combining aspect and complete new design and style on the balloons. These changes ruined the core aspect that made the game fun and ultimately I cannot stand this game anymore.

This game is a shell of its former self, I don’t understand why the creators would improve it to this point then just start a clean state when it’s at its best version yet. The name change was necessary this is not the colorful, cartoony, watermelon game anymore, this is the watered down balloon game.

by LDogzVideos

It’s got.. erm.. interesting physics.. obviously, some of which are realistic, but especially when you’re just starting out, there’s either absolutely NO FRICTION or the fruits just NEVER SEEM TO MOVE AT ALL. Plus, often you’ll find that if you get cherries stuck in the corners, they’re absolutely stuck there until you make a strawberry, which will STILL be absolutely stuck there. Only until you make a grape is it possible to move it out of there. I do appreciate the fact that they combine rlly easily, tho. Something else that I find interesting is that once you find certain fruits, you can drop even more of them in. This is helpful, of course, but with just the right amount of luck it gives you a free win. Like, I literally had a melon, and then the game let me drop in ANOTHER melon and then BOOM it made a watermelon. Anywho, at least the skins of the fruits are mostly original and make the game nice. It’s one of the better watermelon games, however, I would recommend searching for other ones before getting this one :)

by MattDickey

- Please add an option to hide the “New Fruit” dialogs. It’s distracting when I can’t see the chain reaction that continues behind it.

- Consider a way for the player to see the game where they “lost”. Immediately seeing the scoreboard with no way to return to see my game is a bummer.

by Jackson 121212

The game itself is great it all acts just like the suika game however it would be nice to be able to continue play after creating the watermelon

by Fun But Wayyy Too Many Ads

Love the game and it’s really relaxing until every five seconds you get an add and suddenly it’s not relaxing anymore

by D1moreau

This game is very fun lol

by Carl98121 God Is Good

Add these for it to make it better and longer
- onion
- blue berry
- plum?
- pear
- Chico
- lanzones
- gueva
- lychee

Some other ideas
- add in animation for the end of the game then you get the water melon

- add a cloud at top because it would look cool

by Bigblufish

Please put back to previous version the 3d graphics is not as cute.

by Jhersh187

Awesome

by XBYZH Flamingo Guard

Can we doing the game and it is so fun I get to do go to challenges and I try to figure out and use my brain. I love it.

by Oscaroc4520

by Urmomisthethebomb.com

It keeps you entertained and it makes you think about strategy and space! Its so simple and cute but very creative

by Gannle

by Kbval

Game is relaxing and fun

by Center Gggggg

It’s really hard but really 🤩 20/10

by SantosA1111

It fun bc it a matching game

by Mmmmwwwwwsssss

This is the best game ever

by 还好没问题好的

okay ima be honest. this acts exactly like suika game. its ONLY downside is the lack of bg music. If you complain about the ad, get an ad blocker. I recommend LunaAdblock if you want the whole immersive experience! good job.👏

by Slay Hop

This game if filled with action and it is so funny! The game is suspenseful because if you do not get the right fruit you will lose a chance on getting to the end. It is definitely a game that you depend on luck to make it to the end. SO GOOD!!!!!

by Pockyimpocky

thank you for giving us the option to switch themes. it's not the same as it was before, but i definitely like it better than the 3d
