Balloon Barrage is battleship with water balloons. You and your opponent each hide a fleet of five pets on a 10x10 grid, then take turns throwing balloons at squares until one fleet is fully splashed.

Where to find it

Your fleet

Every game you place the same five pets, each with its own footprint:

  • Frostyserpent — 4 squares in a line
  • Grelephant — a 2x2 block (4 squares)
  • Cosmagator — 3 squares in a line
  • Blufox — 2 squares in a line
  • Your active pet — a single square, the hardest target on the board

First player to splash all 5 enemy pets wins.

Game modes

  • VS Computer — practice against the AI on easy, medium, or hard. Limited to 10 AI games per day.
  • Quick Match (PvP) — real-time matches against another player, unlimited. Placement phase is 60 seconds and each turn has a 45-second timer; run out of time and your turn is skipped. If you disconnect you have 30 seconds to reconnect before the match is forfeited.

Rewards

Current live payouts per game:

  • VS Computer wins: easy 15-25 MPC, medium 25-40 MPC, hard 40-60 MPC. Losses pay 5-10 MPC on any difficulty.
  • PvP: win 50-100 MPC, loss 15-25 MPC.

Winners can stack two bonuses on top:

  • Perfect Game (zero misses): +50% coins.
  • Quick Victory (win in 20 throws or fewer): +25% coins.

A perfect, fast PvP win pays up to 175 MPC. The game also tracks your win streak, best streak, perfect games, and fastest win on your stats panel.

Good habits

  • Learn the shapes: once you hit the Grelephant, probe in a square pattern, not a line.
  • Use a checkerboard search pattern — every pet covers at least 2 adjacent squares except the 1-square active pet, so hitting every other square finds the big fleet fast.
  • Save corner-by-corner sweeping for the single-square pet at the end; it is usually the last one standing.
  • Hard AI pays roughly triple what easy pays for a win, so move up as soon as you win consistently.
  • Only queue for PvP when you can finish the match — turn timers keep games moving, but abandoning counts as a loss.
