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 — take on one of three poolside rivals: Puddle the Grelephant (easy), Misty the Frostyserpent (medium), or Cosmo the Cosmagator (hard). Limited to 10 rival games per day — PvP matches never count against that limit.
  • Quick Match (PvP) — real-time matches against another player, unlimited. If nobody else is waiting, a bot opponent joins after about 20 seconds so a match always starts; bot matches pay the same rewards. 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.

Playing on a phone

  • The pools shrink to fit your screen, so all ten columns are always in view. If you ever see a board cut off, refresh the page to pick up the latest version.
  • On phones and tablets the game switches to full screen as soon as you start a match, hiding the site menu so both pools and the turn timer fit on one screen. Tap Exit in the top corner to go back to the normal page; the game remembers your choice, and the Full screen button on the placement and battle screens turns it back on.
  • Turn your phone sideways during a battle to see both pools side by side.

Rewards

Current live payouts per game:

  • VS Computer wins: beating Puddle pays 15-25 MPC, Misty 25-40 MPC, and Cosmo 40-60 MPC. Losses pay 5-10 MPC against any rival. Your active pet also earns XP from rival games: 15/20/25 for beating Puddle/Misty/Cosmo, 5 for a loss.
  • PvP: win 50-100 MPC, loss 15-25 MPC. Win or lose, a PvP match also earns your active pet 30 XP.

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.
  • Cosmo pays roughly triple what Puddle pays for a win, so move up a rival 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.
