How it feels

You float gently through serene skies in virtual reality, piloting a hot air balloon at a calm, meditative pace with beautiful vistas and light golf-like activities.

What players say

Players call this the best VR hot air balloon simulator for its relaxing, slow-paced flight and intuitive controls, but opinions split on polish. Some praise the lighting and variety of environments, others call the graphics bland and the balloons on rails. Longtime players note early access progress through 2019 but say development stalled.
