After playing Sir Benfro’s Brilliant Balloon in class the other day, I instantly wanted to try it out for myself. I’m glad that I did. The first thing that got my attention was the art style. The quirky, sketch-like, and flat art of the whole game pulled me in right away. However, after only a few seconds after launching the app, what got me really excited was not the art style, but the music. The music created this whole new mood that fit the game extremely well. It was happy, adventure music, reminiscent of Little Big Planet. It got to the point where I would play levels over and over again, especially the first level, Yellow Leaves, just to listen to the cheerful music. My main reason for continuing to play was just to hear the beautiful music.
In terms of gameplay, Sir Benfro’s Brilliant Balloon is just a reincarnation of classic games such as Helicopter, and Jetpack with a few new twists. All the player needs to do is collect “fireflies”, which are just floating balls of light, to keep the player afloat all while avoiding crashing into the walls or big animals that cross your path. Just get to the end before you run out of fireflies and that’s it. Simple. But also enjoyable.
By no means is Sir Benfro’s Brilliant Balloon a huge, heavy duty, iPad app such as Infinity Blade or other games of the like. But at the same time, it is just as great as its differing cousins, just in terms of completely different aspects. The game is great. Simple and beautiful and extremely pleasing to listen to.
