BLIMPS is a throwback sandbox adventure with 77 missions to complete and an original score.

BLIMPS is a desktop/tablet workbench game that puts you in the captain's chair of an electric airship cargo delivery corporation—armed with water, fire, ice cannons, and a couple of hanger Robots to help you on your way. Can you learn to survive in this world of Blimps only to escape it?

With a bit of perseverance, you might be the one to survive and escape this world of multiplying Blimps! So, take to the skies and safely deliver cargo, or attempt to loot cargo from the other pirate Blimps if you dare.

This rogue-lite casual puzzle game involves collecting, competing, educating, battling, delivering, crafting, gathering, rescuing, earning, exploring, smuggling, shooting, racing, hacking, training, sieging, and surviving in your fragile Blimp.

Players can complete 77x primary and 12x side missions to earn 11x passport stamps and 8x pilot wings.

  1. To become good at playing Blimps:

Focus on collecting the element and mineral resources and completing the first few missions. One of the first challenges is to learn how to make a better battery for your Blimp, so you have enough power to fly around the world longer.

  1. The freedom to play Blimps your way:

Blimps is an open world. It does not force you to do anything. You are in control and have the freedom to play your way. However, refrain from letting that confuse you about what to do next. Pay attention to completing each mission; you will learn how to complete the challenges with dedicated gameplay.

  1. The need to connect with other Blimps players:

Unfortunately, this is not a multiplayer game. It is an offline, single-player, workbench/sandbox type of game. You must communicate and participate in an online community discussing Blimps to help each other. It can be a frustrating game if you do not seek help. We have tried our best to include as much H.E.L.P. inside the game to assist you in having fun playing the game.

Game Features:

  1. BLIMPS features unique sound F.X. and an instrumental soundtrack performed by the band Ashtronaut.
  2. BLIMPS supports gamepad controllers, tablets, fingers, pencils, keyboards, and mouse devices.
  3. Pay once to get the whole BLIMPS experience:
  4. There are no Ads, F2P mechanics, in-app purchases, or in-game Data collection.
  5. Instead, it is just an old-school, stand-alone, offline, family-friendly video game.
  6. Rated E for "Everyone."

"We hope you enjoy the game. Thanks for playing!"
