Thorn And Balloons

A physics puzzle with one action per level. Balloons are arranged around a space, you place or release a thorn, and it falls under gravity popping whatever it touches — which means the solution is not a single accurate hit but an arrangement where one pop leads to the next. That chain requirement is what gives the levels their depth. A popped balloon releases whatever was resting on it, so the order of pops matters and the intended solution usually relies on something falling into place after the first contact. Levels that look like they need precision generally need the thorn dropped somewhere slightly unexpected, so that gravity does the rest of the work. There is no timer and no attempt limit, which makes it suitable for children and for anyone who wants to think rather than react. Levels take under a minute and the progression adds arrangements rather than precision requirements. The presentation is bright and the physics are consistent enough to reason about. It plays with one tap on a phone, runs on anything, and is a gentle, well-made example of a format that rewards looking before acting.
