You have a “shield” or barrier (often a circular protective plane) that you can move around the balloon to push objects aside.
You swipe or drag on the screen to reposition your shield around the balloon. (While the store page doesn’t explicitly describe the swipe controls, that’s the common mechanic for this kind of game.)
You must time your moves carefully pushing obstacles too late or too aggressively can send them flying in directions that block the balloon again.
The higher you get (the further in the level), the more frequent and more complex obstacles appear.
Go Up is a reflex game in which you protect a fragile balloon on its way into the sky. The balloon rises on its own, and your job is to clear the path above it so nothing pointy or heavy can pop it.
The sky is crowded with all sorts of objects, including blocks, beams and triangles, and they drift into the balloon's path. You control a shield that moves around the balloon, and you use it to push those obstacles aside before they hit. The higher you climb, the trickier the arrangements become, so you need sharp reactions and good timing.
You move the shield by swiping or dragging on the screen, and the game also works with a mouse on desktop. It is free and well suited to short sessions. Stay slightly above the balloon instead of right beside it, so the shield meets obstacles early and has room to push them away, and be careful not to knock heavy objects sideways into the balloon.
If it clicks with you, OrbaDrone - Robot Escape, CrowdGate and OUTSIDE are close in spirit.
