Can you survive falling from the sky without a parachute? What comes up must fall down. When the balloons that were holding you up in the sky popped, you find yourself falling swiftly back to the ground. The only way to ensure that you land on a safe island and not in shark infested waters is to pop balloons on your way down. However, the balloons you pop must be of the same color as the ones that were keeping you afloat or you'll be knocked off course and land in hot water.
