BLIMPS is a new retro open-world adventure RPG that puts you in charge of an electric airship cargo delivery company. Armed with water, fire, ice cannons, and a couple of hangar Robots to help you on your way. Can you learn to make it in this world of BLIMPS only to escape it?

With a bit of perseverance, you might be the one to escape from this world of multiplying BLIMPS! So take to the skies and safely deliver cargo, or try to pirate cargo from another blimp if you dare.

This rogue-lite puzzle game involves flying around, battling, crafting, exploring, harvesting, smuggling, and racing to be the first to find the Moon Crystal. Complete 77 tasks and earn 11 passport stamps and eight pilot wings.

77 TASKS, 11 PASSPORT STAMPS, AND 8 PILOT WINGS TO EARN: BLIMPS features 77 tasks, 11x passport stamps, and eight pilot wings that players can earn through dedicated gameplay.

DAFFODIL "MEDAL OF HONOR" STAMP: Retainers of this passport achievement stamp can complete the game in about 2 hours if they know what they are doing and are awarded a lower score bonus. Ed says, "BLIMPS can be completed in about 13 minutes if you are a good hacker and know what to do, but you will not get the Daffodil 'No cheat codes used' achievement stamp low score bonus."

BLIMPS also features unique sound fx and an instrumental soundtrack performed by the band Ashtronaut.

BLIMPS can be played on a tablet/finger/pencil or keyboard/mouse device. In addition, it features partial gamepad controller support (if you want to fly around the world of BLIMPS "twin-stick shooter style.")

Pay once to get the whole BLIMPS experience. BLIMPS contains no ads, in-app purchases, or in-game data collection. Instead, it is just an old-school stand-alone offline family-friendly video game. Rated E for "Everyone."
