Featured Game: Balloon Sweeper!

Today's featured game brings us back to Ziara. Can you clear the hangar without setting off a stink bomb in Balloon Sweeper? If you can manage that feat, there are EPICon points in it for you! And if you're careful enough to clear it on the hard setting, you can earn additional bonus points!

As always, you can continue to revisit any combination of our EPICon games to earn up to 70 regular EPICon points a day!

Ugh, I am so bad at minesweeper D: I did the 10 easy games but I think this will be the first time I won't get any bonus points. I even powered thorugh Subeku on hard but this is even worse, somehow...

I wish there was a way to turn off the music but keep the bang/pop sounds.. the music distracts me, but the sound effects actually help me stay focused.. with both of them ON they cancel each other out and I just get annoyed with the slow rythm of the music so I turn it OFF but then I miss the sound effects.. >___>

I adore minesweeper, so I thank you (greatly) for that. However, why on earth did you make it impossible to see the numbers, or even a noticeable difference between popped balloons and the background? D: I have to actually mark the bombs. I haven't done that in YEARS.

Man, I suck at this game! I can barely manage the easy games, let alone the hard ones. No bonus points for me today! I love the music though, could listen to it all day!

I hit submit score after I got a bomb first turn. I think you have to do that to get the achievement.

I dont get why people say this and subeku are hard on the eyes...they are brown/sand colour. Would you guys rather they be bright neons or something. o3o;

There's something really wrong with the achievements, it's counting three wins for every one win. And the stink bomb achieve doesn't seem to be working (unless we need to send score for it?)

I'm really loving the music though ❤

A great game, unfortunately the graphics could be better. I can hardly tell the difference between balloons, popped balloons and figures. Even zoomed in, and on different screens - almost not to distinguish. Maybe if the background was a little lighter, or the figures without popped balloons in the background?

Where are the instructions to the game? I have never played minesweeper - so some info would be good.

And I love the Huge Mistake title :o by the way I zoomed in my screen 1 time (ctrl button and the + sign) to make it (very slightly) easier to play the game, don't know if it helps anybody else see things but it helps me a little

The font for the numbers is hard to read, and the popped balloons make it so cluttered so it's confusing. D:

Wow, someone was saying Subeku was hard on the eyes but this makes me think the creators don't even think about how hard it is to stare at these games. I like minesweeper but this is difficult to deal with just looking at all the colors blending together. A difference in the background and the balloons would help.

Can someone please tell me (via profile comments) how to determine my score? Twice now I've sent it in without receiving any sP or epicon points. I thought I had marked all the bombs?

Thank you everyone for answering ! And extra thanks for explaining that we don't get the point for losing. I think I will hold out on that.
