Use gravity, tension, and wind currents to get your hot air balloon to its destination, dropping off cargo on your way, in this ultra-challenging game. You'll have to use your skill, wit, and reflexes, to complete all of The Howler's dozens of levels. All art used in the Howler was meticulously created by classically-trained experienced painters. The majority of the art was created is by Rene Petruliene: all the graphic design was drawn by hand, on paper, the old fashioned way. The Howler was inspired by Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.

Beautiful puzzle game

The Howler is kind of like a platformer where you have to avoid the platforms. You only control whether the balloon goes up or not, you have to use the wind currents to gain velocity. It's pretty well done, except the arrows indicating wind direction shouldn't just be in the middle of the section, that's a big flaw. Other than that the art is beautiful and there's even a bit of a story.
