Skyballast: Wind Atlas

About Skyballast: Wind Atlas

Skyballast is an offline navigation puzzle campaign about steering a balloon by choosing the right wind at the right altitude.

Read layered forecasts, climb or descend into useful currents, preserve ballast and gas, avoid dangerous conditions, and commit a landing while enough lift remains. Sixty authored flights reward planning, controlled chains, and precise approaches.

Campaign stars and best scores remain on this device. The illustrated fieldbook provides an offline reference for altitude bands, forecast confidence, lift, hazards, landing windows, and scoring.

The new Flight Planner lets you practice the tradeoff directly. Adjust wind alignment and lift reserve, introduce an icing layer, and watch landing confidence respond. A deterministic daily moving-field approach provides the same date-based challenge without an account or server.

Skyballast includes local achievements, haptic and high-contrast preferences, reduced-effects controls, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, and adaptive iPhone and iPad layouts.

Skyballast is an abstract strategy game, not an aviation planning instrument.

One paid download includes every flight and feature. There are no subscriptions, ads, in-app purchases, accounts, analytics SDKs, weather feeds, or remote unlocks.
