Getting started with balloons and ropes
Step
When you first join, random objects are waiting for you to experiment with. Attach a balloon to one and watch it lift off, then use a rope to link objects together and see how they move as a pair. Once the basics feel natural, a private server opens up free building tools that give you a lot more to work with.
- Add a balloon attach it and watch how the object behaves in the air.
- Try a rope connect two objects and see how one pulls the other.
- Move to a private server access the free building tools that are only available there.
Private servers and the flying carpet
Tips
The game itself strongly recommends playing in a private server. The free building tools are only available there. The tools themselves cost nothing once you are inside. Separately, joining the game's official Roblox group rewards you with a flying carpet you can use in the game.
- The free building tools only unlock inside a private server, not on the public map.
- You can still attach balloons and ropes for free on the public map.
- Renting a private server follows Roblox's standard pricing, but the tools inside are free.
- Joining the official group gives you a flying carpet as an extra item.
Destinations and the badges that go with them
Check
Each destination you reach unlocks a badge. The developers themselves describe the Moon as a relatively easy first goal. Daphnis, a tiny moon of Saturn, has extremely low gravity, which changes how things behave when you arrive. Reaching 100,000 height points at any point earns the Top of the World badge, separate from any planetary destination. The Santa Balloon badge is only available in December, so keep that in mind if you want the full set.
