UK developer Mobile Amusements has released its first iPhone game onto the App Store. It's called Balloonacy, and sees you guiding a balloon around maze-like levels by tilting your handset.

You'll be searching for keys to open walls, while nabbing extra-life balloons. However, touch walls or obstacles and your balloon bursts.

The game's free, thanks to the advertising that runs within it. As far as we're aware, it's one of the first ad-funded iPhone games to appear on the App Store.

That means it connects to the network though - we're not sure what happens if you try to play when you don't have network reception. Hopefully it doesn't stop you playing the game.

Balloonacy will be going head-to-head with the impressive Dizzy Bee, which offers similar tilt action.

Imagine a combination of the two: bees and balloons. Actually, maybe that's not such a good idea. Anyway, you can grab Balloonacy by clicking here.
