Special Nitrome's first released sequel

Hot Air 2: All Blown Up, also known as Hot Air 2, is an action-puzzle game released in 2007, and also Nitrome's first released sequel. In the game, the main character, Hot Air, has a girlfriend and is trying to rescue her after she is captured by Baron von Blimp.

The game has several new enemies, as well as some enemies from its prequel, Hot Air, that have been redone or been given new counterparts. In the sequel, players were able make balloons using the Hot Air Balloon Maker, then use them as characters. When the balloon maker was taken down due to the humongous amount of balloons made, all player-created balloons were removed from the game.

PreviewsEdit

JanuaryEdit

A preview image for Hot Air 2 was shown on Nitrome's old 2006/2007 website, Nitrome 1.2.

FebruaryEdit

In February of 2007, Nitrome released an advertisement on their site that linked to a whole page about the upcoming game. The page's background was similar to the game's title screen, and it included four screenshots from the game. Beneath the game title it listed the new, upcoming features for the game, such as: "New boss fights", "Scrolling levels", "Unlock new balloons", "New map screen" and "And more".

The player could click on the screenshots to enlarge them, and then scroll through them. Beneath the screenshots were captions that had comments that Nitrome made about the game, such as "Screenshots (1/4) - Be careful around some of the new types of traps that await you in the game!"

JulyEdit

A trailer was also posted on July 4, 2007, showing excerpts of the levels and some of the other features in Hot Air 2.

Unknown datesEdit

These are the preview images released on unknown dates, presumably sometimes during 2007.

Beta elementsEdit

When Mat was reviewed by Free Games News about Hot Air 2[2] being released in February 2007, an image of a beta room from the game was used. The only difference in the picture is the background and coloured blocks - instead of the blocks being coloured grey, they are coloured green.

  • Hot Air 2 is the first released Nitrome game that allows players to change their character's appearance.
  • The music in the Miniclip version of Hot Air 2 was completely different than the music in the Nitrome version.
    • The music tracks played in the Miniclip version were extra themes Lee Nicklen composed for the original Hot Air.[5]
  • Unusually, the menu music for the Miniclip version of Hot Air 2 ends abruptly and does not loop.
  • Nitrome hints a sequel for Hot Air 2 via the name of the level The End: Or is it?, as Or is it? is blurred. However, this could simply be an error.
