Balloons by Spribe: is it really "Aviator 2"?
Balloons is a 2024 crash game by Spribe — the same studio behind Aviator. You inflate a balloon instead of flying a plane, and the single-player crash loop is the core. Many players informally call it "Aviator 2", though it is officially a separate game. This review covers how Balloons works, how it relates to Aviator, and whether the "Aviator 2" label fits.
What Balloons is
Balloons is a single-player crash game by Spribe, released in 2024. The loop: place a bet, inflate a balloon, and cash out before the balloon pops. The bigger the balloon, the bigger the multiplier — but the higher the chance it pops. RTP is 97%, matching Aviator.
The key difference from Aviator is single-player: there is no shared round, no live bets list, no chat. It is you and the balloon. That makes it faster to play and more private, but loses the social atmosphere that defines Aviator.
Is Balloons really "Aviator 2"?
Spribe has not released a sequel to Aviator, so officially no. Balloons is a separate game, not "Aviator 2". The label sticks because:
- It is from the same studio (Spribe).
- It uses the same crash maths (97% RTP,
0.97 ÷ x-style curve). - It launched in 2024 as Spribe's newest crash-style title.
So "Aviator 2" is a player nickname, not an official name. If you see a standalone app or APK calling itself "Aviator 2", treat it as unofficial — Spribe has not published one, and such apps are often scams (see our download page).

Verdict
Balloons is the closest thing to an official "Aviator 2" — same studio, same maths, single-player format. If you enjoy Aviator but find the live chat and shared rounds distracting, Balloons is Spribe's quieter alternative. Just remember: the "Aviator 2" name is a nickname, and any standalone "Aviator 2" APK is unofficial.
