- Going through one of my favorite flash games of all time as quickly and in as few deaths (?) as possible. I really enjoy how every level has its own obstacles and the whole game is cute and cartoony. It can be quite challenging when trying to go for all the stars, especially when navigating through tight spaces. The levels that have given me the most trouble in the past few days I've been practicing this are Level 11 (The ball and chain moves so quickly!), Level 12 (especially when trying to get that last star), and Level 25 (Those fans are so strong, it can be hard to counteract them).
Hot Air 2 is a Flash Game made by Nitrome. Check out nitrome.come for more Nitrome games before Flash gets scrubbed from the World Wide Web in December.
LEVEL-BY-LEVEL GUIDE:
Level 1: Not too hard. If you want to get all the stars in one go, then you gotta go for the bottom left star and get out of the way quickly, or Big Mouth will get ya'.
Level 2: Probably easier than Level 1. You have plenty of time to escape the bear traps after you land on the platforms.
Level 3: Be quick and careful when going for the stars near the chains of the axes. Otherwise, fairly simple, but losing a life here can cost some time.
Level 4: The first level where you can interact with stage elements. To raise the fence, blow on the pinwheels so that they turn clockwise. If you blow counterclockwise, then the fence will drop. Since both pinwheels are offscreen when you're in the middle, you must gather the three stars in the middle in one swift maneuver.
Level 5: Get the bottom star as quickly as possible or the green goo will get ya'! Proceed upward quickly so that you have plenty of time to get the top two stars, which can be tricky to get since they are in a tight corridor.
Level 6: Pretty simple, just know when the blocks will fall and when they rise again, and maneuver through accordingly.
Level 7: Not as hard as it is potentially annoying. I like to get all the stars, then head over to the middle of the stage where I try to board the red platform.
Level 8: The big drill descends fairly slowly. I find that the middle part of this level is the tightest, so I take that part the most slowly. I do the beginning and the end quickly.
Level 9: You start in a very tight corridor, so be careful not to pop your balloon just one second into the level. For the left half, if you can get the star and escape before the ball & chain gets you, then go for it. In the second half, you can either be close to the center and move slowly or be far from the center and move quickly. Beware those pesky mines!
Level 10: Oh boy, the first boss! Potentially the hardest boss since it does involve a bit of RNG. The hitbox of Octoboss is bigger than you may expect, so if it looks like you could get squished when going above or below him, then don't go for it; instead, lure him toward you and then get out of the way! Personally, I try to get all the stars before I defeat Octoboss, but you can get them after.
Level 11: It gets harder now. This big ball and chain moves quite fast, so outrunning him can be a pain. I'd get the bottom left star first, then race to the other side and get the bottom right star, and then get the rest.
Level 12: Another tricky level. Most of it isn't too bad, but getting the bottom right stars is very annoying since you don't have a platform to rest on once you're trapped in by the flames. Also, if you blow on a flame that's about to reignite, it will go through the blowing out animation from the beginning, its hitbox will expand, and it will get ya'!
Level 13: Another level that's more long than it is hard. When you're going through it the first time, be patient and learn where the stars are. There is a tight corridor at the end.
Level 14: Probably my favorite level, I love the silly faces on the volcanoes. Memorize the times and places where the fireballs get launched. Be especially cautious of the fireballs that go diagonally.
Level 15: Somewhat similar to Level 13. There is a star at the beginning that you may not expect to be there.
Level 16: The dragon hitboxes are bigger than you may expect, so tread carefully.
Level 17: Not really a hard level, though I think it could be optimized for speed. It's another pattern-based level.
Level 18: Pretty easy. The bullet moves slowly, so you can easily outrun him. It will explode upon contact with a wall and a new one will be launched, so use the top two platforms to your advantage.
Level 19: These balls of gas can be a real pain. You can put them out, but they reignite quickly. Be careful not to accidentally drop one on yourself! Once your ready to finish the level, lure them away from the red platform. You can also drop some of them downstage so you won't have to deal with as many in the center.
Level 20: The main boss, and ironically the easiest level in the entire game. Simply hold your fan close below Baron Von Blimp, wiggle your fan a little as necessary, and the drills are almost guaranteed to go right back at BvB and not hit you. Once you hit him three times, get out of the way or you'll go squish! And remember to get the stars!
Level 21: Initially tricky, but not too bad since the mines cannot shoot diagonally. Once you know approximately how long a cycle takes, then you can breeze through this level pretty quickly. The most concerning part of the level is a key platform that's in the line of fire of one of the mines.
Level 22: The mini octopus are pretty sensitive to your fan and can also bounce off walls. Get them out of your way before you have to get close to them.
Level 23: My least favorite level, since the worms can detect you and hit you offscreen, before you get a chance to react.
Level 24: The turnip thingy chases you, similar to Octoboss, but quicker, and not a boss. You need to be able to navigate all the tight ups, downs, lefts, and rights to dodge him.
Level 25: My personal hardest level. The fans blow a strong wind, so it can be hard to counteract it with your fan. You should blow close to the balloon if you want to go fast, or try to break even with the force of the fan. For the last star I just wing it. Again, keep your fan close to the balloon so it can go through the winds of the other fans.
Level 26: Another tough level. Like Level 24, there is not much going for you if you cannot move through extremely tight spaces quickly, at least in the right half.
Level 27: Stay in the center of the moving cage and follow the rail. Getting the stars is not too difficult. This level is very long (I finished it with 661 time left), so a mistake is extremely costly.
Level 28: Get as much progress as you can while the monster thing is opening his mouth, and then head immediately to a safe spot! Don't 'bite off more than you can chew'!
Level 29: My master speed strat for this level is get the first star immediately, head to the top but stay slightly to the left of the middle, and then make your biggest sprint to the finish! Make sure you don't leave a star behind.
Level 30: Hooray, the final boss! Big Daddy will try to squish you when you go under him. When he rises back up, he'll be lower than where he used to be. This leaves his weak spot open. You can land a hit either by making him fall once and then going for the weak spot with a tight space between him and the ceiling, or by making him fall twice and then going for the weak spot with more leeway. Every time you hit him, Big Daddy moves faster, so actually landing on the weak spot (and not the concrete) becomes more challenging. The wings also have a hitbox, so try not to let the wings poke you. Unlike Octoboss and Baron von Blimp, the level will end IMMEDIATELY upon the defeat of Big Daddy, so get all the stars before dealing the final blow.

One of the best Nitrome games ever made. Wish I could play it again but hopefully Nitrome makes it in HTML5
I remember being able to beat this one and hot air jr but not the original
So many memories! Hot air 2 and nitrome must die have always been my favorite nitrome games
i was a top 3 player of all time at this game. i pulled out half the hairs on my head getting the high scores
Kirby's Adventure?!?!
2005
This was easier than the first one but still hard to beat with all the stars thanks for the walkthrough tho
I'll have to play through the first one before Flash gets taken down this December.
@@jacobmoesner4185 Are you also gonna play the jr version
This game was too hard for its' own good.
I played this every day as a kid, and I could never beat the final boss! Wish I were able to try again now, I'd definitely try that exploit you used!
