Hot Air!
Hot Air was released in 2005, and was Nitrome's first flash game. It followed no plot, and it's levels were presented in a simple grid. There were some unlockable levels as well, obtainable by collecting all of the stars in a certain amount of levels.

Hot Air! 2: All Blown Up
In this game, Hot Air travels off to rescue his girlfriend, who has been captured by the evil Baron von Blimp. In this game, the player could earn new skins for Hot Air!, and could also make them with the Hot Air 2! Balloon Maker until it's downfall.

Hot Air! Balloon Maker
This tool allowed the players to make and submit their own balloon designs. The designs could be used in Hot Air! 2. But, as of March 5th 2009, Nitrome discontinued Hot Air! Balloon Maker because the amount of balloons was too great to switch to the new server. 10 million balloons were made in its lifetime.
