Havok Balloons Tech Showcase

One of the few games I got all the achievements.

Havok Balloons Tech Showcase: Fun Physics Toy, But a Total Flop as a GPU Benchmark! 6/10 Look, Steam peeps – I dove into Havok Balloons Tech Showcase thinking it'd be the perfect free tool to stress-test my new GPU. You know, spawn a bazillion balloons, crank up the chaos, and watch those frame rates tank for some real-world benchmarking vibes. Spoiler: It's NOT built for that at all, and I ended up more frustrated than enlightened. But hey, if you're just here for mindless balloon-popping fun, it might scratch that itch! But as a benchmark? Nah, forget it. No built-in tools to measure FPS consistently, no standardized tests, and performance swings wildly based on what you're doing. On my RTX 4080 rig, it chugged to 60-120 FPS with max balloons flying everywhere (heavy on CPU too, not just GPU). Spawn fewer? Butter-smooth 120+ FPS. It's great for showing off physics sims, but useless for proper GPU benchmarking – no loops, no metrics, just random mayhem. If you're a dev or tech nerd, cool for a quick peek at Havok's tech. For everyone else? Mild entertainment, but don't expect it to replace actual benchmarks like 3DMark or Cinebench

Play with balloons and get all the achievements in under 20 minutes, for freeee

Tried for 10 mins on High quality, seemed interesting physics based balloons shooting explosive bouncing. Teleport around in map via the Esc menu. My 2060 was like 35-43 fps average range during it. Probably made for a more modern and higher end gfx card.

Bit of fun and its free, just have a play.

Like 10 minutes of fun. I smiled so hard playing this. Thank you for making it.
