But the balloon loses its air and the aeronaut has to land on levitating planets. There are creatures on these planets who are specialized in some way (English language, Mathematics, Chemistry etc.). The player has to solve a simple problem and then answer questions from the subject in which is the creature living on the planet specialized. Each of these questions have 3 possibilities. When the player chooses the right answer, the balloon gets some air but if he chooses wrong the balloon loses its air. When the player gets enough air, the balloon gets him on a higher planet.
