A cute but challenging puzzle game featuring lots of Apollo Kids characters! The look is bright and pop, but don’t be fooled — the later stages get seriously tough. Especially recommended for puzzle lovers! The rules are simple: match the characters on the drops. Create a good chain, and the drops will disappear one after another — it feels great! Simple to play, but surprisingly deep. When playing for the first time, we recommend reading the story, trying the tutorial, and then starting with stages 1–12 of Puzzle Mode. As you solve more puzzles, you’ll begin to understand what makes this game fun and unique. Once it clicks, you can enjoy all the different game modes to the fullest! There are 3 game modes. ● Puzzle Mode Take your time and solve 99 puzzles. The difficulty increases as you progress. ● Rescue Mode Speed is the key. Clear as many drops as you can and rescue the characters! ● Challenge Mode Rearrange the 36 drops on a 6×6 board and try to clear as many as possible in a single move. 【How to Play】 Choose one of the drops on the 6×6 board, then slide or rotate it with your finger. When 2 or more drops with the same character facing the same direction are lined up, they disappear, and the drops above fall down. If more drops line up, the chain continues. A detailed tutorial is also included in the game. 【Features】 - Simple rules and easy controls - Deep puzzle gameplay where you create your own chains - Puzzle Mode with 99 stages - Fast-paced Rescue Mode - Challenge Mode where every move matters - A picture-book-style prologue story ※ Puzzle Mode stages 37 and beyond, and the hardest Rescue Mode challenge, “All Characters 50 Rescue,” require purchasing the full version. 【About the Screen Display】 This game is a restored version of an app originally created for iPhone 3G in 2009. To preserve the original game screen ratio, the restored version places the game screen in the center, with Apollo Kids illustrations displayed in the spaces above and below. ## Key features - Simple rules and easy controls - Deep puzzle gameplay with chain creation - 99 stages in Puzzle Mode - Fast-paced Rescue Mode - Strategic Challenge Mode - Picture-book prologue story ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Full Version | $1.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (2 of 2) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/apollokidsprisondrops/id334379348/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Cute Puzzle! *2011-04-25* Great cute puzzle game with a thorough tutorial. Not a match-3 but a true puzzle game. Love the pixel graphics, they look great on retina display. Needs OpenFeint and/or GameCenter integration. Please update icon to hi-res. ### 4/5 — An amusing new puzzle game *2009-10-16* I took an interest to this game because of it's unique sprite based appearance-think Nintendo's Mother/Earthbound series, however the game itself is solid and although it takes a bit of time to get use to the puzzle gimmick, it's a refreshing change from the usual match-3 idea. Well made and with loads of characters and creativity. I would be quite interested to see more from this Japanese developer, especially an action platformer or an RPG. ## Frequently asked questions about APOLLOKIDS ### What is APOLLOKIDS:PRISONDROPS?
