## What is Don't Pop?

Hold the balloon. Let go as close to 100% as you dare.

That's it. That's the whole game.

The number disappears at 40%, so the last stretch is pure nerve.
Go over and it bursts. Stop short and you'll wonder how much you
left on the table. There is no menu, no timer, no lives — one
finger down, one finger up, and the courage in between.

THREE WAYS TO LOSE YOUR NERVE

CLASSIC — How close to 100 can you get? Your best is the only
number that matters.

DAILY — Everybody in the world gets the same target today, and
three attempts to hit it. Come back tomorrow for a new one.

CLIMB — A ladder of narrowing bands. Stop inside 0-10, then
5-10, then 10-15. Miss by a hair and the run is over.

BUILT TO BE PLAYED IN TEN SECONDS

A round lasts about four. Losing costs you nothing but the urge
to go again. Game Center leaderboards if you want the world,
your own history if you'd rather just beat yourself.

Free. No accounts. No sign-up. Just a balloon and your nerve.

How close do you dare?

You asked how close you really were. Now the balloon tells you.

OVERSHOOT
Hold past 100% and the balloon no longer bursts on the spot. It
keeps stretching — and when it goes, you find out exactly how far
you went. 102.41%? 117%? No more wondering whether you missed it
by a hair or by a mile.

TRUE PRECISION
Every score is now measured at the exact instant you let go,
not at the nearest frame. Those two decimals finally mean
something, and 99.98 is a real release you can chase.

FEWER INTERRUPTIONS
More time between ads, and no more coming back from a quick
message to find one waiting for you.

SHARING
A shared score now travels with a link, so whoever you sent it
to can actually try to beat it.
