## What is Droppy?

*Droppy*
A highly addictive, fast-paced arcade puzzle game!

*How to Play*
Drop balls into columns and keep the grid from overflowing. Choose wisely — your next ball appears at the top of the screen, and where you place it could trigger explosive chain reactions... or total gridlock.

*Explosive Gameplay*
Balls explode when their number matches the total count of balls in their row or column.
Example: In a column with 4-2-3-4, both “4” balls will explode because there are four balls in the column.

*Ball Types*
  - Unlocked – Ready to explode.
  - Locked (dotted circle) – Can’t explode yet.
  - Double Locked (solid circle) – Even tougher.
Locked balls can be unlocked if they’re adjacent to an exploding ball.

*Chaining Reactions*
Each explosion rearranges the grid. Chain multiple explosions together for massive points and satisfying combos!

*Level Up*
Drop enough balls to level up — but beware! Every new level adds a row of double-locked balls from the bottom, pushing your grid closer to the top.

*Game Modes*
  - Easy
  - Normal
  - Difficult
Higher difficulty means fewer drops before a level-up — and a much greater challenge to keep the grid clear.

*Scoring*
Earn points for every ball exploded. Chain reactions multiply your score exponentially. Clear the grid or level up for big bonus points!

*Ads & Upgrades*
Droppy includes ads, but you can upgrade to the ad-free experience with a one-time in-app purchase.

*Compete on Game Center*
Sign in to Game Center and climb the global Droppy Leaderboards. How long can you survive?

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2020-02-29, version 1.3.1*

I really enjoy this.

### 5/5 — Perfect Drop 7 replacement

*2019-01-16, version 1.3.1*

Like that title says perfect drop 7 replacement. Only thing that would make it better would be a dark mode

### 4/5 — Needs one major fix

*2019-01-12, version 1.2*

I spent so many happy hours playing Drop 7 and was so disappointed when Zynga let it die. So cheers to this excellent replacement. I’m really grateful. But please please please fix it so that it saves your game when you exit the app. It’s frustrating to be playing and racking up points, then get interrupted and lose everything. Otherwise, this is a keeper.

### 4/5 — Great game, Almost there

*2019-01-08, version 1.2*

If you add these features.. 1-Give the average score of your games and 2- Save your game progress when exiting and re-entering the app, this game would be the best, ..way better than drop7. I love how much faster the game plays without all the unnecessary animations/sounds. Please add in next update!

### 5/5 — Drop7

*2019-01-02, version 1.2*

Drop7

### 4/5 — Just like the game I loved — but no sound effects?

*2019-01-01, version 1.2*

I was devastated when Drop 7 was dropped by Zynga. Droppy is a great alternative bc it’s very similar. But where are the sound effects?!

### 5/5 — Great drop 7 clone!

*2018-12-09, version 1.0*

Thank you for bringing it back! My only comment would be to create a darker background instead of white for glare. Other than that really nice action and timing, thanks for the share!

## Frequently asked questions about Droppy

### What is Droppy?

Droppy is a fast-paced arcade puzzle game. Players strategically drop balls into columns, aiming to prevent the grid from overflowing. The core mechanic involves triggering explosive chain reactions by matching ball numbers to the total count of balls in their respective rows or columns.

### How do balls explode in Droppy?

Balls explode when their number matches the total count of balls in their row or column. For example, if a column has four balls, any '4' balls within that column will explode. Locked balls can be unlocked if they are adjacent to an exploding ball.

### What are the game modes available?

Droppy offers multiple game modes to cater to different skill levels: Easy, Normal, and Difficult. Higher difficulty levels present a greater challenge by requiring fewer drops before a level-up and increasing the grid's complexity.

### How can I remove ads from Droppy?
