A cozy, cute block puzzle game in an African swamp, with no timer and no ads. Drag a piece onto the board, fill a row or a column, and it clears. Three pieces at a time; when they are gone, three more come. Reach the level's goal before the moves run out, and feed the hippo a melon while you think. That is the whole rule. What grows is the board: melons to collect by clearing their line, logs that take two clears, bombs that count down one per move, mud that grows on its own, big pieces that need big room, boulders that never clear. Every few levels something new turns up, and the first fifty are the introduction. 999 LEVELS Every level is dealt at the desk and checked before it ships: beatable, with room to think, never a dead end you could not have seen. Every level has a par, the fewest moves it needs: clear it within two moves of par for three stars, a little further over for two, any clear for one. CLASSIC MODE No levels, no stars, no lives: pieces keep coming until nothing fits. As the score climbs the swamp changes and something new turns up, from melons to bombs to boulders. Chase your best. THE HIPPO He sits under the board and wants watermelons. Throw him one, then tap him: he only eats while you tap. Once his power is bought, a finished melon lets him hit the board and clear the lowest row. THE SWAMP Between levels the hippos rest in the waterhole. Drag them about, throw them melons, tap the monkeys in the baobab. Now and then one sinks under and blows bubbles. Nobody minds. THE SWAMP SHOP Clearing a level for the first time pays coins. Spend them on hats and things for the swamp, extra melons, the hippo's power, or a life. LIVES You start with twenty. Every try costs one: one to start a level, one to try again. Win the level and you get it back, so you can keep playing as long as you keep winning. One also comes back every thirty minutes, up to twenty, even while the game is closed. One small purchase makes them unlimited. NO ADS The first fifty levels are free. The rest of the game is one purchase, once, for good. No ads, no subscriptions, no account. In English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Thai, French, Spanish and German. Hippo Pop is a relaxing hippo game and block puzzle for anyone who likes cute animals, brain teasers and playing offline. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlimited Lives | $0.99 | one-time | | All Levels | $0.99 | one-time | ## Is Hippo Pop safe?

A tap on the stars is all it takes, and every rating helps other players find their way to the swamp. It only asks after a win, and at most once a month. Thank you for playing. The hippo and the monkeys say hi. ### 1.10 — 2026-10-15 Levels 12 to 999 are new, and every level has a fresh par. Fairer pieces: the tray now deals the classic shapes. Diagonal and odd-shaped pieces only turn up as sparkling help pieces, when they are the piece that can finish a line. No more surprises: mud now bubbles up with a countdown before it sets, and covering a bubble pops it. Vines show where their next leaf grows, and crocodiles show where they swim next. ### 1.8 — 2026-10-11 Made for tablets: Hippo Pop is now a real iPad app. On iPad and Android tablets the board fills the screen, the squares are sized for your finger, buttons and words are bigger, and menus sit in the middle. On phones, nothing changes. Dragging is more accurate: a piece now lands exactly where you drop it, right up to the edge of the board. Nine hundred new levels! The adventure now runs to level 999, with something new on the first level of every hundred: lotus flowers that bloom when you wall them in, keys and locks, ripe melons that rot if you are slow, creeping vines, quicksand, a whirlpool that turns your pieces, patrolling crocodiles, odd new pieces, and golden melons. It gets a lot harder up there. Finished level 100? Level 101 is waiting. ### 1.7 — 2026-10-10 Dragging is more accurate: a piece now lands exactly where you drop it, right up to the edge of the board. Nine hundred new levels! The adventure now runs to level 999, with something new on the first level of every hundred: lotus flowers that bloom when you wall them in, keys and locks, ripe melons that rot if you are slow, creeping vines, quicksand, a whirlpool that turns your pieces, patrolling crocodiles, odd new pieces, and golden melons. It gets a lot harder up there. Finished level 100? Level 101 is waiting. ### 1.5 — 2026-10-09 A whole second swamp! Buy the east swamp and swipe across: a fallen log over a creek joins the two, the hippos wander over to visit, and the monkeys swing along a liana. Adopt new hippos too, up to ten, each with a name and a cap of its own. New things to buy: a melon house, a paddle steamer, an elephant, a flamingo flight, a frog on a log, a beach ball, a snorkel and a safari hat. And the Golden Mega Melon finally shows off: it rolls, flies by propeller, teleports and cracks open. Tap it. The rain cloud, the waterfall and the canoe do more too. Buying something is a little party, with confetti and a cheering friend; pop-ups are calmer; a hat keeps its hippo's name on it; and words fit their buttons in every language. ## Apps similar to Hippo Pop | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Yatzy Dice Game: Yatzy Plus](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yatzy-dice-game-yatzy-plus/id6657991384) | 4.7 (5,449) | Free | Games | | [Otter Ocean - Scavenger Hunt](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/otter-ocean-scavenger-hunt/id1547780996) | 4.9 (35,061) | Free | Games | | [My New Baby Girl Story Games](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-new-baby-girl-story-games/id966509113) | 4.5 (68,280) | Free | Games | | [Squishy Magic: ASMR Toy Maker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/squishy-magic-asmr-toy-maker/id1490398089) | 4.7 (331,554) | Free | Games | | [Princess and Cute Pets](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/princess-and-cute-pets/id1600211829) | 4.7 (22,865) | Free | Games | | [Paper Princess: Shining World](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/paper-princess-shining-world/id1658731096) | 4.6 (61,707) | Free | Games | ## More apps by TSUMIDA AI INC - [Simple Whiteboard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/simple-whiteboard/id1462376153) - [Koko Travel](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/koko-travel/id6792466497) - [The Ceiling - Trivia Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-ceiling-trivia-game/id6794754207) - [Gomi Sensei](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gomi-sensei/id6800253216) - [Peel: Spaces & Stickers](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/peel-spaces-and-stickers/id6810469791) - [Capybara Onsen: Cozy Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/capybara-onsen-cozy-puzzle/id6814175809) All apps by TSUMIDA AI INC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1462279897 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
