## What is Pop Link?

Trace across balls of the same color or the same number to link and pop them!
The longer you link while switching between color and number, the bigger your score.
No in-app purchases, no sign-in.

[Easy to play]
Trace 3 or more neighboring balls to clear them. Diagonals are OK.
You can link balls of the same color or the same number. Move your finger back to undo the last step.

[The big moment: Mix Burst]
Link 5 or more balls while switching between color and number 2+ times.
The balls above, below and beside your trace clear too, for a huge score.
There's also Color Burst, Number Burst and Double Burst when everything matches.

[Go wild with Fever]
Tracing fills the gauge. When it's full, you get 12 seconds of Fever.
The board turns just 2 colors — your chance for long links.

[Three modes]
- VS CPU: Clear alongside the CPU. First to 15,000 points, or the higher score after 120 seconds, wins. Bursts send rocks to the CPU's board. Lv.1–10, and on up to Lv.30.
- Free Play: Go for your best in Endless, Time Attack (60 seconds) or Move Challenge (20 moves).
- Missions: Clear goals like "Clear 15 red balls" within a move limit. 17 missions, and fewer moves earn more stars.

[Cute CPU rivals]
From sleepy Koron to the mighty King Pon, 10 characters to take on.

[More to enjoy the more you play]
- Spend coins on theme colors, ball designs, fonts and Fever clear sounds
- Daily login bonus
- Records and achievements show how far you've come
- While you trace, the balls you can link next light up

[Play with peace of mind]
- No in-app purchases (coins are earned by playing)
- No account needed; records are saved on your device
- Back up your records to iCloud to keep playing on a new phone (optional)
- Available in Japanese and English

Perfect for a quick break or a long run at a high score.
Link the same color or number, and pop!
