## What is Popalike?

Popalike is a quiet puzzle game about noticing what things have in common.

Bubbles fill the board, each carrying a word or a number, and each belonging to a
group you were never told about. Drag one into another that shares its group. Get
four together and they pop. Clear the board and the level is done.

That is the whole rule. What changes is what you have to see.

WORD JAM — 50 levels
Sixteen words, four hidden categories, no labels anywhere. DOG, CAT, FISH, BIRD are
easy; later it is TOPAZ and OPAL against VIENNA and LIMA, and the trap is the word
that looks like it belongs to two groups at once. Working out the categories IS the
puzzle.

NUMBER JAM — 50 levels
Now the categories are named and the numbers keep quiet. Multiples of 6. Prime
squares. Palindromes. Digit sum 9. Thirty-six properties, every one checkable at a
glance — nothing here needs long division or a scratchpad.

Each level has a move budget, so a level can be lost — and retried on the spot.
There is no timer. Nothing counts down while you think.

• A physics board, not a grid: bubbles sink, shove each other aside, and settle
• Sound cut from real field recordings, and a Bach prelude if you want one
• Respects your mute switch, and never interrupts music you are already playing

No ads. No purchases. No coins, no energy, no daily streak. No account, and nothing
collected about you — the game has no networking code in it at all. It works in
flight mode.

Free, and finished.
