## What is PopGrab?

Every game you play writes a song.

PopGrab is an offline, single-player music game with two ways to play — and one loop tying them together: whatever you do on the board turns into your own personal tune.

Playhead — arrange the loop as it plays. Hold three notes, each locked to its own pitch. Drop them into beat columns before the sweeping playhead reaches them. Land a chord, and it pays big; muddy the board and it pushes back with sour notes and a rising tempo. Survive eight clean laps to win.

Quick Pop — fast, tile-matching filler mode. The original PopGrab mode is still here for quick sessions — tap to match, keep the streak alive, and watch the live oscilloscope pulse with every pop.

Every run becomes a tune. No two sessions sound the same. Each Playhead run converts straight into an 8-note phrase; each Quick Pop run builds toward one through the Symphony Meter. Land a Bronze, Silver, or Gold rhythm rating for bonus Sparks.

Tune It Up — a real, free tune editor. Reshape what you played: three instruments (Bell, Marimba, Synth Pad), drag-to-pitch note editing, tempo, reverb, an auto-harmony voice, four scale packs, 8- or 16-note length, and four waveform skins. Save it, replay it, or share it as an audio clip — all free, no subscription required.

Climb ten tiers. Infinite leveling across ten named tiers, each unlocking a new power-up and a fresh board color.

Unlock more — no subscription needed. Watch a quick rewarded video to unlock:

AI Tuner — describe a mood or pick one (Dreamy, Playful, Epic, Melancholy, Energetic) and get an instant remix of your tune
Bigger cloud backup — a larger backup quota for your saved tunes
Sound Palette — a fresh instrument/sound set for 3 days

Play anywhere. No account, no matchmaking — the core game and Tune Editor work fully offline. (AI Tuner remixes require an internet connection.)
