## What is Pup Pop?

PUP POP is a one-minute game with one rule: tap any two pups next to each other and they warm each other up. No way to lose. No timer. No lives. No ads. No leaderboard.
WHY IT EXISTS The world feels loud and chaotic right now, and most games add to that. Pup Pop was made to do the opposite: a small, warm, easy ritual you can finish in a minute, designed to bring a moment of comfort and calm. The thing that makes it comforting is the animal on the tiles being yours. Your own pet, the one that already makes you feel better, is right there in your hands, and every tap warms it up. It is a gentle way to reset, to feel a little less alone, and to put the phone down feeling better than when you picked it up.
What makes it different is who is on the board.
YOUR OWN PET BECOMES THE GAME Pick a photo of your dog, cat, bird, or any animal. Pup Pop lifts the animal out of the background right on your iPhone, using Apple's own on-device Vision technology, and puts it on every tile. The photo is never uploaded anywhere. No account, no sign-in, nothing leaves your phone. One photo on every tile is free. If you want to mix several of your photos across the board, or start with one set and switch to another at 25 points, that is a single one-time purchase.
REAL DOGS, NOT CARTOONS Keep playing and four real dogs join the board, photographed, not drawn: AJ at 25 points, Alex at 50, Gracie Mae at 75, Piper Bo at 100. Once you have met them all, they mix together.
BUILT TO CALM YOU DOWN, NOT KEEP YOU HOOKED Most tap-and-merge games run on timers, lives, coins, and ads between rounds. Pup Pop has none of those. There is no currency to earn, nothing to decorate, no streak to protect. When the board fills, the game closes gently, tells you the light kept going without you, and asks if you would like to light it again. One minute, then put it down.
THE CIRCLE The title screen shows how many people are playing tonight. It is a real count from an anonymous counter with nothing personal attached. No names, no accounts, no leaderboard. Just the quiet fact that you are not the only one doing this small thing.
WHAT PUP POP IS NOT It is not a pet simulator, a jigsaw of your photo, or a merge game with a shop. It does not collect your data, show ads, or ask you to come back. It is a small, warm ritual with your own animal in it.
MADE BY ONE PERSON Pup Pop was written by an independent developer after a hard season, as a daily act of warmth. Every line of code, the four dogs, and the sound were made for this game.
Requires iOS 17 or later. The optional "Mix several photos" unlock is $1.29, one time, with Restore Purchases available on the same screen.
