## What is Tap 'n' Pop Arcade?

Introducing Tap 'n' Pop Arcade, Group Remove edition. After a great success of our Tap 'n' Pop Classic - we bring you the arcade edition for even more popping fun!.
Remove the balls of same color by tapping on them. The board will fill up with new balls if you remove all balls below the red "refill" line.
The challenge is to remove as many balls as possible with one move. This gives you more points and more level progress.

Two game modes are available - with and without a time limit. 
   - In the no time limit version - you simply have to make sure you don't run out of moves
   - In the time limited version you also have to watch the level progress which goes down with time.

### 1/5 — would rate at 0 stars if I could

*2015-12-25*

won't even run on latest iOS

developer: do us all a favor and just remove it from App Store.

while you are at it, take a crash course on game Dev- step one: make sure game launches...

### 1/5 — App always needs Internet

*2012-07-14, version 2.1*

For me this  app cannot be played without Internet  connection 
That's a waste

### 5/5 — Fun

*2012-06-13*

Love the game, not the adds.  Wished it went last level 14.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2012-05-14*

Required sign in to Game Center to enable.  Roll of eyes but whatever, I gave it a try.  Signed in. Then froze and would not respond. Deleted immediately.  Will stick with tap n pop lite.

### 1/5 — Rotten!!!

*2011-12-09*

Rotten

### 1/5 — Don't get this app

*2011-11-07, version 2.1*

This app did not even turn on for me. Big waste of time don't get it!!!

### 1/5 — Need Game Centre

*2011-02-06, version 2.1*

Must have Game Centre and be logged in to play. Would be nice to get the same functions on the lite version.

### 1/5 — Does not load.

*2010-12-16*

Only loads the app, and shows "Game account required". Then it crashes. Do NOT download

### 1/5 — Darn.

*2010-12-04*

When downloaded this app I was very x-ited. 
But then half of the title screen barely popped up, then crashing.
So do not get this app( even though it's free) cuz as soon as I got it I erased it.

### 1/5 — Major step backwards

*2010-11-12*

Was a great game.  The packages are gone now, and so is the challenging strategy.  Performance is awful, both in response time and crashes.
