*Droppy* A highly addictive, fast-paced arcade puzzle game! *How to Play* Drop balls into columns and keep the grid from overflowing. Choose wisely — your next ball appears at the top of the screen, and where you place it could trigger explosive chain reactions... or total gridlock. *Explosive Gameplay* Balls explode when their number matches the total count of balls in their row or column. Example: In a column with 4-2-3-4, both “4” balls will explode because there are four balls in the column. *Ball Types* - Unlocked – Ready to explode. - Locked (dotted circle) – Can’t explode yet. - Double Locked (solid circle) – Even tougher. Locked balls can be unlocked if they’re adjacent to an exploding ball. *Chaining Reactions* Each explosion rearranges the grid. Chain multiple explosions together for massive points and satisfying combos! *Level Up* Drop enough balls to level up — but beware! Every new level adds a row of double-locked balls from the bottom, pushing your grid closer to the top. *Game Modes* - Easy - Normal - Difficult Higher difficulty means fewer drops before a level-up — and a much greater challenge to keep the grid clear. *Scoring* Earn points for every ball exploded. Chain reactions multiply your score exponentially. Clear the grid or level up for big bonus points! *Ads & Upgrades* Droppy includes ads, but you can upgrade to the ad-free experience with a one-time in-app purchase. *Compete on Game Center* Sign in to Game Center and climb the global Droppy Leaderboards. How long can you survive?
