"POPLINKS" is a puzzle game that link numbers. You can play carefully at your own pace without worrying about time. Since the number block rises on the board, let's touch the block. If you tap with more blocks linked than the number written on the block, it will be erased. When tap a block in other situations, the number written on the block decreases. The longer the link, the higher the score. Be careful not to let the rising blocks exceed the top edge of the board. Enjoy "POPLINKS"! *STAFF Game Planning & Programming: TOKUDA TAKASHI Game Graphic Design: TOKUDA AOI
