Pour soft jellies into a jar. Two identical ones merge into a bigger one. Keep going as long as you can — the jar fills faster than you think. Colour tells you the family, size tells you the level. Nothing to memorise: if two jellies look the same, they merge. Gloop is built around one thing: how the jellies feel. They squash against each other, roll, settle and wobble, all simulated. Tilt your phone and the whole pile leans. • A colour bomb falls through the pile and blows up a whole cluster of its own colour — steer it on the way down • New colours appear as you score, and that is what makes it hard • The landscape shifts with your score: dawn, storm, desert, deep sea, nebula • Sound is entirely synthesised — even the wind chimes on the title screen • No ads, no accounts, no timers, nothing to buy Play for thirty seconds or thirty minutes. It waits.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Popping Balls! at none against Gloop Jelly's 1. Popping Balls! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
