Power PopIt is a pop-it fidget game for children: build a shape first, then pop every single bubble – and finish in a shower of confetti. THE PUZZLE COMES FIRST Every round starts with two to four puzzle pieces floating above a silhouette. Drag a piece to the right spot and it snaps into place with a soft click. Only once the shape is complete does it turn into a pop-it. THEN THE POPPING Use several fingers at once, or sweep across the board in one swipe. Every bubble gives way, the board tilts gently towards your finger, and a small burst of sparks flies out. When the last bubble is gone, the shape hops away. LOTS OF SHAPES Heart, star, flower, butterfly, cloud, fish, duck, moon, sun, car, house, rocket, ice cream, mushroom, crown, balloon, ladybird, the digits 1 to 9 and more. Every shape is generated fresh at the start – the same shape is never cut into pieces exactly the same way twice. BUILT BY FANS Little by little, shapes that fans designed themselves are added. They are built on a computer or iPad over on our website – and every single one is checked by hand before it shows up in the game. The app itself still has no text field, no chat, and nothing unchecked. DISCOVER On the map, levels sit above one another as pop-it domes. Completed levels are pressed in, the next one bulges out and pulses. Every five levels a new island begins with its own colour world, and the shapes get a little trickier step by step. SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY A shape of the day and a weekly explorer run for everyone – small challenges against the clock, fresh every day and every week. IT REALLY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING Every pop is its own haptic tap, not a rumble. The display runs at up to 120 frames per second. Sounds and the quiet background music can be switched off independently. POINTS AND BADGES Points, best scores and badges stay on the device. Nicknames are not typed but rolled like dice – there is not a single text field in the whole app. POPLIGA – OPTIONAL AND ANONYMOUS If you want, you can switch on a weekly leaderboard. It is OFF by default and can only be enabled behind a parent gate: press for two seconds, then solve a small maths problem. The list shows nothing but a randomly generated nickname and a score. While the switch is off, not a single byte leaves the device. BUY ONCE, DONE Power PopIt is a one-time purchase – everything is included. No follow-up costs, nothing to unlock. WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND HERE • No advertising – none from third parties either • No dark patterns – no purchase pressure, no countdown tricks, no artificial scarcity • No in-app purchases and no subscription • No account, no sign-in, no email address • No ad profiles, no tracking across apps • No chat, no comments, no unmoderated content – every fan shape is approved by hand • Outbound links only behind the parent gate Power PopIt runs on iPhone and iPad from iOS 18 and works completely offline. In short: parents can hand over Power PopIt with complete peace of mind. This app is built to let kids play – not to sell, track, or hook them.
