No.9 is an attempt to transport you to a tranquil puzzly vacuum, a gallery of geometric forms and figures that evolve in harmony with a serene, slow-paced rhythm, inviting deep relaxation and contemplation. Your journey involves synchronizing diverse elements in both form and time. Consistent with all my projects, this one also features no scores, no advertisements, no in-app purchases, and does not collect any data - just relax.

Pop your way to a perfectly empty board. SamePop! takes the classic same-color puzzle and gives it a glossy glass makeover: tap any group of two or more matching blocks to pop them, watch the rest tumble down and slide together, then line up your next big move. THINK BIGGER, SCORE BIGGER Small pops are fine. Huge pops are the whole game. Scoring rewards patience — one giant single-color group is worth way more than a dozen little ones. Herd your colors, build a monster group, then pop it for a number that makes the leaderboard sweat. CHASE THE ALL-CLEAR Empty the entire board and grab a +1000 bonus. It's tougher than it looks — and dangerously satisfying once you pull it off. ONE GAME, EVERY SCREEN Play the full-screen board on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. Same game, same glossy pop, from your pocket to your living room. WHAT'S INSIDE • Simple to learn, genuinely deep to master • Game Center leaderboard and achievements • Colorblind-friendly palette option • No ads, no timers, no nonsense — pay once, play forever Ready? The board's full. Get popping.
