PopGroup is a polished version of the classic "samegame" concept invented in 1985 by Kuniaki Moribe. Just pop groups of bubbles that have the same color. Sound easy? It is, unless you want a high score! You have to pop groups in the right order to form bigger groups and get more points. Compare PopGroup to other games based on the same concept: - Crystal-clear graphics - Animations - Customizable width, height, and number of bubble colors - Online high scores - No in-app ads or in-app purchases! PopGroup is made by the developer of tChess (the popular iOS chess app), and Learn Chess (the Apple Staff Favorite e-book).

Leisure game to remove lines of balls which can rebound at the boundary. Balls with different colors will be dropped onto the board. Tap to choose one ball, and then tap on a target cell to move to when there is a free path. If 5 or more balls in same color are in a horizontal, vertical or tilting line, the balls will be removed and the score will be increased. Removing a 5 balls line will gain 8 points. Removing a 6 balls line will gain 11 points. Removing a 7 balls line will gain 14 points. Removing a 8 balls line will gain 17 points. Removing a 9 balls line will gain 20 points.
