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).
Hexa Puzzle Color Sorting
Read full descriptionHide full description
Test your logical thinking skills. Arrange colored hexa hexagons so that the same color would be next to each other, and then they will be destroyed. In fact, this is a puzzle game, where you need to connect colored blocks. The complexity of the game will gradually increase with each level. The logical task will be complicated by some elements that you will see in the course of the game. The task of solving the puzzle may be more difficult and interesting than it seems at first glance. How to play: 1) Carefully watch the tutorial at the beginning of the game. 2) Drag a new stack of hexagons onto the playing field next to the same color. Hexes will flow from one stack to another if they match in color. 3) Use the help of boosters in a difficult situation (hammer - breaks the stack, hand - moves the stack from a cell to another cell, fruit - change the colors of the tiles). 4) Overtake all players by points in the standings!
