Plobb! is back. Twenty years ago, a small white blob with a slingshot mouth popped his way onto Mac desktops. Now Plobb returns, lovingly rebuilt from the original 2005 sources - every wobble, every jingle, every bubble exactly where it belongs, running silky-smooth on modern machines. THE STORY The Evil Motts of Psodor has locked poor Plobb in the Castle of Nightmares. Fight your way through six candy-coated worlds of drifting, splitting bubbles and face Motts himself in his smoke-belching flying machine. THE GAME - Classic arcade action: bubbles split when you pop them - clear them all before the clock runs out, or face the toxic round - Seven weapons to collect, from the humble pea-shooter to the four-way spread and the crackling spark - Ghost twin, shields, egg mines, shockwaves - and the mighty berserk transformation - Bonus rounds, freeze frenzies, and a boss fight that literally cracks the screen - Hall of fame with Game Center leaderboards - The complete original storybook intro, voice-over and all MADE WITH LOVE No ads. No purchases. No data collected. Just the game, the whole game, and nothing but the game - the way 2005 intended, polished the way 2026 deserves. One purchase, every platform: play on Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
