About

Psycholops

Features
Read full description

Psycholops is a neon dice-drop puzzle with a twist you've never rolled before. Dice fall in pairs. Line up matching pips and a group clears once you connect as many as the number itself — two 2s, three 3s, all the way to six 6s. THE TWISTS • FLIP — double-tap to flip a pair to its underside (1↔6, 2↔5, 3↔4). The whole pair tumbles in 3D. Master the flip and any die becomes the one you need. • OVER-CHARGE BOMBS — connect MORE than the required number and the group overloads into a bomb, blasting the surrounding blocks too. Five 4s don't just vanish — they take the neighbours with them. • ALL-CLEAR BONUS — wipe every die off the board for a massive bonus and a dazzling celebration. Chain clears for rising multipliers, ride the danger music as the stack climbs, and post your best score to share with friends. • Gorgeous Metal rendering: HDR bloom, neon board, glittering ivory dice • Original chiptune disco soundtrack • English / 日本語 • Free, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases Easy to learn, deep to master. How high can you chain?
