POPGOES is an official Five Nights at Freddy's spinoff series, produced by Scott Cawthon and developed by fans as part of the "Fazbear Fanverse Initiative". myPOPGOES is a short and simple resource management game, with a bonus minigame collection, where you take care of an extremely needy weasel named Popgoes. Housed in an adorable plastic LCD toy, your new pixelated best friend will need pizza, fizzy drinks, and only the best entertainment provided by Freddy Fazbear himself. And if Popgoes doesn't receive what he desperately needs, he passes out. Or maybe he straight-up dies. Up to your imagination. Featuring... • Simple but quite addictive "survival" gameplay, with super minimalistic controls! • Lots of familiar faces from the POPGOES and Five Nights at Freddy's game series! • A nostalgic theme, with practically all gameplay happening in a 2000s plastic LCD toy! • Playable challenges in the base game style, like the Sticky, Expire, and Blind modes! • Entirely new minigames, like Longest Popgoes, Fishing, and Topping Juggle! • Unlockable playable characters, stickers, character sheets, diary entries, and more! And don't be misled by this game's surreal premise and its modest gameplay - it is a canon entry in the POPGOES timeline, with real lore implications, unlockable character information, and plenty of interesting story tidbits! If you're a fan of the POPGOES series, give it a go! Developed by Kane Carter. #MadeWithFusion
