Popping Therapy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Two ways to enjoy a little bubble-popping time. UNWIND Touch translucent bubbles as they drift, bounce and squish together. Each pop adds one point to your session count. There is no timer or level gate, and you can pause whenever you like. CHALLENGE Pop bubbles before they reach an edge in a 60-second round. Build streaks across six waves, make close saves, link pairs and discover ripple, slow-current and splitter bubbles. Edge misses reduce your score. Practice lessons let you learn without a timer. Keep personal bests, try the daily pattern and unlock cosmetic bubble finishes, a background and a pop-sound variation. Challenge progress stays on this device. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Choose pop sounds, optional meditative music, supported-device haptics and reduced motion. Challenge also offers a slower pace and a manual button for the bubble nearest an edge. Play offline after installation. No account, advertising or in-app purchases. There is no cloud save; deleting app data removes local progress. Popping Therapy is a relaxation game and does not diagnose or treat a medical condition. Music: “Meditation Impromptu 01” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0.
