PLURI-POP is not a game. It’s not about scores. It’s a small physical experience you carry in your pocket. PLURI-POP is a calm, tactile way to release tension — one bubble at a time. Press, hold, and feel it pop. A soft ASMR sound. A precise haptic response. A small moment where everything slows down. No rush. No objectives. No pressure. Just you, your fingers, and the simple satisfaction of popping a bubble. Choose how much pressure it takes to pop a bubble. From extra light to firm, you decide the rhythm. There’s no right way to use PLURI-POP. Pop fast. Pop slow. Or just one bubble, then stop. PLURI-POP is perfect when: • your mind feels busy • you need a quick break • you want to stop scrolling • you just want to feel something simple No internet required. No data collected. Just a quiet moment, whenever you need it. Stress? PLURI-POP

Defend Earth from endless alien waves in this fast-paced retro arcade shooter. Collect powerups, survive boss battles, and climb the global leaderboards. Touch and drag to move your ship while it fires automatically, dodge incoming plasma, and clear wave after wave of invading aliens before they reach the bottom. What starts as a classic arcade battle quickly escalates into a tougher survival challenge, with faster enemies, more pressure, and bigger rewards the longer you last. Alien Barrage mixes traditional formation-based waves with special events that keep every run fresh. Every 4th level is a Bonus Round, where aliens break formation and streak across the screen in unpredictable patterns for extra points. Every 7th level is a Boss Level, featuring a massive enemy that absorbs heavy damage, fires missiles, and gets tougher each time it returns. Powerups can turn the tide in an instant. Collect Rapid Fire to double your fire rate, Spread Shot to blast multiple enemies at once, Shield to absorb a hit, and Extra Life to stay in the fight longer. When things get desperate, unleash a bomb to clear the screen and save your run. Choose how you want to play with Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty modes, each offering a different challenge level and score potential. Fly the default Classic Ship or unlock the Dual Cannon ship for permanent double firepower. Compete on Game Center leaderboards for top score and highest wave survived, challenge your friends, and unlock achievements as you play. Whether you want a quick arcade session or a long high-score grind, Alien Barrage delivers classic shooter action with modern progression and competitive replay value. Features: - Touch-and-drag controls with automatic firing - Endless escalating waves of alien enemies - Bonus Rounds every 4th level - Boss battles every 7th level - UFO encounters, swooping aliens, and missile attacks - Four powerups: Rapid Fire, Spread Shot, Shield, and Extra Life - Screen-clearing bombs for clutch moments - Classic Ship plus unlockable Dual Cannon ship - Game Center leaderboards and achievements - Three difficulty modes for casual play or hardcore score chasing
