Guide colorful crowds into active swimming pools to ride matching floating rings. In Pool Party: Mirror Match, your objective is to select stickman groups from the lower waiting grid, sending them into the water to grab matching floaties dropping down from upper chutes. Precision and dock sequence management determine your success. Sending a crowd into the water without corresponding floaties clutters the pool area, blocking incoming swimmers and stalling the line. Navigate multi-colored ring stacks, mystery character blocks, and high-capacity wave multipliers that demand smart visual planning. Match every swimmer to a float to clear the pool completely.

About

Pixel Passengers

Features
Read full description

Dismantle giant pixel art illustrations by dispatching matching color vans from garage queues. In Pixel Passengers, your objective is to select vehicle stacks in precise sequence, sending them onto the main road to absorb block particles directly off the board. Managing road slots and vehicle capacities dictates your success. Releasing a van without matching color pixels on the illustration fills your active parking spots, locking upcoming dispatches. Navigate mystery vehicles, multi-layered artwork patterns, and high-capacity passenger counts that demand sharp visual planning. Board every pixel to clear the board completely.
