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.

Build a tower of blocks. When six of the same kind touch, they turn to gold. Only gold counts as height. Tap to drop the sliding block. It lands right where its shadow is. Put blocks next to others of the same material, and at six they melt into gold that runs down into the lowest gaps. The blocks stay in the tower as gold, so it keeps growing. A block with nothing under it falls off, and above 10 m that costs a heart. Making gold wins one back. Lose all three and the tower topples. You can save it with Nuggets, or let the top half fall and climb back up. It's the same tower every time you play. Also in the game: • Six golds start a Gold Rush. For five seconds every block you drop turns to gold, and tapping fast sets off a Frenzy. • Balloons carry Nuggets, hearts, bombs and presents. Drop a block through one to pop it. • More than a hundred block friends join as your tower climbs, and your blocks wear them. • Climb past real heights, from a house to Mount Everest and up to where jets fly. Each pays Nuggets the first time. • New pieces turn up as you climb, like a ball that rolls into gaps and a rainbow block that matches anything. • Your tower counts for your country and your state. The leaderboard stacks up every player's tower as it stands right now, so climb together, see whose skyline stands tallest, and see where your own tower ranks among everyone's. You earn Nuggets by making gold, and the shop sells more. It also sells Patron, which lets a toppled tower keep two thirds instead of half and doubles your daily gifts. Buying anything is optional, and nothing for sale is random. The game has no ads and no account. It sends anonymous stats about how you play, which you can turn off in Settings. The leaderboard gets only your tower's height and a random ID, and you can leave it in Settings. To see which of our own ads on Facebook and Instagram bring players in, it reports installs, two early milestones and purchases to Meta, and it asks before using your device's advertising identifier.
