« Boring » — My daughter « Yes, it’s pretty. Can you walk the dog? » — My wife « Hmm… I’m not sure I’ll understand it » — My mother So I walked Floc. And in the park, I found people willing to try my prototype. They played, replayed… and convinced me to keep building this game. Here is Molekula: a minimalist, relaxing, hypnotic puzzle. A game that doesn’t rush you, doesn’t stress you, doesn’t demand anything. Just you, a few molecules, and a quiet moment to breathe.
Popsui
A unique stacking game where players release balloons upward, aiming to reach a goal line. The challenge lies in avoiding balloons of the same color touching, which causes them to pop and hinder progress. It offers simple mechanics with increasing difficulty.
- Balloon stacking gameplay
- Avoid same-color collisions
- Reach the goal line
- Simple to learn, hard to master
- Game Center leaderboards
- No ads

Popsui flips the stacking game on its head. Instead of matching colors, you're avoiding them. Release balloons upward, build your stack, and reach the goal line — but the moment two balloons of the same color touch, they pop and take your progress with them. Every balloon you place is a calculated risk. Simple to learn. Surprisingly hard to master. Free to play, and even NO ADS! Compete for the lowest score with your friends on Game Center! This game takes heavy inspiration from Suika Game and almost plays like reverse Suika Game.
