Pick a shooter, match the color, and pop them all! Pop Loop! is a bright, easygoing color puzzle. A wooden pit is packed with colorful balloons, and it is your job to clear every one.

Each one comes in a color with its own capacity. > Shooters hit the balloons of the same color in the pit > Every hit makes those balloons grow and count down until they pop > Clear all the balloons in the pit to finish the level WHAT'S INSIDE > Bright colors and satisfying, chain-reaction pops > Easy to pick up, with levels that get more clever as you go > Hand-made levels to work through > A relaxing tropical vibe that is still a real challenge > No timers and no pressure, just popping at your own pace Every level is a small puzzle to figure out: read the pit, choose the right shooter, and pop your way to a clean board. Once you start, it is hard to stop. Think you can clear them all? Download Pop Loop! and give it a try.
