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.
