Pigment Pop is color-by-number that doesn't rush you. Tap a numbered cell, watch the color pop into place, and let a picture appear one square at a time. No timers. No lives. No streak to protect. Put it down mid-picture and it will be exactly where you left it. 261 PICTURES, 12 CATEGORIES Nature, animals, fantasy, mandalas, food, cities, seasonal scenes, abstract patterns - and four new arrivals: dinosaurs and fossils, musical instruments, carnival rides, and playroom toys. Every one hand-tuned so the colors feel good together. YOUR OWN PHOTOS Turn any photo into a coloring page. Crop to the square you want, pick how detailed you'd like it, and the game builds a palette for you. Your photos are processed on your device and never uploaded. TWO GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS Images Colored and Pigment Points. Choose a display name and watch yourself climb as you color. Your own row stays pinned in view, so you always know where you stand. MYSTERY MODE Hide the picture and color blind, letting the image reveal itself as you go. TAKE YOUR TIME Hints when you're stuck, undo when you misclick, and a level that grows with every cell you fill. One optional purchase removes all intrusive ads, forever. Made by Brownaro Studios.

About

PloppleMatch

Read full description

PloppleMatch is a cozy 3D puzzle about sorting a big tumbling pile of the weirdest, cutest little monsters you've ever seen. Tap a Plopple to pop it into your tray, gather three of a kind, and โ€” POP! โ€” they clear in a happy little burst. Finish each pile's collection goals and roll on to the next wobbly puzzle. It's the "just one more match" tap-and-sort loop, with real toy-box physics and a pile full of googly-eyed Plopples. HOW IT PLAYS โ€ข Tap the Plopples you want โ€” they tumble down into your 7-slot tray โ€ข Line up three of the same kind and they clear with a satisfying pop โ€ข Complete each level's collection goals to win โ€” no timers, no rush โ€ข Careful: fill every tray slot with no match and you're stuck โ€” but a rescue is always one tap away COLLECT THE WHOLE PILE โ€ข Meet dozens of weird little Plopples across five themed worlds โ€” classic Plopples, Dino Pals, Star Sprouts, Reef Buddies, and Sugarlumps โ€” with more on the way โ€ข Every creature you clear joins your Codex collection โ€ข Each world restyles the whole scene with its own colors and character FAIR BY DESIGN โ€ข Every level is honestly beatable โ€” each one is checked, so there's no fake difficulty and no dead ends โ€ข No energy meters, no countdown timers, no pay-to-win โ€” ever โ€ข Handy helpers โ€” Undo, Mix, and an extra tray slot โ€” for when you want a hand โ€ข A "reduce flashing" option and gentle, wholesome art โ€ข Small download, plays offline, no account or sign-up PloppleMatch is free to play. A few optional extras โ€” a rescue when your tray is full, or a quick helper โ€” can be unlocked by watching an optional rewarded video, but every level can be finished with skill alone. Tap, sort, and match the weird ones, three at a time.
