Germ Squad is a capsule-popping puzzle game with a twist: your capsules FLOAT. Launch two-tone capsules up into the petri dish, line up three or more of a color, and pop every germ before your supply runs out. FLOAT, STEER, POP — Drag to steer, tap to rotate, flick up to launch. Capsules rise instead of fall, and loose halves drift upward, so you plan your chains from the top down. 40 SECTORS, 8 WORLDS — From Meadow Dish to Deep Lab. Ice, bubbles, crates, fins, and poppers keep every board fresh. Earn up to three stars per sector. SIX SPECIALISTS — Recruit Dr. Pip, Dr. Frost, Dr. Ray, Dr. Volt, Dr. Lux, and Dr. Brick. Popping germs charges their skill: a 3x3 blast, an ice-shattering flash, prism capsules, and more. DAILY CHALLENGE — One fresh dish every day, the same board for everyone. Build a streak and earn bonus coins. BOOSTERS AND ENDLESS MODE — Spend coins on pre-stage boosters, then test your stamina in Endless mode with rising waves. • Free to play, with optional ads and purchases • Remove ads forever with a single purchase • Works offline — no account, no sign-up required • Original music and art, made for quick sessions Clear the colony.
