A few dots. A triangle. A picture waiting to be discovered. Pupapo is a polygon art puzzle where you drag glowing dots onto colored rings to unfold an illustration, one triangle at a time. Look at the colors and shapes, choose where each dot belongs, and watch the picture emerge. HOW TO PLAY • Drag a control dot to a ring of the same color. • Use the surrounding shapes and colors to work out the right position. • Keep unfolding triangles until the whole picture is complete. • Zoom in or move the picture when you want a closer look. A LITTLE LOGIC, A LOT OF DISCOVERY Simple touch controls make it easy to begin. Finding the right arrangement gives your observation and spatial reasoning a satisfying challenge. If a move does not fit, take another look and try a different position. Hints and undo can help when you get stuck. ART WORTH UNCOVERING Discover colorful low-poly illustrations, from animals to everyday surprises. The reward is more than a finished picture: completed artwork comes to life with animation. YOUR NEXT QUIET MOMENT Soft gradients and geometric artwork create a calm setting for a short puzzle break or a longer session. Move a dot, reveal a shape, and see what you can make.
