What is pop-pop?

pop-pop is a unique fusion of pulse-quickening arcade game action and Internetworkable combat that's more addictive (and more colorful) than a handful of JellyBelly jellybeans. Pick your character, then enter the bright happy world of fierce brick-bashing combat, where your paddle is your weapon, and your pop-fu must be strong to survive.

pop-pop has over 100 built-in puzzle levels if you want to play solo to sharpen your pop-pop'ing skills, or you can play against the viciously aggressive computer AI pops for a test of your mettle. The real challenge of your pop-worth, however, is when you enter the Internet arena to play against other pop-pop players all over the world!

screenshotpop-pop has a built-in Ambrosia game tracker that allows you to easily find other people to play against, or you can use pop-pop's built-in GameRanger support for finding opponents. pop-pop works under Mac OS 8.6 or later, is fully Mac OS X native, and is playable from anywhere in the world, even over slow modem Internet connections.

The easy to learn, hard to master zen-like nature of pop-pop will keep you coming back for "just one more game" until your optical mouse is worn to a small translucent nub. See you on the tracker!
