I woke up today to find an email from Nnooo Games announcing that their new game “Pop” has finally hit the App Store. We had the beta floating around in our test labs for a few weeks now, and am finally able to talk about it. Pop is a bubble popping game with slick graphics that will grab anyone’s attention.

If you remember back when the App Store first made its appearance, there were a lot of these fun bubblewrap games that had become quite popular. I know my 27-year old brother couldn’t stop playing that game. Of course the game started getting old (same thing happens when a kid is given bubblewrap) and we needed a little more. So I was thrilled when we were offered to beta test the game.

The game has a superb graphics engine where it renders smooth 3D soap bubbles and you just got to pop them. Of course, the game has its rules. Tapping anywhere but a bubble will reduce your time, tapping small or large bubbles gives you more or less points and there are special bubbles giving you extra points or slowing down gameplay. Ultimately the gameplay is entertaining and the graphics are spot on.

Oh, and for those who just want to pop bubbles, there’s a casual mode where you can endlessly pop bubbles, useful for when you are at the psychiatrists office. 

Pop is priced at a reasonable $4.99 at the App Store, so if you want some high quality bubble popping action, Pop has got the pop. After all, my 27 year-old brother quickly moved from the Bubblewrap to Pop!
