HOW TO PLAY
Poppit! is a leisurely-paced puzzle game where the object is to release "prizes" by popping groups of 2 or more balloons of the same color. Releasing all the prizes will earn you a jackpot spin. After you release all the prizes, try to pop all the remaining balloons. If you leave 5 or less balloons, you'll earn bonus tokens!

Pop Groups of Balloons
In Poppit!, the object is to pop groups of 2 or more like-colored balloons so that you can release the "prizes". You must pop groups of 2 or more-single balloons cannot be popped. After you pop balloons, balloons below the ones you've just popped will rise upwards (or inward) to fill the gaps.


Releasing Prizes
When you pop a balloon with a prize (and when no other balloons rise up to take that balloon's place), a box will drop to the bottom of the screen, the prize will be released, and the prize's token value will be added to your (potential) total. In the lower left-hand corner (below our cactus mascot, Spike!), you'll see the number of tokens that you've earned during this addicting puzzle game.

Special Power Ups
To help you win the puzzle game you can use special power-ups that are sometimes released instead of a prize:

Pin - Use the pin to pop a single balloon in the puzzle.
Weight - Use the weight to shift a column down a single row. This can help create new groups of balloons that you can pop
