About Blop
Pop as many bubbles as you can in 20 seconds. What's your high score? Try "Blop" but be careful, it's an addictive game!
How to play Blop
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Blop does one thing and does it properly. There is no bloat around the edges, which is exactly what you want from a arcade game in a browser tab. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
