OceanPop is a relaxing match 3 puzzle game with a twist. Dive into the relaxing world of OceanPop and experience waves of match-3 gameplay with the three modes available.
Don't get crushed by the tides before completing the 35 levels in regular mode, feel the rush of the currents in challenge mode or just go with the flow of the ocean breeze in relaxed mode.
User guide
In OceanPop, the goal is to reach the target score before running out of moves. Earn points by lining up 3 or more shells of the same type.
This is done by moving one shell as far horizontally or vertically as the user would like, but it can only be placed if it creates a match. Each time this is done, a move is used.
There are a couple of different shells to match:
From the left, the first 5 all give points. The more matches in one turn the more points. The other 2 have a different effect, though:
- Don't match the sea urchin, it will cost points.
- Match the bubble to earn extra moves.
Controls
Analog/D-Pad - Cursor
Cross - Pick/drop a shell, Confirm in menus
Circle - Cancel
