The evil king Thanatos has cast a spell on the world of fairies, causing them to fight amongst themselves. Only Lip is protected from the spell, so sets out to break the spell and stop Thanatos.

Panel Pop is a match-3 block puzzle game. Rows of coloured blocks rise from the bottom of the screen. Using the cursor, switch horizontally adjacent blocks to create horizontal or vertical lines of three or more of the same colour. Matched blocks vanish and any blocks above them will tumble down. If the stack of blocks hits the top of the screen then it's game over.

As well as the story, you can play an endless mode or clear puzzles within a limited number of moves.

Game Modes

Endless Mode

Play continuously to remove blocks as they gradually pick up speed.

Story Mode

Clear all the blocks above a particular line to clear stages. As you move through the stages you learn of the plight of the fairies.

Puzzle Mode

You are given a set number of block switches and a non-moving stack of blocks to clear within that number of switches.
