Creep Drop: a free falling-bubble puzzle with twikoi's creatures

What is Creep Drop?

Creep Drop is a free falling-bubble puzzle game made entirely of twikoi's drawings. Pairs of bubbles fall into your board, and each bubble carries one of her creature heads.

Line up four of the same kind and they pop. Whatever was on top falls down, and if it makes a new group of four, that pops too: a chain. Longer chains send more ants to your rival's board.

Climb a ladder of eight of her creatures, play endless against the Ant Hill, try the daily drop, learn chains in chain school, or play a friend online on two phones.

How to play

Move the falling pair left and right, and turn it. On a phone use the big buttons under the board, or drag and tap on the board.
Pop four or more bubbles of the same kind touching up, down, left or right.
Chain: when a pop makes bubbles fall into a new group of four, that pops too. Every link makes the chain much stronger.
Ants: chains send ants to your rival. Ants only go away when a bubble pops right next to them.
Cancel: ants coming at you show above your board. Your own chains cancel them first, so fire back!
Watch the X: if a bubble lands on the X at the top of the third column, you lose the round.

Features

Five bubble kinds, each with its own shape, pattern and creature, so the game works without telling colours apart.
A ladder of eight of her creatures as computer rivals, each with its own playing style, then a faster night ladder.
Twelve crews of her creature heads to ride in your bubbles, unlocked as your Drop level grows.
Endless mode against the Ant Hill, with levels, medals and a saved run you can continue.
A daily drop: the same pairs for everyone today, 150 seconds, and a result to share.
Chain school: 31 puzzles, solved and checked by computer, that teach chains step by step.
Online versus on two phones with a 4-letter room code, first to two rounds, with rematches.

Modes, levels and unlocks

Ladder: Beat eight of her creatures one after the other, first to two rounds. Three stars each, then a night ladder.
Endless: The Ant Hill sends bigger and bigger ant waves. How long can you keep your board clear?
Daily drop: The same pairs for everyone today. Score as much as you can in 150 seconds and share your result.
Chain school: Puzzles with only a pair or two to use: make the chain the lesson asks for.
Play a friend: Make a room, share the 4-letter code, and play versus on two phones.

Tips

Stack two of a kind on top of two of another kind. When the bottom pops, the top falls and pops too.
Keep the third column low: that is where new pairs come in.
Do not pop every group of four at once. Save them up and fire a long chain.
When ants are coming, answer with a chain of your own: it cancels them before they fall.
The dashed outlines show where your pair will land.

Who will like Creep Drop?

Creep Drop is for anyone who likes quick puzzle games: a round takes a minute or two, and chains feel great.

It is also for fans of twikoi's art: her creature heads ride in every bubble, and the crews page links to each one on her site.
