Pop Catch Tips: How to Top the All-India Popcorn Game Leaderboard

Popcorn kernels and freshly popped popcorn

Pop Catch is a free game on the Pops Recipe website. Move your basket to catch falling popcorn, and dodge the burnt kernels. On a computer, use A and D or the left and right arrow keys. On a phone, just touch the screen.

Tip one: stay near the middle so you can reach either side in time. Tip two: grab power-ups when you can. They can slow things down, pull popcorn toward your basket, give you a shield, widen your basket or double your points.

Tip three: do not chase every kernel. A missed piece costs less than a burnt one. Stay calm and keep your basket under the good popcorn.

When the game ends, you can save your score with a name on the all-India leaderboard. A phone number is optional and is never shown to anyone. Pick your favourite flavour colour for your basket before you start, and see how high you can go.
