About This Game

A little Pip. A pocketful of dice. A hundred friends who could use a hand.

Choose your number, line up a shot and pop the matching dice before the board reaches Pip. Keep a steady rhythm to build combos and earn row-clearing powers. But take care: a wrong number sticks to the stack, bringing trouble one step closer.

**Small puzzles, big friendships**

Travel through 100 worlds with ten levels each. At the end of every world, complete a friend's job: gather gold item blocks, follow a mix, or clear a delivery route. Wheels, gears and other job supplies accept any dice number, so look for the item picture and make your shot count.

Each world ends with a short, playful helping scene. Your new friend then joins Pip Village, a scrollable home filled with workshops, gardens and busy little characters. Keep helping to open its ten neighborhoods and bring all 100 friends together.

**Make every pop count**

Earn separate medals for finishing a level, reaching its target score and shooting accurately. Replay your favorites to fill the medal collection and unlock five extra outfits for Pip. Star dice, bombs, lightning and ice keep each board lively, while combos bring bursts of color and a growing score multiplier.

**One more round?**

Marathon keeps the dice coming and gradually increases the pace every four minutes. Chase a new personal best on the local high-score table, then return to the campaign whenever you want another little adventure.

- 1,000 campaign levels across 100 worlds, with five scenery themes and changing region palettes.

- 100 friends with different jobs, helping scenes and permanent places in the village.

- Three medals per level and six Pip looks, including the starting outfit.

- An endless Marathon mode and separate local campaign and Marathon high scores.

- Seven original NES-inspired chiptune tracks.

- Keyboard and controller play, remappable gameplay buttons, separate music and sound volume, and options for flashes and screen shake.
