About This Game

A FEW KERNELS. A WHOLE LOT OF POP.

Pop!Corn is a pixel-art incremental game about building a bigger, busier popcorn kitchen. Move your cursor over kernels to heat them, watch them burst, and finish each batch to turn your popcorn into cups for permanent upgrades. What starts as a few careful pops grows into a pan full of cooking tools, flying popcorn, and rising rewards.

HOVER. HEAT. POP!

Guide the heat with your cursor and make the most of each short batch. Upgrade your cooking power and reach, then watch more kernels pop and more flavor cups fill up. Every new tool and upgrade gives you something to try in the next round.

GROW YOUR OWN RECIPE TREE

Spend your cups on a connected research tree. Increase your starting supply, improve your popcorn's value, unlock cooking effects, and work toward the next recipe or piece of equipment. Choose what to improve as a handful of kernels becomes a screen-filling rush of pops.

FIVE FLAVORS TO DISCOVER

Start with Original, then unlock Butter, Cheddar, Caramel, and premium Truffle. Each flavor has its own cups to collect and spend, opening new recipes and upgrades as your kitchen grows.

BUILD A BETTER KITCHEN

Craft and equip 14 cooking tools, from humble pans to powerful popcorn machines. Earn cooking experience with your latest equipment and prepare the next upgrade. Unlock an automatic cooker for extra production while you spend time in your shop.

ONE SECRET CARD, MORE SURPRISES

Spend Chef Tip points to receive a random tip you haven't learned yet, then flip the card to reveal your new bonus. Discover kitchen keepsakes during completed batches, record them in your notebook, and put their lasting benefits to work.

MAKE IT A GRAND OPENING

Build toward your shop's Grand Opening and bring your cooking tools together for a special service event. After the ending, keep growing with endless upgrades.

One more upgrade. One more flavor. One more batch.
