an endless sheet

Pop bubbles.
As much as

you like.

There is no last bubble and no finish line.
Just one sheet, made to feel good under a thumb.

The POP88 screen: a sheet of bubbles where the flattened ones form a heart.

one thing, properly

It is not a game.

No scores. No rankings. Nothing to clear.

POP88 cares about exactly one thing: how it feels to pop a bubble. You will not get better at it, and you cannot lose.

two ways to go about it

01

Real mode

A bubble gives when you press firmly into it. Take them one at a time, with a little room to linger. Probably not for days when you are in a hurry.

02

Exhilarating mode

The first bubble still needs a firm press. From the moment it goes until you lift your finger, everything you trace bursts in a row. Apart from that one push to get started, it suits the days when you would rather not think.

The sheet does not run out

Pop as much as you like and it keeps going the other way. Nobody has reached the last bubble. Stop wherever you are and come back whenever you feel like it.

Your popping record stays here

Your count and the times you popped stay on your device and are sent nowhere. There is no account, so there is nobody to be overtaken by.

A little affection, mixed in

Every now and then, a heart-shaped bubble appears and pops with a slightly lighter sound.

POP88 Pro

One purchase, no subscription.

POP88 Pro removes ads and unlocks faster scrolling and the popping attendant, which keeps popping while the app is open. It is a one-time purchase with nothing recurring.

Heart-shaped bubbles are available as a separate add-on after POP88 Pro.

the popping attendant

There is someone for that.

With POP88 Pro, you can hand the sheet to an attendant. They keep working while the app is open, and their work is counted separately from yours.

The methodical one

Finishes a row, turns, and starts the next. Nothing much is left behind.

The scattered one

Favors the bubbles furthest away. The sheet clears in patches.

The half-attentive one

Pops a few, pauses, then resumes as though nothing happened.

They work in Real mode. Touch the sheet yourself and they can either step aside, or clock out for the day.

the timekeeping one

A needlessly elaborate clock.

One attendant does not tidy the sheet at all. They write the current time in bubbles, then begin again beside it.

Made for tablets on stands and shop displays. Each reading takes a little over forty bubbles: a suitably extravagant way to tell the time.

why POP88?

The name is the whole thing.

POP is the sound a bubble makes on the way out. An 8 on its side is ∞, because the sheet never runs out. Two 8s make four round openings: bubbles in a row. It is said “Pop Eighty-Eight”, and it is not a quantity of anything.
