about boba:3 — a cozy kawaii merge game for pc and mobile

boba:3 is a cozy kawaii merge game coming to PC (Steam) and mobile. drop bouncy pearls, watch them squish together with soft-body physics, and grow a tiny family of animals — mice, hamsters, bunnies, cats, pigs, bears, elephants, and whales.

how do you play boba:3?

tap to drop a pearl. two matching animals that touch merge into the next animal up. fill the cup and it spills — but a rare pearl can clear space and bring the run back. simple to learn, calming to play, with a tiny purple cat watching everything you do.

who are the special friends?

rare pearls that do something other than merge: they clear space, open a path, or otherwise change the shape of a run that looked finished. they are the reason a full cup is not always a lost cup.

how is boba:3 different from suika game or the watermelon game?

if you found boba:3 searching for a suika game alternative, the difference is that boba:3 is built around recovery. in most merge games a full container ends the run. in boba:3 a full cup is a situation you can play your way out of. you also unlock flavors that re-theme the entire game, and the pace is cozy rather than tense. it's a merge game you play to relax, not to sweat.

platforms

coming to PC on Steam and to mobile. an iPhone and iPad beta is available now on TestFlight. in development.

stuff ppl ask

how do you play?

tap to drop a pearl. two matching animals that touch merge into the next one up, mouse all the way to whale.

what makes it different?

most merge games only let u add on top of the pile, slowly approaching ur demise. here, u can get special friends to help u and create a shift in the cup in different, unexpected ways, so u never get the same run twice

can i lose?

yeah, if the cup spills, that run's over. but u still got a bit closer to unlocking more flavors. it's the softest game over u've ever seen, and ur back in one tap :3

is it luck?

u can always see what's coming next, so u've got something to plan around. the special friends are the surprise, not the whole game.

what are the flavors?

every flavor re-themes the whole game: the liquid, the background, the lighting. u unlock them by playing.

what platforms?

pc (on steam) and mobile. right now there's a beta for iphone + ipad on testflight, and u can wishlist it on steam.

how do i get the iphone beta?

on ur iphone or ipad: 1. install testflight from the app store (it's apple's free app for beta games). 2. open the boba:3 invite link and tap accept, then install. 3. boba:3 shows up on ur home screen. if the invite link opens a webpage instead, testflight isn't installed yet, so do step 1 and tap the link again. see the steps

where do i send feedback or flavor ideas?

the discord! suggest flavors, share screenshots of ur best cups, tell me what's broken. i read everything :3 join here

how much, and will there be ads?

when can i play?

who makes it?

me. i'm making it. shilat. :3
