boba:3 is a cozy kawaii merge game for iPhone and iPad. drop bouncy pearls
into a boba cup, watch them squish together with soft-body physics, and grow a
tiny family of animals: mice, hamsters, bunnies, cats, pigs, bears, elephants,
and whales.

most merge games end when the container fills. boba:3 is built the other way
around: a full cup is a situation you can play out of, using special pearls
that clear space and open paths. underneath, an unlockable flavor system
re-themes the entire game as you play. it's a merge game for relaxing, not
for sweating.

boba:3 is a cozy kawaii merge game for iPhone and iPad, made by a solo
developer.

you drop bouncy pearls into a boba cup. matching pearls squish together with
soft-body physics and grow into bigger animals:  a mouse becomes a hamster,
a hamster becomes a bunny, and so on up to the whale. the cup fills as you go.

in most merge games, a full container is the end of the run. boba:3 is
designed around the opposite feeling. special pearls clear space, open paths,
and let you recover from a board that looked finished — so the tense part of
the genre becomes the part you play through instead of the part you lose to.

running underneath is a flavor system. flavors unlock as you play and re-theme
the whole game:  the liquid, the light, the background, the atmosphere — so
the game you're looking at after ten hours isn't the one you started with.

boba:3 is in development for iPhone and iPad. release date TBA.


NOTE ON HEADLINES
-----------------
if you need a hook: it's a merge game about recovery, made by a designer who
doesn't write code.
