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.

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.

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

what are the flavors?

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

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

when can i play?

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

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 platforms?

pc and mobile. pre-order it on the app store (iphone + ipad) and wishlist it on steam. android is coming too, and there's a beta u can play right now on iphone and android.

how do i get the android beta?

on ur android phone, open play-boba.com/#android. it's two taps: 1. join the tester group. 2. tap become a tester, then download it on google play. use the same google account that's on ur phone. if google play says the item isn't found, that's normal for the first few minutes: wait 5 minutes and tap the link again.

how much, and will there be ads?

who makes it?

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