Arcade
Dropple by WebAlive is a new take on the Endless Jumper genre where you place steps in front of a ball that’s bouncing non-stop, and each time faster and faster. Will you take it nice and slow, ensuring that each step is place accurately, or speed ahead and place multiple steps in quick succession to get a head start early?! Dropple might seem simple at first but strategy certainly plays apart.

Gameplay 56%
Dropple is a casual one-tap game where a ball is bouncing and you construct its way down. At first, a step will be moving from left to right in front of the base where the ball starts, tap so it stays in one place, so the ball can go down, a new step will appear and you have to tap to place it, but now the ball will be bouncing down even if you haven’t placed a step, if it falls down, you lose.
Graphics 60%
Dropple features a basic visual design with not many elements on the screen. There’s the ball or bouncing object that leaves a white transparent trail as it moves, the 3D steps of different colors, and a dark background with a pattern made of diagonal lines and white stars here and there. Nothing to complicated.
Production Quality 63%
Dropple is not exactly an infinite jumper, since you don’t control when the ball jumps, but interact with the platforms instead. It’s an interestinga nd original concept, and can be quite challenging, but it doesn’t really gets addictive and the fun lasts for only a couple of minutes.
Value for your Money 79%
Dropple is free on Google Play and the Apple App Store. After you lose a few times you’ll see a video ad, but that’s to be expected from this kind of games. There’s an ad-free version worth a dollar, and if you enjoy this game and play it for hours, it’s a reasonable price, but most players may want to by something with more production value.Launch Video
