| Roles Reversed - A totally normal update | 2025-04-01 | 🤩Pop of the morning to you!🤩 I'm happy to share a new update with you, that is totally not an April Fools update. In this new gamemode, called 🧻Roles Reversed🧻, you play as...the box! Instead of deciding where the emoji drops in the box, you now decide where the box is when you drop the emoji. But! Be careful! Don't let any emojis fall out of the box, or you'll lose. I hope you enjoy the new gamemode! Also, I've added some new achievements. Enjoy! TheShelfman ------------- Changes: Added new gamemode, "Roles Reversed". Play as the box! In Mountain Climber gamemode; changed "Highscore" to "Lowscore" because it seems funnier Added several n |
| New content? In this economy? | 2025-03-23 | Hey everyone! I added a new game mode to Popmoji: Mountain Climber. In this gamemode, you try to lose with as little points as possible! But the funny part is that it's pretty windy, so the emojis are constantly moving in one direction. So good luck trying to lose as quickly as possible. New gamemodes and abilities will be coming in the future. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in particular! Changelog: Changes: Added new gamemode "Mountain Climber" Fixes: Fixed leaderboard buttons while in-game |
| (2024-10-10-2) Changelog | 2024-10-10 | Fixes: Fixed clouds for real this time Scrolling through the leaderboards while in a game should no longer change your highscore |
| (2024-10-10) Changelog | 2024-10-10 | Fixes: Prevent clouds from getting bigger when using cloud ability twice in a row |
| (2024-10-08) Changelog | 2024-10-08 | Changes: Changed Foot ability description to better reflect the ability Score multipliers can now stack (maximum x10) Emojis now get destroyed after falling/clipping out of the box (once they're out of sight) All time based abilities now pause when the ability screen is opened (except for hole and shake) |
| (2024-10-07) Changelog | 2024-10-07 | Changes: In Shuffle mode, the sword ability now ignores emojis that have just spawned In Shuffle mode, the line will not go down anymore if there are no emojis in the box Removed Foot ability from Out of Control mode Fixes: Fixed hole ability only working once in Shuffle mode Attempt at fixing part of the emojis in the box just disappearing between selecting new abilities (let me know if it happens again!) |
| (2024-10-06-3) Changelog | 2024-10-06 | Changes: Keepie Uppie gameover particles are now white so it better fits the rest of the game's style Fixes: No more chance at the game crashing in The Pit when getting a new ability (caused by the hole ability) |
| (2024-10-06-2) Changelog | 2024-10-06 | Changes: Added new gamemode “The Pit” where you are gameover if an emoji falls out of the box, or clips through the box Added a delay in Keepie Uppie to an emoji hitting the gameover line, and actually being game over. It also shows a particle effect now to better give the player feedback of being game over |
| (2024-10-05_2) Changelog | 2024-10-05 | Changes: Who knows? ability now shows what ability it has activated Fixes: Not every gamemode is the random ability gamemode anymore (sorry about that! Exported with debug values oops) Getting an ability that requires a click when activating Who knows? automatically selects an emoji for you |
| (2024-10-05) Changelog | 2024-10-05 | Fixes: Keepie Uppie gamemode no longer shows “Merge Emojis” text Shuffle gamemode actually activates the abilities again |
| The "Alpharad broke my game" update | 2024-10-04 | Huge thanks to Alpharad playing Popmoji on his Alpharad Platinum channel! You can check out the video here: Fixes: Game over line now reappears after shake ability is interrupted by the ability selection screen The hammer ability can now no longer be spammed to cause some objects to be stuck forever Thanks to everyone that checked out my game! If you have any ideas for more abilities, gamemodes or something else, feel free to let me know! I unfortunately can't manually add in Alpharad's score because that lies completely with Steam, but his score is still in our hearts. Enjoy! TheShelfman |
| The Game Modes Update! | 2024-08-05 | 🤩Pop of the morning to you!🤩 It's finally here! The Game Modes update! I'm happy to share that besides the original Popmoji game mode with all the special abilities, there are now 10 more game modes to explore. Some with large changes, other with small changes. Some of my favorites: -Moon Bouncer- More bounce and less gravity -Out Of Control- Emojis slowly grow in size with time -Keepie Uppie- Completely different! Keep the emojis up in the sky for as long as possible And 7 more! With all of those new game modes, I've also gone ahead and added a bunch new achievements, 25 to be exact. So happy achievement hunting! I've also added 2 new abil |
| (2024-05-19) Changelog | 2024-05-19 | Fixed Cloud ability description saying 10x score rather than 5x |
| (2024-05-09) Changelog | 2024-05-13 | Changes: Changed cloud score modifier to 5x (was 10x) Only allowed to reroll the ability "shop" 3 times at a time |
| (2024-05-10) Changelog | 2024-05-10 | Fixed score modifier affecting new bomb ability button and reroll button in ability screen (it was somehow possible to have a negative score lol) |
| Rerolls & Colors Update! | 2024-05-09 | 🤩Pop of the morning to you!🤩 Finally a new update, while I'm working on a big update in the meantime. There's a new ability, the cloud abiliy. It will cover your screen for about 30 seconds, but in the meantime, anytime you get points, you get 10x the regular score! Besides that, two new buttons have been added to the ability screen. Bomb button and reroll button. They cost a certain percentage of your points, but can be incredibly useful when going for that highscore! And finally, you can now give all emojis a distinguishable color! Some people found the yellow to make it difficult to see which emoji was which, especially when they're flat |
| (2024-03-22) Changelog | 2024-03-22 | Fixes: mouse ability now shrinks the clicked emoji to its proper size rather than a random size (which was usually really tiny) you can no longer use an ability while the xp goal is reached, right before the ability screen opens. This caused emojis to disappear with some abilities |
| Happy Pi Day! | 2024-03-14 | Happy Pi day! - Added a pie ability. It looks like a cake, but I promise it's a pie. Also it upgrades every emoji in the field! |
| Abilities & QoL Update! | 2024-03-08 | 🤩Pop of the morning to you!🤩 I've been a little quiet as of late because I've been working hard on my next game's release, but I'm excited to share the next big Popmoji update with you! 8 new abilities have been added that significantly change the game's meta. With that, I've also made a proper settings menu! I will leave exploring the new abilities to you, but here's one of my favorites of the new update, the rocket ability! This is not the end of Popmoji! I'll start working on adding some new game modes soon, as well as adding even more abilities! Until then, keep popping, and leave a review while you’re at it😁 You can find the full chan |
| The Stats & Turtles Update | 2024-01-11 | 🤩Pop of the morning to you!🤩 It’s been a couple of days since Popmoji launched, and I’m honestly blown away by how much you all seem to be enjoying it. So before anything else, thank you so much for playing the game, and making the battle for the #1 spot on the leaderboard so much fun! Now, for the new update… Welcome everyone to the Stats & Turtles update! The main addition to the game in this update is the stats page! You can now see several stats from your time playing the game, like the amount of rounds you’ve played, how many emojis you’ve merged, how many breads you’ve breaded, etc. There’ll probably be more added, but these are alrea |
| Popmoji is OUT NOW!!🤩 | 2024-01-09 | Good day Poppers! I'm happy to announce that Popmoji is now available to play on both Steam and Google Play. 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆 (the fireworks emojis are a little disappointing) Merge emojis, use special abilities, and reach the highest score possible!🏆 The leaderboard is already filling up, and people are battling for that first place. While everyone is enjoying the game, I'll be working on adding more abilities, achievements, and other features for a future update! Don't forget to join the discord to be part of the discussion, and feel free to share your ideas there, too! - join the server here - I look forward to sharing more with you soon. |
| Update 2024-01-09-2 | 2024-01-09 | Changes: Shake ability is now more intense and should be more useful! Wind ability will now also blow the emojis horizontally (direction is random) When switching between devices, it’ll check if you have a highscore on the leaderboard and it will load this instead of deleting your old score and going back to 0 Player name is highlighted in the leaderboard Leaderboard looks a little nicer now! Fixes: Fixed player not showing on the leaderboard when they’re not in the top 10, and everyone being shown after them instead |
