About the Game

In PopTag, a frantic multiplayer party game, you and up to 7 friends battle it out as walking balloon dogs in a hilarious, fast-paced mix of tag and hide-and-seek. But there's a twist—one touch, and you're popped! Run, hide, and outsmart your opponents in vibrant, colorful levels, each themed after epic celebrations like birthday bashes, club nights, and music festivals. With quirky powerups, environmental interactions, and gummy-fueled dash attacks, every round is a party in itself. Are you ready to pop off?

 

Why settle for just being invited to the party when you can dominate it? In PopTag's main game mode, it's every balloon dog for themselves! Tag, pop, and collect those sweet victory points. The player with the most pops wins, but watch out for those unpredictable powerups. Will you zip around with Dash-Attack or get tripped up by the Flipping A curse? It's a game of chaos, strategy, and constant hilarity.

Step into a world of bold, vibrant visuals inspired by modern pop and crypto art. Each level is a beautifully chaotic celebration, from neon-lit music festivals to colorful backyard birthday parties. The art style may be sleek, but the gameplay is gloriously unpredictable.

Collect Gummy Beans scattered throughout each level to charge up your special attack. Use a quick Dash-Attack to close in on opponents or make a slick escape. But the real fun begins with the powerups! Will you deploy a sneaky Smoke Bomb, lay down a deadly Trickle-Trap, or perhaps… accidentally sabotage others with Blur-Goggles? PopTag ensures no two rounds play the same with these wacky game-changers.

Who needs fireworks when you've got soda cans and bottles? Pick them up and hurl them at your opponents to stun or knock them down. Keep an eye out for hidden thumbtacks—stepping on one could either slow you down or, in the worst case, deflate you completely. The damage system is as hilarious as it is tactical. Lose a leg and limp slowly around the party, or lose both and crawl fast with your arms—but no more jumping for you!

The environment isn’t just a backdrop—it’s your playground! Jump on beds, bounce off boxes, and hide in bushes or behind furniture. Use the secret warp cracks to deflate and sneak through walls, or camouflage yourself against brightly colored backgrounds. The possibilities are endless when the whole environment is a tool for survival and mischief.

With PopTag, the fun never stops. Whether you're dominating the competition or getting hilariously outplayed by your friends, every party is a blast. Add PopTag to your wishlist today and get ready to pop off when the game releases!
