Classic
The standard jar. See how big you can grow.
The full-width jar with shelf blobs from 1 to 16. Merge pairs, build combos and push for the biggest blob you can make. This is the mode most players start with.
Plopjar game modes
Plopjar has six game modes: Classic, Slim, Threes, Sprint, Zen and Chaos. It also has a Daily jar that is the same for every player, and the Jar trail, a set of 24 puzzle levels. Every mode keeps its own best score, and all of them are free.
Which Plopjar mode should I play?
Start with Classic, the standard jar. Pick Zen to relax with no game over, Sprint to race the clock, and Slim when Classic feels too easy. Threes changes the maths to powers of three, and Chaos changes a physics rule every 25 seconds.
| Mode | Goal | Merge rule | Game over? | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | Highest score | 2 matching blobs | Yes | Medium |
| Slim | Highest score | 2 matching blobs | Yes | Hard |
| Threes | Highest score | 3 matching blobs | Yes | Hard |
| Sprint | Make a 1,024 fastest | 2 matching blobs | Yes | Medium |
| Zen | Relax | 2 matching blobs | No | Easy |
| Chaos | Highest score | 2 matching blobs | Yes | Changes |
The six modes
Slim
A narrow jar with small blobs. Hard.
The jar is a little over half as wide and the shelf only deals blobs from 1 to 8. There is far less room to fix mistakes, so careful soft drops matter more than hard throws.
Threes
Powers of three. Three must touch to merge.
Blobs count in powers of three: 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243 and up to 6,561. Two matching blobs are not enough. You need three touching at once, which makes stacking the whole game.
Sprint
Make a 1,024 blob as fast as you can.
A race against the clock. Your result is your time, not your score. Finish under 4 minutes for the Speedy achievement and under 2 minutes 30 seconds for Lightning.
Zen
No game over. Overflow pops away.
Blobs that stay over the line simply pop instead of ending the game. Play as long as you like. It is the best mode for learning how blobs roll, bounce and settle.
Chaos
A rule changes every 25 seconds.
Every 25 seconds a new rule takes over: low gravity, heavy jelly, wind from the left, wind from the right, bouncy walls or double points. Adapt fast, and bank big merges during double points.
How does the Daily jar work?
The Daily jar is a new game every day, and it is the same for every player. Everyone gets the same blobs in the same order, so you can compare scores fairly with friends. Play it on consecutive days to build a streak. Three days in a row earns the On Fire achievement.
Daily missions
Every day also brings three missions, such as “Merge 80 times”, “Hit a ×6 combo”, “Make a 512 blob” or “Merge a rainbow blob”. Each mission you finish earns a star. Missions work in any mode.
Jar trail: all 24 puzzle levels
The Jar trail is a run of 24 puzzle jars. Each level has one goal and a limited number of throws. Some start with blobs already in the jar, use the Slim jar, or add a Chaos rule. Clear a level to unlock the next. Finish within the three-star throw count for a perfect score.
| Level | Goal | Throws | 3 stars | Twist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Make a 16 blob | 12 | 7 or fewer | None |
| 2 | Make a 32 blob | 16 | 10 or fewer | None |
