“Pop!” is a casual block-matching puzzle game for two players on a single playing field. Bubbles fall from the top of the screen in pairs, and each player control a pair of bubbles that they can move sideways, rotate and drop down. Matching at least four of the same color makes the bubbles pop. Speed and cooperation is rewarded with score bonuses.

The game is over when bubbles reach the top, so you better help each other out when the bubbles start to stack up on one side of the screen.

In a first-person view, you will be using your own fists which is tracked by the Kinect camera to punch deadly creatures, by doing so you gain more points. To avoid people going nuts with their arms, you will have to avoid punching friendly creatures as you loose points by punching them. Creatures can come from either left or the right side of you, which means you always have to be ready with both of your arms.
