\"\"<\/a>Those big-headed, soulless black eyed Funko Pop figurines are EVERYWHERE!\u00a0 And pretty much any movie, TV, comic book, even food commercial characters have their own figure.\u00a0 I\u2019ve tried to stay away from them, myself, since I\u2019m already so bad with amiibo figures, but even I have a few of them.\u00a0 I had to have all the Pac-Man ones, because you know I would.\u00a0 Plus I\u2019ve got a couple of other video game related ones I\u2019ve found on sale.\u00a0 And now there is a match three puzzle game on mobile devices featuring Funko Pop characters!<\/p>\n

It plays just like any other match three puzzler.\u00a0 Slide Funko Pop faces to match three to make them disappear.\u00a0 Match more and you can get power-ups to clear even more.\u00a0 Some of the characters on the playfield include stars from Shrek, Jurassic Park, Kung-Fu Panda, Pillsbury Dough Boy, General Mills cereal characters, Universal Monsters, and more!\u00a0 You\u2019ll earn coins after each round that you can use to buy more virtual figures, and you can equip one as a \u2018helper\u2019 and when you clear enough of their heads, you can use their skill.\u00a0 For instance, I had Marty McFly as my helper and he uses the DeLorean to go back in time and give you a few extra seconds of playtime.\u00a0 When you\u2019re time is over, it\u2019s Game Over and your score is tallied.<\/p>\n

There is no world map or any way to show progression, you just play the same board each time with different characters.\u00a0 And you can only play five times until you must wait to recharge how many times you can play.\u00a0 You just play to get more coins to buy more virtual figures, and the cycle repeats itself.\u00a0 Because of this and the other free-to-play aspects of these kinds of games, I lost interest pretty quickly.\u00a0 Also they have special events where you can get extra points if you use a certain character.\u00a0 They recently had a Jurassic Park event, and I had a Jurassic Park character, but I still didn\u2019t get any bonuses.\u00a0 I guess you have to have a specific character that\u2019s impossible to get?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know, they didn\u2019t make it very clear.\u00a0 Next up as of this writing they\u2019re supposed to do a \u201cThe Office\u201d event, but I probably won\u2019t be playing this game anymore by then.\u00a0 I\u2019d say only the most die-hard of Funko Pop fans would enjoy this.<\/p>\n
