Disney POP TOWN: How to play?

What are Lives?

Lives are required to begin playing a level. You can have a maximum of five lives at a time and each life is automatically renewed after 30 minutes. If you successfully beat a level, you will earn the life back to your total. Lives can be lost if you do not successfully finish a level, restart the leve, or close your app before completion. However, you can obtain more before the cooldown timer finishes by completing Daily Missions, watching video ads, or purchasing them with Rubies.

Rubies are a currency used to draw costumes from Lucky Boxes, continue playing levels if you run out of moves, and purchase power-ups. Rubies are obtained by purchasing them from the shop, earning event rewards, or watching video ads.

What are Coins?

Coins are used to gain new decoration designs, draw from the normal Lucky Box, and purchase power-ups. Coins can be earned by beating levels, watching video ads, and earning event rewards.

What are Stars?

Stars are resources used during chapter quests to complete tasks and fix the towns. Stars can be earned by successfully completing levels.

What are Power-Ups?

Tapping on groups of blocks can create useful items called power-ups that can help you clear levels faster! Power-ups are obtained by purchasing them with Coins or Rubies, watching video ads, and earning event rewards.

Rocket Pin: Match a 2 x 2 block in a square formation to create a Rocket Pin! Launch the Rocket Pin to clear blocks in a + formation and one Wooden Crate!

Line Pin: Match four blocks in a row to create a Line Pin! Use the Line Pin to clear an entire column of blocks.

Kaboom: Match blocks in a T-shape to make a Kaboom! Each Kaboom removes surrounding blocks on all sides.
