POPUCOM
POPUCOM is a multiplayer co-op platform adventure game. As an adventurer, you are summoned to an unknown planet to embark on an exoplanet expedition with your friends. Face various enemies and use engaging items and techniques to eliminate threats and restore the world to its former glory. The game features two main modes: a narrative-driven story mode designed for two players, and a high-energy "Party Mode" for three to four players, perfect for chaotic fun and shared laughter. Both modes can be played in local or online co-op. Additionally, there are several accessibility options, including a "colorblind assist mode" with customizable color schemes and a "color enhancement mode" to boost the functional colors of adventurers and map objects. Whether solving mysteries or diving into fast-paced action, POPUCOM delivers a cooperative experience packed with charm, humor, and excitement.
- Engage in Fun-Filled Co-Op Gameplay: Work together with your friends to take on a variety of challenges. Effective cooperation and strong teamwork are the only ways forward. Whether facing powerful enemies or tackling complex puzzles, you'll need to work together to triumph!
- Embark on a Colorful Adventure: Color plays a crucial role in this fantastical world and is key to everything, from puzzle solving to combat. Switch colors to activate mechanisms and solve puzzles, and shoot Pomu gel in different colors to change the surroundings and impact enemies.

- Use Items to Work Miracles: During the journey, you will acquire items known as "Super artifacts". Examples of these wondrous artifacts include Rollo the Bomb, Captain Kitty, Barrier Bot, and Power Kid. Each grants a unique ability that helps remove obstacles and solve puzzles throughout your adventure.
