Dodge and pop bubbles with your anchor while collecting power-ups and managing Bubble Pirate’s constant gravity-switching mischief!

Coins as far as the eye can see!

Sail to the sound of authentic chiptune anthems by renowned artists Harry Waters, GYMS & Matthew Ivic. Every track is a pulse-pounding voyage into classic 8-bit energy.

Compete against friends and players worldwide. Rise through the ranks, and unlock tricky achievements as you perfect your high score runs.

Originally released 10 years ago, Pirate Pop has had some small bug fixed and a bit of extra polish, to remain the classic score chaser it always was, and stand the test of time.

Supports keyboard, retro gamepads, arcade sticks, and even steering wheels (if you’re brave enough to try).
So join Pete Jr on his quest to defeat the nefarious Bubble Pirate, and free the innocent townsfolk trapped in bubbles, in this authentic retro arcade action game!
