Tap. Pop. Cast!

Pocket Arcanist is a bright, casual puzzle game with fantasy monster battles. Tap groups of same-colored boxes to pop them: every pop strikes the monster looming over your board, and the right pop casts a spell. The clock is your life - bring the monster down before time runs out!

POP TO ATTACK
Tap any group of two or more touching boxes of one color. Bigger groups hit far harder and score far more. Star boxes double the whole pop, skull boxes make the monster hit back and steal your seconds. No lives, no energy bar - just you, the board and the clock.

20 HIDDEN SPELLS
How you pop decides what you cast: exactly three boxes, a huge group, the same color twice in a row or a whole color sequence. Red burns the monster, green wins back time, blue rains fresh boxes onto the board, yellow pays gold and pink brings a bit of everything. Every recipe is a secret until your first cast - then your Grimoire keeps it for you. Can you find Firebolt, Tornado, Hourglass, Jackpot and Rainbow?

MONSTERS THAT FIGHT BACK
Orcs, gnolls, skeleton archers, ice trolls, magma golems, a demon lord - 19 monsters, and they do not just stand there. As their health drops they cast skills of their own: fog over the top rows, frozen boxes, doom runes that count down, a locked color, even gravity turned upside down. Each skill is explained the first time you meet it, and a level always brings the same boards and the same skills, so every retry is a fair rematch.

AN ENDLESS CAMPAIGN
28 hand-made levels lead from green hills to sun-baked sands, frozen peaks and ember wastes - and then the journey simply goes on: new worlds keep appearing, and a boss guards the end of every one. Earn up to three stars per level and come back any time to beat your best.

SCORE RUSH
The monster is down? Keep popping! Every further pop is pure score, a cleared board pays a Perfect Clear bonus, and leftover seconds carry over into the next wave. You decide when to move on.

DAILY CHALLENGE
A new challenge every day, a single try, a boss at the end - and gems to win.

BOOSTERS FOR TRICKY BOARDS
The sword removes a single box, the bomb clears a whole row and column, the potion recolors the neighbors of a box. Boosters cost gold or gems, and both are earned simply by playing.
