A downloadable game for Android

DROPO Same pieces. Same time. Different decisions.

DROPO is a competitive spatial-placement puzzle game. Two players get the same ordered sequence of geometric pieces. What happens next is entirely up to how each of you thinks.

There's no falling, no gravity, no clock forcing your hand piece by piece. Rotate, study the board, and place each piece exactly where you want it. Complete a row or column to clear it, and clear several at once for a much bigger reward, so the player who plans ahead consistently beats the player who just takes what's in front of them.

But nothing is free. A clear that scores right now might leave you with dead space for whatever comes next. Push the board too hard and you can end up with a piece that has nowhere legal to go, a Board Jam that eats real time in a match that's already ticking down. You'll normally see your current piece and the next one in line; spend a limited Sneak Peek and you get a look one piece further ahead, turning information itself into something you have to decide whether it's worth the cost.

Competitive Puzzle Duels Online matches run three minutes. Both players work through the identical piece sequence, so nobody wins on luckier pieces. What decides the match is how each of you reads the board, manages space, and sets up (or gives up) future clears from the same opportunities.

Think Beyond the Current Piece Every piece is a small decision with a longer shadow. Take the easy clear now, or hold the space for an awkward shape you know is coming? Line up an intersection that clears a row and a column at once, or play it safe? Push the board for a bigger score, or spend a Sneak Peek to know what you're actually walking into? The controls stay simple. What you build on the board won't.

Practice Against ÉSÉ ÉSÉ is DROPO's built-in opponent, running locally and adapting to how you play within limits that keep her honest. She weighs legal placements, scoring chances, open space and future risk the same way a player would, and she never looks at pieces a human opponent couldn't also see. Pick her mode to practice at your pace or push against something closer to a real competitive match.

Install instructions

Installing DROPO

  1. Download the file below and install it like any other Android app.
  2. On first launch, you'll be asked to select an age group. This determines what you can access: older players can join public matchmaking or private matches with friends, while younger players are limited to offline play against ÉSÉ. Players in the youngest age band play entirely offline with no account.
  3. You can jump straight into offline practice against ÉSÉ without creating an account. To play online, either in public matchmaking or private matches with friends, you'll need to create an account with your email.

DROPO is still in active development, so expect some rough edges.
