Overview

Tootsie POP is a 2D Match-3 game created in partnership with Tootsie Inc. My studio licensed the Tootsie Pop brand to create a colorful and nostalgic match-3 experience. We launched the game with 120 main levels and have been building on it ever since. We've now made a total of 250 levels. The timeline for development of the initial title launch on iOS and Android was 5 months. Since then the team has launched 6 content updates.
