17 Number Pop Achievements: From Legend Pop to a 7-Day Streak
"What should I aim for today?" We wanted one more reason to open Number Pop every day, so v0.9.5 adds 17 achievements. Check them anytime on the 🏅 achievement card on the home screen; when you unlock one, a popcorn-burst celebration card appears as soon as the game ends. Like your other records, they are stored only on your device.
Score Challenge achievements
| Achievement | How to unlock |
|---|---|
| 3,000 · 10,000 · 20,000 points | Final Score Challenge score |
| Legend Pop | Reach level 10 in Progressive |
| Combo 30 · Combo 50 | Best combo in one game |
| Five-tile pro | Ten 5-tile links in one game |
| Triple fever | Trigger Popcorn Fever 3 times in one game |
Tip: 20,000 points and Legend Pop are for experienced players. Mistakes break your combo, so a steady rhythm of linking within 3.8 seconds beats rushing. Popcorn Fever triggers every 25 tiles, so frequent links, even short ones, help.
Popbot Duel achievements
| Achievement | How to unlock |
|---|---|
| Practice win · Challenge win · Expert win | First win against each bot |
| Marathon win | Win a 1500-point duel |
Tip: Against the Expert bot, the 3-second speed bonus (+10) and catch-up turns (double points when you trail by 100+) are key. See the Popbot Duel guide for more.
Daily Challenge achievements
| Achievement | How to unlock |
|---|---|
| Daily finish | Complete 20 links |
| Daily 1000 | Score 1,000 in the Daily Challenge |
| 3-day streak · 7-day streak | Daily streak |
Tip: Reaching 1,000 means making every link 4 tiles long, or mixing in about eight 5-tile links. There is no clock, so scan the board until you spot a 5-tile path.
🎁 Achievement rewards and Customize (v0.9.7)
Every achievement now grants a title, and 16 of the 17 also unlock a cosmetic. New rewards are equipped the moment you earn them, and you can swap or remove them anytime in the new Customize menu on the home screen (also reachable from the achievement list).
| Type | Reward | Unlocked by |
|---|---|---|
| Tile flavor | Caramel, chocolate, cheese popcorn | 3,000 / 10,000 / 20,000 points |
| Tile flavor | Rainbow legend popcorn | Legend Pop (level 10) |
| Pop effect | Star pop, flame trail | Combo 30, combo 50 |
| Pop effect | Five-link blast, popcorn rain | Five-tile pro, triple Popcorn Fever |
| Popbot outfit | Paper popcorn hat, bow tie, crown, champion cape | Popbot Duel win achievements |
| Background | Morning snack bar, night cinema, sunset sky, golden popcorn machine | Daily Challenge achievements |
Your title and Popbot outfit also appear on the share card, so your bragging rights travel with your score. Cosmetics only change the look: scoring and rules are exactly the same. Your picks stay on this device like your other records, and if you unlocked achievements earlier, their rewards are already waiting (your look only changes when you choose).
Unlocks pop like popcorn
When you unlock an achievement, a 🏅 medal card bursts onto the result screen with a shower of popcorn, a sound effect and a buzz (if vibration is on in Settings). Unlock several in one game and they appear one at a time, numbered like 1 / 2. Each card closes on its own after 3 seconds, or tap to skip. With reduced motion turned on, the card appears quietly without animation.
The home screen button has grown into an achievement card, too. It shows how many you have unlocked, a progress bar and your next goal, so you can pick today's target at a glance. Collect all 17 and it greets you as legendary popcorn.
A faster home screen
We also cut the size of the logo, mascot and Popbot images on the home screen by about 70% with no visible quality loss. First-visit image downloads dropped from about 2.9 MB to 0.85 MB, so the game opens much faster on mobile data.
