Punk Punk Drop – Who Can Get The Top Score?

Hello arcade lovers! If your Jumpee likes competing for the high scores or collecting more coins, then head over to the arcade and test your skills at our brand new arcade game in its new location at the Boardwalk! Punk Punk Drop is the perfect way to have fun and earn coins at the same time!

Punk Punk Drop is a fun and easy matching game! Move the punk punks around to get three of the same kind lined up! They go away, new ones drop in, and you earn points! Get four of a kind and you’ll get a bomb for an explosion of points! Five of a kind earns you a clock, get the clock to the bottom of the grid and earn some extra time. If you can get two sets of three at the same time, you might just get a special treat to swirl away your least favorite punk punks! Everytime you get rid of some punk punks, you earn points. Get as many points as you can in two minutes and earn coins! How many can you get?

What do you think of the new game? What’s your top score? Let us know!
