Gameplay Overview

In Plushie Panic, you control a launcher to match colored capsules, rescue plushies, and answer questions to progress through levels.

Desktop Controls

Move Launcher: Use the left and right arrow keys or A and D to position the launcher.

Launch Capsule: Press the spacebar, W, Up arrow, or left-click with the mouse.

Mobile Controls

Move Launcher: Use the on-screen controls to position the launcher.

Launch Capsule: Tap the Shoot button on the screen.

Bonus Tip: You can also pause the game at any time by pressing the P key

Matching Capsules

• Aim and launch capsules to match groups of three or more of the same color.
• Matching capsules will score points and cause them to fall.

Rescuing Plushies

• Shoot the falling capsules to rescue plushies by releasing them from their capsules!
• Your remaining Plushies To Rescue are displayed at the top of the screen.
• Be careful! If a falling capsule hits your launcher, the descending capsules will lower.

Note: Rescuing plusines (shooting them as they fall) is the only way to progress to the next level.

Advancing Levels

• Rescue enough plushies and you’ll advance to the next level.
• As levels progress, new capsule colors and power-ups are introduced and the game gets a bit more chaotic (in the best way).

Answering Questions

• When your energy is fully depleted and no capsules are actively falling, you'll be prompted with questions from the selected question set.
• Answer questions correctly to continue playing and achieve higher scores.

Note: You might see 1, 2, or 3 questions at a time depending on your playing style. (This is to keep the play time to question ratio consistent without abruptly interrupting the game.)

Power-Ups

During gameplay, special power-up capsules may appear, offering advantages such as:

	Any Color / Wildcard Can create multiple colored series at once. If no series of 3 or more is made, it has no effect.
	Drop Row Drops up to 5 capsules from one row.
	Drop Area Drops all capsules up to 2 spots away in all directions.
	Free Row Immediately releases up to 5 plushies from one row.
	Free Area Immediately releases all plushies up to 2 spots away in all directions.

Empty Capsules Empty capsules will appear when your energy is empty and a question is ready. Unlike colored capsules, they will not stick to the descending capsule cluster, but they can still hit falling capsules.

Levels & Scoring

Levels: There are a total of 12 levels of increasing difficulty. Complete all levels to win!

Scoring— Your score will increase these ways:

1. Making a series (match of 3+). The more capsules in the chain, the higher the points.
2. Shooting all of the falling capsules from a falling group will give you the most points (increasing with each capsule you shoot).
3. The point rewards for rescuing plushies increase as you ascend levels.

Lives and Game Over

Losing Lives: Allowing the capsule cluster to reach the bottom of the screen will cost you a life. If you have lives remaining, the level will reset giving you another attempt.

Game Over: The game ends when all lives are lost. Aim to achieve the highest score possible before all lives are lost!
