We’ve collected some Poppit tips already, but we’d love your input too. Please share your own tips for ranking up (especially now that the glitch is gone!), and/or completing these badges easier and faster in a comment below.

March 15, 2011 at 9:46 pmAs anyone that’s been on BH for any lenght of time knows, this is my LEAST favorite game on Pogo. But I can clear the board on a regular basis.
I start at the bottom and go across evenly, when possible. I don’t try to clear the board, just try to drop all the prizes for the win.
Most of you know that the balloons with the star have the power ups.
If you are trying to clear the board it is best to hit new game until you get both power up balloons. And it’s usually best to not use the power ups until the end of the game.

March 15, 2011 at 10:39 pmI always pop from the bottom up too and pop all the horizontal matches first. I let the vertical keep going up so they can catch ‘strays’ along the way. Yes moms, my least favorite too..lol.

March 16, 2011 at 8:29 pmFirst of all, like has already been said, pop from the bottom up. Believe it or not, it makes it much easier to get to the top prizes because they have fewer balloons to fall through.
I start from the bottom left and work my way across, and that clears most balloons, but i have also started from the right and worked across and have won, so to each his/her own.
Star balloons hold power ups. It seems to be best to save them for the end of the game.
If you are trying to pop them all, try to make sure you have both power ups in the puzzle before you try. and hit new game until you see larger groups of balloons that are the same color and small groups of balloons scattered between them…if you eliminate the smaller groups, it clears the screen a lot better. however, i find that if i focus too much on popping them all, it becomes very hard to do. i have better luck just popping away.
Use your undo when you first see you didnt drop all the prizes in that particular column…its much easier to use it early as you go through the puzzle than later or at the end. When you undo all the way back to the beginning, you tend to drop the prize you missed at first, but end up with another one that will no longer drop.
As to super pops, they give you more points, but more often than not they mess up your ability to drop a prize or two along the way. I find i have to break up a super pop, at least partially, to drop prizes, so i tend to not immediately click on my super pops and get rid of them right off.
This is the third game on pogo that i ranked out in and i still love it in small doses. Now im working on poppit show cuz there is nothing left for me to do in poppit on pogo….lol
