The Idolmaster: Poplinks

About

The Idolmaster: Poplinks is a puzzle game where you line up three or more matching icons to generate music and earn points. Each idol group from the series appears as distinct characters you can collect and assign to teams. Gameplay revolves around timed matches that test pattern recognition and quick reflexes. Progress unlocks new stages and customization options for your idol squads. The game pulls in all five main idol factions from the franchise, giving fans a reason to engage with each one. While the core mechanics stick to standard match-three tropes, the character designs and rhythm-based scoring system add variety. Over 200,000 players tried the 2020 beta across three days, according to publisher reports. Now available on both major mobile platforms since 2021.
