Popcorn Master

A physics puzzle rather than a kitchen. Kernels burst and expand, the expansion pushes everything around them, and levels are cleared by triggering the right chain rather than by aiming carefully.

Because expansion is the force, the interesting move is often the one that looks wrong — bursting a kernel at the edge to compress the middle rather than starting at the middle itself. Levels that seem impossible usually have a single opening move that unlocks them.

Calm, quiet and built to be relaxing rather than tense. Listed under baking because heat and expansion are the mechanic, but nobody should expect a recipe anywhere in it.

1. Look at how the kernels are packed.
2. Burst one and watch what the expansion pushes.
3. Chain further bursts from the space that opens.
4. Clear the level by emptying the machine.

Start at the edge, not the centre. Expansion pushes outward, and a centre burst usually wedges the remaining kernels against the walls where nothing can reach them.
