As far as mobile games go, Lollipop 3 ticks all the right boxes. It's easy to start playing, it won't take long to get hooked, and it keeps you coming back for more. You catch and hatch eggs as they fall from above, trying to avoid the "meanies" that will try to smash your eggs, and trying not to drop any into the bargain. Each time you smash an egg, a small cute creature is freed, and the longer you continue, the faster the eggs come. There are power-ups to make it easier to cope, from nests that catch eggs and hold them for you, to extra lives to refill your egg box, to snowflakes that freeze them in place and rainbows that smash everything they come in contact with. There is a set of goals that you can meet (hatching 150 eggs, holding three at the same time, racking up a set number of points), which will help you unlock the Lollipop of Eternal Joy. It's all a bit kooky and kitsch, but great fun.
