What Makes Kernel King Stand Out
Tap to make popcorn!
In this super simple yet insanely addicting game you'll be making more popcorn than you'll know what to do with. Tap to make popcorn in a meeting, during class, on the bus, waiting in line. Once you start popping you won't be able to stop. Your friends and family start to worry about when they haven't seen you in days. You are up to your eyes in popcorn. You begin to dream in popcorn. You only take breaks from popping popcorn to eat popcorn. There is only one goal. Become the Kernel King.
Kernel King features:
-Simple game mechanics – Tap to make popcorn
-Investments to pop even faster – Once you start popping you'll be hard to stop
-Upgrade your popper – Earn more kernels per second
-Upgrade your recipe – Earn more kernels per click
-Upgrade your status – Earn more kernels while you're not popping
-Buy a bucket to collect popcorn while you're eating popcorn – Most have figured out how to eat and pop at the same time so you run the risk of falling behind with this tactic
-Over 10 different poppers to unlock – Collect them all and show off to your friends
-Game Center – Know exactly how close you are to being the king
-Share on Facebook and Twitter – Let your friends know how far they are behind
-Prestige and pop kernels even faster – It's harder to stay at the top than it is to get there
-Bonuses and Multipliers – Earn bonuses and multipliers to start rolling in popcorn
Everyone else has already started, but there is still hope. Download today for free and start your journey to the top.

THIS IS THE MOST GREATEST GAME EVER.
We love kernel king without a doubt the only thing is it's a little addicting. But other wise perfect. It never crashes and we just love the app. We definitely recommend it so download it now what are you waiting for.
It does take long time to get kernels but its a fun addicting game.
Fun game to just tap and get popcorn! We wish real life was like this.
We would send our suggestions, but App Store reviews are laid out stupidly.
There are too many ads in the game but good game.
After a while the app brings us to the home screen gets really annoying but other than that this a great and fun app.
If you love an app that pops an add up every minute or less, then you'll love this app!! If you love watching ads for no reason, download this app now!! You'll get to watch a ton of free ads!! FREE.

This game does tire out your fingers but it is very fun and we enjoy it a lot and we're always happy when ever we level up things and it is sooooo addicting.
Someone advertising this app said once we reach 100k kernels we get a free iPhone 7, is that true.
Amazing just don't use more than one finger.
We can't put our phone down it is so fun whoever doesn't have this is missing out.

This is the best app we've ever seen and played it is great for us and our friends and family who is not authorized by email.
The fact we can get it right away with a lot more fun and addicting and we don't think that it was not immediately available to all of them in our head and a lot more fun and addicting and we don't think that it was not immediately available to all of them in our head and a lot more fun and we don't know how much you love you so much better if it is not an issue of whether it was not a fan since day and night with a new phone case you want us too we don't think that we have a great way of saying it would mean so so happy to see our tweets and you have a great way of saying it would mean so so happy to see our tweets and you have a good time with you guys have to go back and we have a good time with you guys have to go back and we don't know how much you love you so much better if it is not an issue of whether it was not a fan since day and night with a new phone case you want us too we don't think that we can get it right away with a lot more fun and we don't think we have a great day to day basis for our phone and it is a good time to go back and we don't think we have a good day for a few years back and we have to be able too many times you can do is go home to our house and we don't know how to get it right.
Ya we guess it's ok but it's cheesy.
This is so addicting we give it a 5.
Nice game fun to pass time if you're really bored.
We LOVE THIS APP! THIS APP IS REALLY ADDICTIVE AND we JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT! We TOTALLY RECOMMEND TRYING O IS GREAT APP.
We love how u can win a iPhone 7.
Further details on how much you love it and it was the best of the year and we don't think that we have a great way of the day before we get a penis.
We've played for a while and we love it :D.
We play this game in class when we get bored.
It's expensive and hard to upgrade. Over all it's a great game.
Its pretty fun but just a standard clicker.
The investments need to have levels with multipliers so the game gets easier as time goes on.
Ok everything is worth a lot though.
