Celebrating Popcorn

Celebrating Popcorn is a Google Doodle commemorating the largest popcorn machine ever created. Unlike many other Google Doodles, this game is an online multiplayer experience where the player competes in a survival game directly against other users. As a single kernel in a popcorn machine, the player's goal is to avoid being popped and become popcorn. They must run around the arena avoiding bubbles of "oil" that radiate out from the center. The player may choose from various power-ups that will assist them in surviving, like a shield that can block the oil. Gameplay continues round after round until a single winner is left standing.
