How to play Bubble Shooter

A focus for your next round

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.

The objective of a round

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The order of play

  1. Aim and fire.
  2. Attach bubbles to the cluster.
  3. Groups of three or more equal colours disappear.
  4. Floating groups drop; five misses lower the ceiling.

The controls to know

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See the idea in action

Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

A mistake to avoid

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
