How to play

  • Drag to aim and release to shoot. Bubbles bounce off the side walls and stick where they hit another bubble or the top.
  • Three or more connected bubbles of the same color pop, and any bubbles no longer attached to the top fall with them for extra points.
  • The launcher holds the current and next bubbles; tap to swap them. You only get colors that are still on the board.
  • In Level mode, pop every bubble to clear the level. In Endless mode, new rows keep pushing in, so score as much as you can. The game ends when a bubble crosses the bottom line.
  • Difficulty sets the number of colors: Easy 4, Normal 5, Hard 6. This device keeps your best score for each mode and difficulty. Undo isn't available in this game.

Worked examples and tips

When two red bubbles in the top row hold up a long string of other colors, shoot a red next to them first. The three reds pop and the whole string below loses its support and falls. Each dropped bubble scores 20 points, far more than the 30 for popping just three.

Detailed rules and controls

Controls
  • Touch: press the play area and drag to aim; a dotted line shows the path, including the stretch after the first wall bounce. Release to shoot, or drag below the launcher and release to cancel.
  • Mouse: move to aim and click to shoot. Click the bubble on the launcher or the "Swap" button to swap the current and next bubbles.
  • Keyboard: ← → aim (hold Shift for fine control), ↑, Space or Enter shoots, ↓ or X swaps.
  • Each bubble color carries its own symbol (heart, star, triangle, diamond, square, cross), so you can tell them apart without relying on color.
Scoring
  • Each popped bubble scores 10 points, and each dropped bubble scores 20.
  • Consecutive shots that pop bubbles multiply your score: ×2 on the 2nd shot, ×3 on the 3rd, up to ×5. A shot that pops nothing resets the combo.
  • Clearing the board earns a 1000-point bonus. In Endless mode, new bubbles then refill the board and play continues.
Ceiling drop
  • Level: when shots in a row without a pop reach the limit (Easy 6, Normal 5, Hard 4), the ceiling drops one row. Any pop resets the count.
  • Endless: pop or not, a new row pushes in every few shots (Easy 8, Normal 7, Hard 6). Every 10 rows pushed in, the interval shrinks by one shot, down to a minimum of 3.
  • The game ends when a bubble crosses the dotted line at the bottom. A flashing line means bubbles are only two rows away from it.
