The Bubble Shooter playbook

Take a closer look while playing

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

Aim for this result

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Making selections and moves

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

Work through an example

Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

Notice this detail

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
