Understand the basics of Bubble Shooter

A focus for your next round

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you need to achieve

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Input guidance

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. 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. Notice the change in the playing area.

Check this before moving on

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
