How to Play

🎮 Basic Controls
  • Desktop: Move your mouse to aim the launcher, then click to shoot a bubble.
  • Mobile / Tablet: Tap the screen in the direction you want to shoot.
  • Wall bounce: Bubbles bounce off the left and right walls to reach tricky positions.
  • Next bubble preview: The upcoming bubble is shown beside the launcher — plan ahead!
🎯 Game Objective
Clear all the bubbles from the play field by shooting and matching groups of three or more bubbles of the same color. Bubbles that become disconnected from the ceiling fall away and reward bonus points. The game ends if any bubble crosses the danger line at the bottom.
📋 Step-by-Step Gameplay
  • A cluster of colored bubbles hangs from the top of the screen. A launcher sits at the bottom center.
  • Aim by moving your mouse or tapping the direction you want to shoot.
  • Fire the bubble — it travels until it hits another bubble or a wall.
  • If it connects with 2+ bubbles of the same color, the whole matching group pops and you score points.
  • Any floating bubbles (no longer attached to the top cluster) drop for a bonus.
  • Keep shooting until the board is clear — or a bubble crosses the danger line.
🏆 Scoring System
  • 3-bubble match: Base score for the minimum match.
  • 4+ bubble match: Bonus multiplier — bigger group = bigger reward.
  • Drop bonus: Each fallen disconnected bubble awards extra points.
  • Chain combo: Sequential pops from one shot score progressively higher.

💡 Key takeaway: Trigger drops and chain reactions — not just minimum three-bubble pops.

🌈 Bubble Colors & Special Bubbles
  • Standard (6 colors): Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange — match 3+ to pop.
  • Rainbow bubble: Wildcard — matches any color on contact.
  • Bomb bubble: Pops all bubbles in a radius when matched.
  • Ice bubble: Must be hit twice to clear.
  • Stone bubble: Cannot be color-matched — remove by dropping the bubbles above it.
⚡ Winning Strategies

1. Aim High — Popping bubbles near the top causes the largest clusters to fall.

2. Use Wall Bounces — Angled shots reach pockets that are impossible to hit directly.

3. Plan Ahead with the Preview — Know what's coming and set up your next shot before you fire.

4. Save Rainbow Bubbles — Use wildcards when no matching color is available, not before.

5. Drop Rather Than Pop — Isolating a section so it drops scores far more than individual pops.

6. Stay Calm — Rushed shots lead to misses. Take one extra second to aim properly every time.

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Shooting without a target: Every misfire adds a bubble to the cluster. Be deliberate.
  • Ignoring the preview: Not planning two shots ahead is the most common reason good players lose.
  • Only popping groups of three: Minimum matches score the least. Hold out for bigger groups.
  • Wasting bomb bubbles: Use them on dense, mixed-color clusters — not on sparse easy areas.
  • Forgetting wall bounces: The walls are tools. Use angled shots to open up unreachable spots.
