Bubble Shooter: rules and examples

Give this approach a try

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. Keep the objective visible.

What you need to achieve

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

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.

How to use the controls

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example to follow

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.

A useful caution

Contact with a different colour is not a match. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
