What is Bubble Shooter?
Bubble Shooter is a classic arcade puzzle game where you shoot bubbles upward to pop groups of matching colors. When three or more bubbles of the same color connect, they burst and you score points. Inspired by the classic Bust-a-Move (Puzzle Bobble) series, this game is easy to learn but rewards strategic thinking and careful aiming.
How to Play
- Move your mouse or touch the screen to aim the bubble launcher.
- Click or tap to fire a bubble in the aimed direction.
- Connect 3 or more bubbles of the same color to pop them.
- If bubbles stack below the red danger line, it's game over.
- Clear all bubbles to complete the wave!
Scoring System
- Popping connected bubbles: 10 points per bubble
- Dropping orphan bubbles (disconnected from the ceiling): 20 points per bubble
- Wave clear bonus: +500 points
What Are Orphan Bubbles?
When a group of bubbles pops, other bubbles that were only connected through that group lose their link to the ceiling. These "orphan" bubbles automatically drop and award bonus points. Setting up chain reactions that create many orphans is the key to high scores.
Wave System
Each wave you complete increases the difficulty. More bubble colors are added with each wave, starting with 3 colors and adding one more per wave up to a maximum of 6 colors (red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and orange). The number of rows also increases as waves progress.
Using Wall Bounces
Bubbles reflect off the left and right walls. Watch the dashed aim guide to plan your shot and use wall bounces to reach bubbles in tight corners. Mastering bank shots is essential for clearing tricky clusters.
