Bubble Shooter

About Bubble Shooter

Bubble Shooter is a relaxing yet strategic bubble-popping game with no time pressure. Featuring a nostalgic arcade-style interface and satisfying sound effects, you control an arrow shooter at the bottom of the playfield to blast clusters of matching bubbles and earn points. The goal is simple: clear the board by forming groups of three or more same-colored bubbles.

How It Works

• Match & Pop: Fire bubbles from your shooter to connect with two or more bubbles of the same color, creating a cluster of at least three. When matched, all bubbles in the cluster burst with an explosive effect.
• Score Big: Chain large matching clusters for maximum points. Trigger avalanches by popping clusters that cause unmatched bubbles to fall—you earn 10x the standard points. Clear the entire playfield for a 2x score multiplier.
• Strategic Aiming: Use the preview of your next bubble in the lower-left corner to plan shots. The five silver-gray bubbles act as a pass system—each miss costs one pass. After five misses, new rows drop from the top.

Game Interface

The game displays nine rows of 153 colorful bubbles on a lavender playfield, resembling glossy paint drops. Your shooter sits at the bottom center with a purple pointer arrow. A strategic preview shows the next bubble, and five silver-gray pass bubbles sit between the preview and the shooter. Your skill level (starting as Novice) appears on the right, and your score updates above in white numbers on blue bubbles. Bubble-shaped buttons in the upper-right let you mute sound, restart, or view high scores.

Key Features

• No Time Limit: Take your time to plan the perfect shot—no rush, no stress.
• Classic Arcade Feel: Retro interface and satisfying pop effects for a nostalgic experience.
• Progressive Difficulty: Start as a Novice and unlock higher difficulty levels as your score grows.
• Avalanche Bonuses: Earn 10x points when unmatched bubbles cascade down with your cluster.
• Clear Bonus: Double your score when you empty the entire playfield.
• Pass System: Five free passes per round—use angled wall shots when no direct matches exist to avoid wasting them.

How to Play

1. Check Your Bubbles: Look at your current projectile and the next one in the preview.
2. Scan the Board: Find two or more connected bubbles at the bottom that match your projectile.
3. Aim Precisely: Move your cursor to align the arrow with your target cluster.
4. Fire: Click to shoot. Bubbles in clusters of three or more will pop.
5. Plan Ahead: If no cluster is possible, aim at a single matching bubble to set up future shots.
6. Clear the Field: Remove all bubbles to win and double your score.

Pro Tips

• Create Clusters Above Unmatched Bubbles: Avalanches clear the board faster and award bonus points.
• Use Wall Bounces: When no low-row matches exist, aim at the left or right wall so the bubble bounces toward matching bubbles.
• Avoid Rolling Shots: When new rows are about to drop, be careful—bubbles may roll and change positions. Place your cursor slightly left or right of the target to compensate.
• Limit Pass Usage: Conserve your five silver-gray passes by always planning at least two shots ahead.

Controls

• Mouse: Click bubble buttons for options. Move the cursor to aim the arrow, then left-click to shoot.
• Mobile: Tap buttons. Swipe to aim, tap to shoot.
