The Bubble Shooter playbook

Something to practise

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

The purpose of your moves

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The steps to play

  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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.

A closer look at one example

Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
