An introduction to playing Bubble Shooter
Choose a round of Bubble Shooter and settle into its rules. Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Original hexagonal matching board and bouncing projectiles.
One thing to notice as you play
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The steps to play
- Aim and fire.
- Attach bubbles to the cluster.
- Groups of three or more equal colours disappear.
- Floating groups drop; five misses lower the ceiling.
Keyboard and screen controls
Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Contact with a different colour is not a match. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
