About the game
Bubble Shooter is an aiming puzzle: fire colored bubbles from the bottom to match three or more of the same color, popping them and clearing the field.
How to play
Aim and shoot a bubble upward; when it touches two or more same-colored bubbles, they pop. Clear all bubbles to win, or at least keep them from reaching the bottom.
Tips & strategy
['Bank shots off the side walls to reach awkward spots.', 'Pop from the bottom of a cluster to drop everything above.', 'Save rare colors for when you truly need them.']
Advanced guide
Bubble Shooter is about cutting supports. Aim to detach the bubbles at the base of a large hanging mass so the whole group falls, scoring far more than popping piecemeal. Use wall banks to reach colors tucked in corners, and never waste a rare color on a lone bubble.
History & origins
Bubble Shooter grew from the 1994 arcade title Puzzle Bobble into a casual mainstay.
