Bubble Shooter: rules and examples
Bubble Shooter gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.
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. The example below illustrates a decision.
The playing sequence
- Aim and fire.
- Attach bubbles to the cluster.
- Groups of three or more equal colours disappear.
- Floating groups drop; five misses lower the ceiling.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
One way to understand the rules
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
A useful caution
Contact with a different colour is not a match. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
