A practical guide to Bubble Shooter
Start Bubble Shooter by looking at the playing area and its controls. Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Original hexagonal matching board and bouncing projectiles.
Build familiarity through play
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
What you need to achieve
Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
The order of 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.
Controls
Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A closer look at one example
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
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.
