Making your first moves in Bubble Shooter

Practice with a purpose

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Making your moves

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Learn from a sample situation

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. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
