Bubble Shooter: learn through an example

One thing to notice as you play

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

The objective of a round

Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.

The steps to play

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

Learn from a sample situation

Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Contact with a different colour is not a match. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
