The Bubble Shooter playbook

Choose a round of Bubble Shooter and settle into its rules. Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.

How to use the controls

Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

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.

Contact with a different colour is not a match. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
