Understand the aim
Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
From the start of a round
- Aim and fire.
- Attach bubbles to the cluster.
- Groups of three or more equal colours disappear.
- Floating groups drop; five misses lower the ceiling.
How to use the controls
Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
An example to follow
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
Contact with a different colour is not a match. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
