About Bubble Shooter
Bubble Shooter is a colour-matching arcade puzzle. The top of the screen is packed with rows of coloured bubbles, and you have a launcher at the bottom. Each shot sends one bubble up, and it sticks where it touches the others. Join three or more of the same colour and the whole group pops. Any bubbles that were hanging from the popped group, with nothing else holding them up, fall away too.
Shooting games of this kind became popular in arcades in the 1990s and have been a favourite on computers and phones ever since, because the idea is simple and every shot is a small puzzle. This version is built for Gamesupa, with its own glossy look and smooth controls for touch screens.
Bubble Shooter on Gamesupa
Drag anywhere on the game to aim. A dotted line shows the exact path of your shot, including bounces off the side walls, and a faint bubble shows where it will stick. Let go to shoot. On a computer, move the mouse to aim and click, or use the left and right arrow keys and Space.
- Next bubble: the small bubble beside the launcher is the next one. Tap it, or press S, to swap it with the current one.
- Colours: new bubbles only come in colours that are still on the board, so the end of a board never gets stuck.
- New rows: after several shots in a row that pop nothing, a new row pushes down from the top. As your score grows, fewer misses are allowed.
The game ends when the bubbles reach the dotted line near the launcher. It pauses and saves itself if you switch apps, and your best score stays on your device.
Scoring
Every popped bubble scores 10 points and every bubble that falls scores 20, so dropping a big hanging cluster is worth far more than popping a small group. A single shot that removes eight or more bubbles earns a 100 point bonus, and clearing the whole board earns 1,000 and brings in a fresh board.
Quick tips
- Aim for the roots. Pop the few bubbles holding up a big cluster and the rest falls for double points.
- Use the walls. A bank shot can reach a gap that a straight shot can't.
- Check the next bubble. If the current colour has no good spot, swap it.
- Don't waste shots. Each miss brings the next row closer. Park a bubble next to its own colour so it helps later.
- Keep the middle low. The middle is the hardest part to reach once it grows long.

Bubble Shooter questions
How do I aim and shoot?
Drag your finger on the game, or move the mouse, and a dotted line shows the path. Let go, or click, to shoot. On a keyboard, the left and right arrows aim and Space shoots.
Can I bounce bubbles off the walls?
Yes. Shots bounce off the side walls, and the dotted line shows the bounce, so you can reach bubbles hidden behind others.
How does scoring work?
Each popped bubble is worth 10 points and each bubble that falls is worth 20. A big shot of eight or more adds a 100 point bonus, and clearing the whole board adds 1,000.
Why did a new row appear?
If several shots in a row pop nothing, a new row of bubbles pushes down from the top. The number of misses allowed gets smaller as your score grows.
Can I change the bubble I'm about to shoot?
Yes. Tap the small bubble beside the shooter, or press S, to swap the current and next bubbles.
Is my game saved?
Yes. The game pauses and saves when you switch apps or leave, and offers to continue when you come back. Your best score is saved on your device.
