Bubble Popper Rules
Aim and pop bubbles
Bubble Popper plays like the classic bubble shooter games many of us loved in the early 2000s. Aim carefully, bounce shots off the walls, and match 3 or more bubbles of the same color to pop them.
Clear hanging bubbles
Look for bubbles that are holding up a larger group. When you pop the right match, every loose bubble below it falls away. Big drops are the best way to clear the board and chase a faster time.
Keep the ceiling up
The dark bubble beside your shooter shows how many dud shots you have left. A dud is any shot that lands without popping a group. Each dud takes 1 from the counter. When the counter reaches 0, the ceiling drops, the bubbles move lower, a new row appears at the top, and the counter resets.
Ceiling drop chart
The game starts with 6 colors and 4 duds. Making a match avoids a dud for that shot, but it does not refill the counter. The counter is based on how many colors are still on the board. With 4, 5, or 6 colors left, it resets to 4. With 3 colors it resets to 3, with 2 colors it resets to 2, and with 1 color it resets to 1.
| Colors left on the board |
Counter after reset |
Ceiling drops after |
| 6 | 4 | 4 duds |
| 5 | 4 | 4 duds |
| 4 | 4 | 4 duds |
| 3 | 3 | 3 duds |
| 2 | 2 | 2 duds |
| 1 | 1 | 1 dud |
Bubble colors
Bubble Popper uses these 6 colors. New rows only use colors that are still on the board, but the current and next bubbles keep their colors once they appear.
