Bubble Shooter

Each level sets a number of shots — six on most boards, more on gentler ones — and the HUD counts them down. When the counter hits zero the entire ceiling descends one row, carrying every bubble with it, and the counter resets. If any bubble is pushed past the line above your launcher, the level ends. Efficient shots that pop or drop groups are how you stay ahead of it.

Bubbles only stay on the board while they are connected — directly or through neighbours — to the ceiling. When your pop removes the last link in that chain, everything below it detaches and falls. These drops score much more than pops, with the bonus growing steeply for bigger clusters, so the best players hunt for the few "anchor" bubbles holding up large formations.

A fired bubble reflects off the left and right walls at the same angle it hits, so you can reach pockets that are blocked from straight ahead. With the aim guide on, the dotted line simulates the full path including bounces, which makes it a good way to learn the angles; turn the guide off later for a purer, old-school arcade challenge.

The launcher shows your current bubble and the next one in the queue. Swap (the up-arrow key on desktop, or the swap button on touch) exchanges them before you fire, at no cost. Use it when the current colour has no good target — a wasted shot still counts against the ceiling-drop counter, so swapping is almost always better than firing a bubble that just sticks.

Levels unlock one at a time as you clear them, but every level you have reached stays unlocked in the level picker, so you can jump back to any earlier board to chase a higher score.
