Bubble Pop: a bubble shooter under the sea

Bubble Pop is a bubble shooter set on a coral reef: you fire bubbles from a shell and pop groups of three or more of the same color. Bubbles left hanging when you cut their support fall away for bonus points. There are 100 levels across five reef worlds, each with its own goal and shot limit.

How to play

Drag up from the shell and let go to shoot, or move the mouse and click; the dotted line shows the path, including the first bounce off a wall.
Hit a group of the same color so that three or more touch, and they pop.
Tap the waiting bubble beside the shell, or press S, to swap it with the one you are aiming.
Complete the level goal: clear every bubble, free the trapped critters or reach a target score, within the shot limit.
Pop something regularly; after a few shots that pop nothing the ceiling drops a row, and bubbles crossing the line end the level.

What it exercises

A bubble pop game looks relaxed, yet each shot is a small geometry problem.

Judging angles
Bank shots off the side walls let you reach bubbles hidden behind others, and you learn to picture the bounce before you shoot.
Planning ahead
With the next bubble visible and a swap always available, the best players think two shots ahead and save colors for later.
Steady attention
Bombs, stones, rainbow pearls and a sixth color arrive world by world, so you keep scanning the board for new threats and chances.

Tips

Aim for the bubbles that hold a cluster up. A drop clears far more than a pop and scores big bonus points.
Each color also carries its own symbol, which helps when two shades look alike.
Every level gives three free helpers: an aim extender that shows the whole path for 5 shots, a color swap you can use twice, and one fireball that burns straight through.
Land a bubble next to an urchin bomb in the Kelp Forest and it blasts everything around it.
Stone bubbles never pop. Cut away whatever holds them and they fall.
Levels ending in 9 are hard and levels ending in 0 are easy breathers, so plan your sessions around them.
