Bubble Fish is a browser-based arcade game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. The core of it is shooting and bubble shooter. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About Bubble Fish
Tap and drag the angle to aim, release to shoot. Connect 3 or more fish or starfish of the same color and type, vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Use your points in the shop to buy special items and improve your score. To clear one level and unlock the next, you need 2 stars or more. You earn stars and bonus points when you clear levels fast.
How to play Bubble Fish
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
