Bubble shooter drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It leans on shooting, puzzle and bubble shooter, so expect short rounds you can repeat. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.

About Bubble shooter

Bubble Shooter is an HTML5 clone of the famous "Puzzle Bobble". The goal of the game is to clear all the bubbles from the level avoiding any bubble crossing the bottom line.

How to play Bubble shooter

Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing

Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Bubble shooter does not — it is playable from the first second. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
