Bubble Up is a browser-based puzzle game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. It leans on shooting, music & rhythm and bubble shooter, so expect something that rewards a bit of practice. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Bubble Up
Your goal in this game is to destroy balls that are the same color and clear rows. Throughout the game, you’ll come across numerous items known as boosters that will help you progress through the levels. The bomb, rocket, rainbow, and lightning boosters all fall within this category. As you go through the game, the ball arrangement becomes more complicated, and the number and distribution of the same colored balls increase. In some levels, you also need to collect a set amount of gems rather than bursting the balls. Bubble Shooter uses cheerful colors and rhythmic music to make it enjoyable for players of all ages.
How to play Bubble Up
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

Why it is worth playing
