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.
