- Each of the other bubble types costs 1,000 coins.
- When you buy a bubble option upgrade it changes the theme of all the bubbles to the new bubble category.
- You can equip any of the unlocked skins any time you beat a level.
- You can only play one skin at a time, and all skins play the same other than aesthetic. It is recommended to save most of your coins for the power ups and purchase at most one skin.
- Strategy tips
- The level timer does not count down until after you select a piece.
- Wait until the bubbles settle and map out some of your strategy for the level before clicking on any.
- Try to make matches further down near the bottom of the level first as bubbles fill upward. If you make matches near the top early that may misalign some of the bubbles lower down the screen.
- Use other bubble types
- You can make star matches or create bombs & wildcard lasers with bubbles that are not part of the level goal so that you can move them out of the way.
- If you have a lot of time left and less than a 3-star rating you can use the remaining time to match other bubble types.
- Power bubbles are created at the end of strings of bubbles where the final bubble of the set was created, so select bubbles in the correct order to place the power bubble where you like it.
- As you get further into the game beating levels within a minute without using power ups gets quite challenging, so be willing to use multiple power ups on a single level if you get stuck.
- If you play a level & use power ups but fail you do not get those power ups back, so make sure if you use any that you use enough to guarantee victory.
- If you are on a level which has frozen pieces try to get rid of those immediately, as that will open up the playing field to make it easier to make other matches.
- Each time you play a level the arrangement of bubbles in the level is randomly changed. If you get a bad set or star off poorly you can pause the game and click on the restart level button to play it again.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for players who like item matching games.
- The game has no adult themed content.
