Join Bubble Friends on an exciting adventure! Don't delay, the adorable animal buddies are eager to join you!

Bubble Friends is a captivating bubble shooter game packed with numerous levels where the objective is to save the trapped cute animals by strategizing your moves wisely. Armed with a bubble shooter containing bubbles of various colors, your task is to aim and shoot groups of three or more bubbles of the same color to progress through the levels. Each level presents diverse tasks to tackle within a limited number of moves. While it may seem simple to play, do not be deceived; the game demands your focus, strategic thinking, and quick decision-making skills. As you advance through the levels, the difficulty escalates, but fret not, as vibrant ladybug boosters stand ready to assist you in cracking challenging puzzles.

Main Objective

The primary goal of the game is to shoot three or more similarly colored bubbles to make them vanish from the board. By doing so, players can:

    Score Points: Each successful shot contributes to the player's score.

    Clear the Board: The ultimate aim is to eliminate all existing bubbles from the board.

Gameplay Mechanics

Shooting Bubbles:

    Players must shoot accurately to match colors and clear bubbles.

    Keep an eye on the bubble stack to avoid over-piling, which can lead to losing the game.

Triggering Booster Bubbles:

    Aim to create combinations that activate booster bubbles.

    Booster bubbles have special powers that can significantly aid in gameplay.

10 Bubble Shooter Tricks

1. Create and detach hanging clusters

The goal in any Bubble Shooter game is to clear the bubbles in the puzzle. This can be achieved either by directly shooting and popping the bubbles or by cutting their connection to the puzzle. When they are no longer attached to any other bubble, they fall down and explode once they hit the bottom of the game screen. This can help you remove several rows of bubbles right away with the least amount of shots.

Detached bubbles are worth more points than popped ones. Therefore, the more you detach, the higher your score will be.

2. Increase your shooting range by aiming at the walls

When you shoot a bubble at the walls, it bounces against it and changes its course. More often than not, this trajectory change allows you to hit and pop bubbles that may be out of your reach when shooting straight.

The walls are, thus, one of the most important strategic elements in a Bubble Shooter game. Try aiming at the walls to check how the bounce would affect your shot. Pay attention to which bubbles you can reach using the bounce but not with a straight shot and try to see if it is possible to create or eliminate a group of hanging bubbles.

3. Bounce your shot between the walls

In line with the previous tip, you can also bounce your shot between the walls themselves. A double or a triple bounce of your shot changes its trajectory significantly while keeping the range low.

This trick is especially useful when you have a barrier of bubbles right in front of your weapon preventing you from aiming at bubbles in the center of the puzzle.

4. Look closely for big groups with the same color

Popping big groups is a great Bubble Shooter strategy to progress easily and quickly in the game. When several bubbles with the same color are connected, it means that one single and accurate shot can pop them all at once.

Clearing a big group usually results in a wide and clear path within the puzzle, that gives you access to the upper bubbles. When the group runs the full width of the puzzle, popping it means eliminating one or more full rows at once, cutting all the bubbles below those rows out of the puzzle.

5. Construct a clear path

Constructing a clear path is a common Bubble Shooter strategy used by experienced players. As your ammunition is limited, popping all the bubbles individually and/or by order of proximity to your weapon is not feasible. You need to make every shot count and try to pop or detach as many bubbles as possible with each shot.

Your goal should be to clear a path to reach a big bubble group with the same color or to reach the upper rows in the puzzle and try to deconstruct it from above by creating hanging groups and then detach them.

6. Clear the walls

Bouncing the bubbles on the walls allows you to pop bubbles that would otherwise be impossible to reach with a straight shot. However, to be able to bounce your shot on the walls, you need to have access to said walls.

A good tip to succeed in a Bubble Shooter game is to clear the lateral bubbles first so that you can bounce your bubbles higher. Additionally, if you keep cleaning the sides of the puzzle, you will end up with a big group of hanging bubbles in the center, and you can easily remove several rows at once by cutting the connection of the group.

7. Switch the color of your shot

A common Bubble Shooter trick that is, surprisingly, often forgotten, is the ability to change the color of the bubble you are shooting. In all fairness, you can only switch up between your current and the following shooting bubble, but that alone can already be very helpful.

For instance, you may choose to shoot a bubble that will open a clear path first, instead of wasting a shot by shooting a bubble with no matching color in your range.

8. Avoid stacking

Switching up your current shooting bubble with the following one is a useful Bubble Shooter trick, but it can fall short sometimes. One of the challenging aspects of Bubble Shooter is that you do not always get to shoot the color you need or want. Again, this is one of the reasons why Bubble Shooter strategies are important and why popping all the bubbles in order is not feasible - you are bound to run out of ammunition if you try it.

This means that at some point you may find yourself “wasting” ammunition while waiting for the right color. When facing such a predicament the best strategy to follow is to spread your shots along the puzzle’s width and avoid stacking them.

Stacking can be a bad idea for two reasons. The first is that you will lose if your puzzle touches the bottom bar where your weapon is located. Stacking will create a long “stalactite” pointing directly at such a bar. One slip of your finger and you might fail your next shot and end up losing the game.

The second reason is that stacking creates a vertical bubble wall in the puzzle. Depending on where this wall is located, it may block important bubbles or turn the bouncing walls useless.

9. Create easily detachable groups

As mentioned in the previous Bubble Shooter tip, you should spread “unwanted” bubbles along the puzzle to avoid stacking them. However, you can also be smart about these bubbles and turn them into profitable assets to increase your scoring.

The trick is to place them over a wide group of bubbles with the same color or, at least, make sure they are located in between two bubbles with the same color. In both cases, it means that you only need one more bubble to pop that group or pair. And once you pop them, the “unwanted” bubble(s) you attached to them will fall down and award you more points.

10. Be quick or be patient

Bubble Shooter online games can have one of two challenging features. Either time is a constraint and the ceiling of the puzzle falls down as the clock ticks, or you have a limited amount of ammunition to shoot and you must plan your shots carefully to avoid running out of shooting balls and losing.

Depending on the Bubble Shooter game you choose to play, you either need to be quick and pop the bubbles before the ceiling descends, or be patient and think carefully before you shoot.

Types of Booster Bubbles

Color Change: Some booster bubbles can change the color of surrounding bubbles, making it easier to create matches.

Row Elimination: Others can wipe out entire rows of bubbles, providing a strategic advantage and clearing space on the board.

How to play the game:

When you first open the game, you'll be brought to the main menu screen. From here, you're given the option to start playing the game immediately or you can access other menu options such as Settings, Level Selector, and Info.

When you select Play, you'll be directed to the first level of the game. To start playing, tap on the first bubble located at the bottom of the screen, and aim it towards the bubbles on the board.

As you play, you'll notice that the bubbles at the top of the screen will start to descend closer to the bottom. This is called the bubble stack. If the bubble stack reaches the bottom of the screen, then it's game over.

Your objective is to shoot three or more bubbles of the same color together to clear them from the board. The more bubbles you clear at once, the more points you'll score.

When you clear all the bubbles on the board, you'll move on to the next level.

Some of the boosters in the game:

1. Rainbow Booster: This booster can convert any bubble on the board to any color the player wants.

2. Bomb Booster: It explodes bubbles in its surrounding area.

3. Fireball Booster: It clears rows of bubbles in its path.

As you progress to higher levels, you'll face increasingly complex and challenging bubbles that make gameplay more difficult.

Players must make sure to utilize their boosters efficiently to maximize their potential effect. Players must also consider the number of bubbles left in their bubble dock to ensure that they have enough to complete each level.

    I play this game every now and then. It's cute and fun, but it doesn't open easily. So, I wouldn't say it's worth the hassle for me.

    I'm giving it 1 star. There are a few reasons, but the most irritating is getting stuck in ads. You have to wait and then keep trying to get out of them. It's too much trouble to open and close the game repeatedly, so I'm uninstalling it.

    The game looks really bad and makes me confused. It's slow and also confusing overall. Sometimes, when you finish a level, you're forced to watch a useless ad for 30 seconds. It's not enjoyable to play. Maybe it's more suitable for kids?

    You don't like how the app is advertised. It shouldn't just show up on your phone with the icon and ad video when you didn't even install it. It's a bit suspicious that the app is being promoted by downloading everything to the internal files of your phone so that you can't see them in Google Photos. It's not cool!

    You know that game? You finish a level, but the next time you play, it takes you back to that same level. It keeps crashing, and you might lose all your lives without even starting a new game.

    Downloaded a game, but it wouldn't load so I had to delete it. It's a shame. Gotta make sure the games will work next time.
