Bubble Shooter: learn through an example
Start Bubble Shooter by looking at the playing area and its controls. Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Original hexagonal matching board and bouncing projectiles.
Something to practise
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- Aim and fire.
- Attach bubbles to the cluster.
- Groups of three or more equal colours disappear.
- Floating groups drop; five misses lower the ceiling.
Making selections and moves
Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. Use the control method described here for this activity. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A closer look at one example
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Pay attention to this rule
Contact with a different colour is not a match. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
