Bubble Spinner game info

Bubble Spinner is now one of the many free games available on our site! Developed by DeadWhale, Bubble Spinner is a take on the classic Bubble Shooter game everyone knows and loves. Simple yet therapeutic, this game is great for children and adults alike! 

Goal

The goal of the game is to clear as many bubbles as possible from the game board while scoring as many points as possible. This is achieved through matching bubbles into groups of three or more. Grouped bubbles are popped and eliminated from the game board. However, only bubbles of the same color can be grouped together!

Gameplay

The game starts with a game board filled with 90 bubbles arranged in a hexagon shape. Bubbles come in from the top of the board and players are to shoot the bubble to try and match this with other bubbles of the same color. But don't let the connected bubbles touch the edge of the game board - the game is instantly over when this occurs!

Players are able to see the current bubble as well as the color of the bubble immediately next in line. Use the pink arrow indicator to better aim and predict where to shoot the bubble. Be careful with this as the bubbles are able to bounce off the sides of the game board! They will bounce until they come into contact with any other bubble already on the board. 

Players receive one point for every bubble popped. For example, shooting a bubble at a group of four (and so forming a group of five) will score you five points. The point score can be found towards the top of the game board on the left side of the bubble shooter. 

At the bottom of the game board, players can see the number of 'lives' they hold. This describes the number of chances players have to shoot a bubble and not have it form a group of three or more. However, a life will be taken every time you miss making a formation. 

Losing all six lives will cause the game to add a handful of bubbles to the game board, and the number of lives decreases to five before the next handful is added, and so on. Therefore, it's crucial to try and make formations with every shot you take!

There's an additional fun twist to this puzzle game - the bubbles in the game board are on a rotating platform, connected to a wheel in the center. Each shot will nudge and spin the whole arrangement, with the direction and force dependent on the shot taken. This means the whole board shifts with every shot, increasing the difficulty of the puzzle game. 

A hint for players is that if the created formation disconnects any other bubbles from the center wheel, these bubbles will also fall from the game board. These will also count towards the player's point score as a regular bubble pop. 

Controls 

Controls for the Bubble Spinner game are straightforward and easy to grasp. For aiming, moving the mouse cursor will show predictions of how the bubble will travel when released. 

When you're happy with the aim, left-click anywhere on the game board to shoot and release the bubble. 

Strategy

As with most puzzle games, there are various tactics and strategies that can help guarantee you a win. 

• Target hanging bubbles These may be difficult to get rid of on their own, especially if they are alone and mixed with other 'solo' bubbles. Instead, try and find clusters around them. These are much easier to match and the formations will disconnect the hanging bubbles when popped, allowing you to eliminate the risk quickly and clear the board.
• Set up for the next bubble Where you can't find a good match for the current bubble, have a look at what’s coming. You could use the first bubble to nudge the wheel into a better arrangement for the next shot. Planning ahead will always give you an advantage.
• Use your angles! You may find yourself in situations where a cluster is hard to reach. Take the time to gauge the angle required and use the walls to your advantage - there is no time limit or time pressure in our version, so use this wisely!
