  • Aggravated fun

    I have been playing this game for guile some time. I managed to make it to level 3000+ and there were no more levels to play and waited for more levels to be added, once the new levels cam in there were certain features that were removed. Like for example say you ran out of shots you would get up to 3 additional shots to use after watching 3adds for a total 9 shots. The problem with that would be there would only be one odd color bubble and you would use up your shots and then almost be forced to buy additional bubbles. Now that option has been taken away. Some levels give you the 9 shot availability but you can’t select the 10 more shots like it once had. Now it gives you one ad maybe or gives you a message saying “sorry there are no videos to watch”. Since this update has been applied and additional levels added it’s not worth playing as much as it was in the beginning. However, some of the new features are nice it becomes more aggravating to play. Some of the bubbles change color mid shot. I guess the developers will use whatever tactics they can to spend money on the game.

    Hey there, Thank you for playing. Reward video availability depends on the strength of your Wifi/Mobile network., the existence of 3rd party ad blocker,etc. Part of the challenge is to solve the puzzle with the colors you receive. It's impossible to receive a color that is not on the board, though it may appear further ahead. Should the issue persists after verifying the above, please let us know at support@ilyon.net .

  • Fun most of the time.

    I really enjoy this game when pretty much all the time, but as someone who prides themselves on getting all 3 stars, this game can be a nightmare. Some levels require a specific order of colors to even get all three stars, and with the next color being random it becomes a game of tedium and patience. I think the random colors can be fun for some levels, but for others that you can’t improvise your way out of it is just a matter of luck. I really do want to try and get 3 stars on as many levels as possible but it just seems impossible without saving up for a bunch of extra stuff to brute force your way to 3 stars. If you just want to play some bubble shooter, classic or modern this is definitely one of the best games for it. If you don’t like waiting to get lucky enough for the game to allow you to win, then this might not be for you.

  • Update makes game less fun

    This used to be my favorite game. My game got stuck after I had won all the levels and had just gotten new ones added about a month ago. I deleted the app and reinstalled. The new version doesn’t have the same “rules” as before. Bouncing bubbles off the top now takes away from bubble count and you can no longer strategically use lasers to effect surrounding bubbles, a significant strategy prior to the update. Now the laser beam just incinerates your same color bubble with a puff of smoke. Very frustrating indeed.
    Update: bouncing from the sides no longer effects the count
    Lasers beams are still terrible and cannot be used as strategy
    Way more ads than before and stars seem to be arbitrarily assigned
    A level completed with over 20 shots remaining should not score only 2 stars but some of them do. Other levels give three stars with the first shot with many remaining it seems too random and illogical.

  • This game is addictive

    The game is challenging and fun but there are several things that are definitely misrepresented. If you buy 5 more shots you specifically say “get five shots PLUS a fireball. NOT TRUE!!! If you use the fireball you only have four shots. With your 15 coins you are buying 4 shots plus a fireball or 5 shots and no fireball!! I experience this with all 3 Bubbles games I play.

    Another thing I think is wrong is that if we earn a fireball or bubble drop on the last play, it should be available to us before the game shuts down. It was earned during the game time and should be able to be used within that game time period.

    Also, I don’t like getting bubbles over and over and over right behind each other in colors that are not even on the board. I am so frustrated when I’m down to the last ten shots and not one bubble is a color on my board.

    Hi there, Thank you for sharing your review with us. We have forwarded your experience regarding the number of shots received to our developers for additional consideration. It will be most helpful if you can provide us with additional information regarding the exact scenario at support@ilyon.net Regarding the "Bubble Drop", please note that each booster you gain during a certain level is unique and associated with the level itself, as this is part of the challenge. Lastly, part of the challenge is to solve the puzzle with the colors you receive. It's impossible to receive a color that is not on the board, though it may appear further ahead. If you tried everything and still cannot solve the level, send us an email to support@ilyon.net and we will do our best to help. :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Support.
  • Good time waster, feels too hard sometimes

    I have been playing this game for about a year now. It started out as a time waster for travel, but has become far more frustrating than it is worth to attempt that challenge. Not to mention it’s worth literally nothing to get 3/3 stars on a level. I don’t know if the ball bouncing off the grey line at the top was always around but it make the game much harder. I also feel like some levels it’s near impossible to get three stars even if you max out your power ups. Unless you want to put down some mad cash. I also feel that the game plots against you. I will be around 100 points from 3 stars with 10 bubbles left and a simple red will give me the win but instead it gives you every single color but the one I need. It’s even drawn 5 of the same color in a row which is BS. Also, the levels change each time you reset the level! What is the point of being a level if it changes every time you load it. This game is definitely fun and overly challenging at times. Do yourself a favor and avoid the challenge of getting three stars.

  • Impossible after new update?

    I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence but it seems the game has gotten much harder after the latest couple of updates. I’m stuck on level 1582, so I decided to update the app to see if it was a bug. No luck with 1582 after the update so I tried dozens of older levels and they’re also much more difficult than they used to be. Many of the levels leading up to 1582 (like in the 1570s) were also extremely hard and not very fun. I had to buy several power-ups/extra moves to get through the last 10 or so levels, when normally I could get through the levels in a few tries without much need for power-ups (unless I really wanted to get a level over with).

    Also this is a bit nitpicky but it’s annoying that the game asks if you’re sure you want to restart a level because you’ll lose progress. The game used to seem like it ran smoother before it asked that every time. Also almost every time I enter a level, even if it’s one I’ve completed before, the game tells me about the special kinds of bubbles in the level (like ice bubbles or the bubbles that turn to stone). It’s a bit annoying that this info pops up almost every time I play a level.

    But mostly it’s a shame that I can’t move forward in the game anymore. This is my favorite Bubble Shooter app and I’ve been looking at other ones since this one has become too difficult to be fun (1582, for example, is so full of stone bubbles that fireballs and bombs aren’t even really effective).

  • A fun time waster, but...

    This game works, and does exactly what I wanted it to do; pop bubbles. However, this game is designed to get you to either spend money or try over and over and over again to get to the next level while it throws endless “challenges” at you that are designed to be gateways to prevent progression. For example, at a certain level they introduce soap bubbles. The soap bubbles spread quickly and prevent combos. So if there’s a soap bubble and you don’t pop it right away (by hitting it with the same color twice), it spreads and covers everything around it. The game also seems to never give you the color ball you need to make that crucial play. If there’s 20 blues and only one red left, and that red is buried under layers of blues, the game will give you a near endless supply of red to fire knowing you cant even get to the one red on the board and when a single blue was all you needed to clear the level. It’s purposely cheaty to get you to buy those coins so you can afford the few power ups available to essentially cheese the level to get past it. And it limits the number of balls you get per level, so if it decides to screw you with colors you can’t use, to bad, better spend some money. Frustrating. It also drains your battery life like no ones business. Play for an hour and your battery is down to 20% from a full charge.

  • Good At First Then.....

    At first this game is crazy good but when you get into the higher levels I believe it gets next to impossible with the amount of shots you get. To get more shots you have to use up all of your earned your only option is to purchase shots which is what the developers want. This is by design. Really frustrating. I wish they would change this. By the way, I’m on level 1709. Also it’s sad because I purchased this game. Why are the shot bubbles not random. The developer purposely constantly gives shooter colors that you can’t use. Please don’t make me email you about these things when everything can be rectified with an update. I get so frustrated that I have deleted the game from my phone only to load it again later. Everybody has the same complaints listen to your customers especially the ones that have given you their money. Better if you don’t purchase this game like I did for way, way too many unbeatable levels.

  • Good and Bad

    I love(d) this game! I had it on my old phone and lost it when I had to get another. I searched the App Store looking for the same one so I could start over (because after reaching 700 on the old one it never updated with new levels). Now that I've managed to find it I'm disappointed in the new features. It's a hassle to get through all the pop ups before playing and the bomb and fire bubbles are so hidden I forget they're there most of the time. As has been said by many reviews the colors are not good. The old colors were great! It was easy to tell what was what but now the game is to stiff and the bubbles have this shiny effect that isn't doing what I imagine the designers planned. I really love this game and don't actually mind the ads that come with it. These new updates however, have managed to actually set the game back a couple steps.
