The goal of the game is to clear the entire playing field of bubbles in order to advance to the next level. You can shoot the bubble at the bottom at other bubbles. If you make combinations of 3 or more bubbles of the same color, they will disappear. You can score much more points by removing multiple bubbles at a time. Let a large group of bubbles hang and remove the top bubbles. Each bubble that is only attached to the removed bubbles will also be removed, this will give you a big points multiplier!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble Tap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shoot Bubble has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Bubble Tap's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shoot Bubble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Tap ships an update every 2 months, Shoot Bubble monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
