Aim, shoot, pop. Thousands of levels in a magical world. Bubble Shooter Arcadia is the classic bubble game you already know how to play, built with care and set in a world worth exploring. Match three or more bubbles of a colour to clear them, bank shots off the walls, and work your way through level after level. HOW TO PLAY - Drag to aim, release to shoot - Match three or more of the same colour to pop them - Bounce shots off the walls to reach awkward corners - Clear the board or meet the goal before your shots run out SPECIAL BUBBLES - Rock bubbles take more than one hit - Rainbow bubbles match any colour - Bomb bubbles clear everything around them BOOSTERS WORTH SAVING Fireballs burn straight through a line. Rainbow shots match anything. Magic auras pop bubbles on their own. Earn coins from daily missions and spend them when a level really fights back. THOUSANDS OF LEVELS Each one is laid out by hand, and the difficulty climbs honestly. Come back each day for login rewards. PLAYS OFFLINE No connection needed. Take it on a flight, on the train, or anywhere the signal drops. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER The aiming is physics-based, so the wall bounces are real. Beginners can pop their way through the early levels; later on you will be planning three shots ahead. Free to download and play, with optional in-app purchases including a No Ads upgrade.
