Bubble Burst is a highly addictive puzzle game where you'll try to fill grids of 3x3 or fill up columns and rows in the 9x9 bubble grid. You score points by placing a shape on the grid within 3 seconds, or by filling up a row, column or square of bubbles. Be careful with the tactics you choose, placing shapes quickly could break you up later when the grid starts to fill up. Have fun, and compete with friends and family through Game Center!
