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!

Match the colors. Break the art. Don't let the belt jam. Ball Flow: Art Break is a relaxing-but-clever color puzzle with a twist you won't find in other match games: behind every board is a hidden pixel artwork, and the only way to reveal it is to send the right colored balls into the right places. Tap a tray to drop its balls onto the conveyor belt. Every ball that finds a matching pixel breaks it and paints another piece of the picture. Every ball that doesn't… stays on the belt. Fill all the slots and the level is over — so think before you tap. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a color tray to release its balls onto the flowing belt • Balls that match the hidden artwork break through and reveal it • Unmatched balls pile up on the loop — the belt only holds so many • Clear the whole picture to win the level A PUZZLE THAT KEEPS CHANGING Just when you've got the rhythm, the board fights back: • Ice — frozen trays and pixels that need more than one hit • Rock — stubborn blocks that won't break on the first pass • Locks & Keys — find the key before the tray will open • Hidden trays — you won't know the color until you commit • Color shifters — trays that change color as you play • Snakes — they move, they grow, and they only give up their head • Thieves — steal your balls if you let them BOOSTERS FOR WHEN YOU'RE STUCK • Magnet — pull the balls you actually need • Shuffle — reshuffle the trays for a fresh angle • Bottle — park spare balls and buy yourself room to breathe WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING • A brand-new artwork hidden in every single level • Hand-designed puzzles — every level is solvable without spending a thing • One-tap controls, no timer pressure, no twitch reflexes • Play offline, anytime — commute, queue, couch, bed • Satisfying breaks, smooth flow, and a picture that comes together piece by piece Part color-sorting, part logic puzzle, part art gallery. Simple to start, genuinely tricky later. Download Ball Flow: Art Break and find out what's hiding behind the board.
