Bubble Invasions

Features
Read full description

The year is 30XX. Giant bubbles have begun raining from the sky. There are no destructive lasers or explosions. Instead, aliens are trapping everything—buildings, cars, and even people—inside "Space Bubbles" and floating them into the sky! The culprits are the "Bubblians," the most notorious collectors in the galaxy. They aren't trying to destroy our beautiful blue planet; they want to "package" the entire Earth safely to sell at a galactic auction for a fortune! The Earth Defense Force has discovered a physical weakness in the Bubblian bubbles. By using the special "Optical Bubble Shooter" to strike three or more bubbles of the same wavelength (color), they trigger a resonance that shatters the bubbles. Now, you must become a special agent, pop those bubbles, and set the Earth free from its packaging! [Features] 2,147,483,647 levels to conquer. Play offline without WiFi. Take on missions to catch invading ghosts or shatter monoliths. Use Bomb Bubbles to clear fast-descending bubbles during intense enemy attacks. Colorblind mode supported. [How to Play] Shoot bubbles to match 3 or more of the same color to pop them. Bubbles disconnected from the main group will fall. Pop 5+ bubbles to create a Rainbow Bubble. Make 3+ consecutive matches to create a Striped Bubble. Combine both conditions to create a Rainbow Striped Bubble. [Special Bubbles] Rainbow Bubble: Matches with any color. Striped Bubble: Clears an entire horizontal row. Bomb Bubble: Clears surrounding bubbles upon explosion. [Items] Meteor Bubble: Clears nearby bubbles as it passes through. Random Bubble: Prepares a random special bubble (Rainbow, Striped, Bomb, or Meteor) in the shooter. Shield: Pauses enemy attacks for 8 seconds.
