The year is 30XX. Giant bubbles have begun raining from the sky. There are no destructive lasers or explosions. Instead, aliens are trapping everythingโ€”buildings, cars, and even peopleโ€”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.
