Help your friendly bubble float through shimmering submerged obstacles and random gaps. Play for 30 seconds or 30 minutes of family friendly fun. Tap quickly to help Bubbly battle gravity.

Or switch to "Drops" mode for a wild twist where Bubbly acts like your normal gravity world. You can adjust gravity strength for more float or more pull.

Control Box Features: - Pause / Resume to take a break - Switch between music tracks—or play in silence under the sea - Enable Autopilot AI where Bubbly tries to play the game with its own AI control. In AI mode, you can play along to help Bubbly, or just watch and enjoy. - Music & Atmosphere - Two original background tracks create the vibes—relaxing or intense, depending on your run. - Modes: Normal and Bubbles.
