Attack, Defend, Expanse. Bubble Wars was never an ordinary bubble shooter and it has now evolved. Play the game you want: Attack to destroy a spinning disc. Defend to break apart a spinning ring from the inside. Expanse to move around large playfield and take it apart. Choose how you advance. You can start each game from level one and see how far you can go, or build up on your progress game by game. Play the classics either straight-forward or with extra twists. You can play with the standard bubbles or a number of specialty bubbles, most of which are there to make it harder for you to win. Or enter the Expanse mode where everything changes... Bubble Wars has evolved.
