If you like match-three games in general you are going to love this game. The history of this game goes back to the end of the Cold War, to 1988, to the Russian DOS game Shariki (Bubbles). However the game became widely known with the release of web-based version in 1998. After initial success, multiple iterations of the game were releases on all possible computing platforms. So why should you give our version a try? We tried to recreate all original fun of the game in a tiny download package. Click adjacent bubbles of the same color to remove. The more you remove the higher the score but watch out for the time - once you run out of space - you lose! Use menu (button in top right corner) to check score or restart the game.
