--- A MUST HAVE GAME #1 FOR EVERY WOMAN --- Bubble Burst™ is an amazing and very absorbing classic game where you must select a color group of bubbles on a grid and click to destroy them. The more bubbles you destroy with a single click, the higher your score will be. Unlike the other bubble games, Bubble Burst™ involves more deep thinking and strategy instead of fast paced action. For example, if you see two small groups of blue bubbles with a few green ones in between, you might want to eliminate the green first so you can hit all the blue ones in one shot.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bubble Burst™ at none against Bubble Witch 3 Saga's shown. Bubble Burst™ also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0.0). Bubble Witch 3 Saga's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (106K vs 93). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
