--- 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.
