ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shooty Bubbles holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Mania™ has 5.1K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Bubble Mania™'s written reviews are positive against 17% of Shooty Bubbles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Mania™ ships an update every 4 weeks, Shooty Bubbles every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
