Welcome to this captivating version of Match 3 puzzle. The point of the game is to line up 5 or more bubbles horizontally or vertically to remove them off the board. Tap bobble to select and then tap empty cell where you want to bubble to move. The path has to be clear – bubbles can’t move diagonally and can’t jump over the other bubbles. The more bubbles you remove at a time the higher the bonus. Don't forget to check our Games section for more fun games...
