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...

Stack Swipe Rush

Features
Read full description

Stack Swipe Rush is a satisfying puzzle game where every swipe slides the entire grid of plates in one direction. Your mission? Stack 5 or more same-colored plates to make them disappear, hit your level goals, and clear the board! Core Mechanics: Swipe up, down, left, or right to shift all plates in that direction. Plates only stack if the one in their path is the same color. Stacks of 5 or more matching plates automatically blast! Tap the Serve button to drop new plates into empty tiles—or even on top of existing stacks. Progress Through Levels: Each level sets specific color-based goals: e.g., blast 7 red and 12 blue plates. New obstacles and tighter grids increase the challenge as you advance. Plan ahead—stacking efficiently is key to avoiding dead ends. Why You'll Love It: Swipe-based movement with clever stacking logic. Bursts of chain reactions that feel super satisfying. Beautiful visuals and clean controls for relaxing, strategic play. Level progression that adds new color combinations and tighter limits. Ready to play a puzzle game that’s smooth, smart, and highly stackable? Swipe your way to victory!
