About

Triple Match Bubbles

Features
Read full description

Three bubbles of a kind become one. That one rule runs all three games. Number Merge doubles 2s up to 128. Color Merge blends Mist down to Midnight. Animal Merge grows a ladybug into a rhino. Bubbles float free in an open pool. Drag one into another, and when a bubble grows it reaches for whatever it touches — so one good move can chain across the board. Every board is built by running a merge backwards, so the pieces to clear it are always there. No level is a dead end. Levels. No ads, no timers, no account, no internet. Features • Three games, 100 levels each • Chains that multiply your score up to 5× • Fever mode — merge at two instead of three • Five power-ups: Undo, Hint, Drift, Split, Magnet • Ice from level 40 • Three stars per level, a Vault of every bubble, five themes, nine achievements • Stats and your last 100 games, with replay • Gems earned by playing — nothing to buy • Offline and portrait, with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type How to play 1 Drag a bubble onto another of the same kind and size. 2 Gather three and it grows. Leftovers stay behind — nothing is wasted. 3 Grow beside a match and they link and grow again. Chains multiply your score. 4 Reach the top — 128, Midnight, rhino — and it pops for a big bonus. 5 Clear the pool before your moves run out. Moves to spare earns three stars. Benefits • No clock. Plan at your own pace. • Always solvable. Stuck is a puzzle, never a dead end. • Fits a spare five minutes. A level takes two, and saves instantly. • Three games, three feels. Arithmetic, colour, or growth — progress kept separately. • Genuinely private. Nothing collected, never goes online. • Nothing to buy. No store, no paywall, no waiting.
