Lopty combines the features of a bubble shooter and a block puzzle game. Match colors to pop bubbles and to clear the obstacles in the level. Bubbles and obstacles will move dynamically due to gravity and due to interaction with each other. Both space and bubbles are limited so you must be careful not to run out of either ... Compete for high scores as each level is fixed and has a global leaderboard.
