The goal of the game is to clear the entire playing field of bubbles in order to advance to the next level. You can shoot the bubble at the bottom at other bubbles. If you make combinations of 3 or more bubbles of the same color, they will disappear. You can score much more points by removing multiple bubbles at a time. Let a large group of bubbles hang and remove the top bubbles. Each bubble that is only attached to the removed bubbles will also be removed, this will give you a big points multiplier!
