Bubble Shooter

Learn how the Bubble Shooter mini-game works on Fastory: gameplay, bonus bubbles, scoring with stars, customization options, and best practices to engage your audience.

Bubble Shooter is a skill-based mini-game. Players shoot bubbles to form groups of the same color and pop them, while keeping the bubble grid from dropping too low.

It is a casual gaming classic, easy to pick up and highly engaging.

What is it for?

Bubble Shooter lets you bring a campaign or a Fanzone to life with a game that is accessible to all audiences.

Its pace and addictive nature encourage players to play again to improve their score, which increases the time spent on your activation.

It is an excellent format for setting up a leaderboard and fueling competition among your fans.

How does Bubble Shooter work?

The principle is simple:

  • aim with the cannon at the bottom of the screen;
  • a guide line shows you the trajectory, which can bounce off the edges;
  • shoot a bubble to send it into the grid;
  • group at least 3 bubbles of the same color to pop them.

When bubbles end up detached from the rest of the grid, they fall and earn extra points.

New rows of bubbles descend as the game goes on. If the bubbles cross the bottom line, the game ends.

Bonus bubbles

If you enable bonuses, special bubbles appear regularly:

  • the bomb, which destroys an area of bubbles around it;
  • the timer, which temporarily freezes the grid's descent;
  • the super bonus, which helps clear even more bubbles.

Score and stars

The score increases with every bubble popped or dropped. Larger groups earn more points.

Players can earn up to 5 stars depending on the percentage of the score goal they reach.

Customization options

You can tailor Bubble Shooter to your needs:

  • the score goal to reach;
  • the difficulty, which affects the descent speed and how often bonuses appear;
  • whether bonus bubbles are enabled;
  • the header colors;
  • the bubble visuals and the game sounds.

Best practices

  • Set a score goal consistent with the chosen difficulty.
  • Enable bonus bubbles to make games more spectacular.
  • Pair the game with a leaderboard to encourage replays.
  • Keep bubble colors clearly distinct for optimal playing comfort.
