Bubble Shooter Strategy: Aim, Bounce and Clear

Bubble Shooter games look simple: shoot a bubble, match three or more colours and watch them pop. Good players, though, think a few shots ahead.

Aim carefully

Slow down and line up each shot. Many games show a guide line, and you can bounce a bubble off the side wall to reach a gap that you could not hit directly. Practise bank shots, because they get you into tight spaces.

Target the supports

Bubbles that are not connected to the top fall when the bubbles holding them are removed. Look for a few bubbles that hold up a big cluster, and pop those to clear many at once.

Plan with the next bubble

Use the preview of the next bubble if the game gives one. Avoid leaving single bubbles of a colour you do not have, and try not to waste shots on the same colour from the bottom of the board when a smarter shot would clear more.
