About

A classic aim-and-fire bubble popper built for the keypad. Sweep the launcher with 4 and 6, fire with 5 and swap with the next bubble using 0. Match three or more of a colour to pop them, and cut loose any bubbles hanging below for a bigger bonus. Every few missed shots the ceiling pushes down a new row; let the cluster reach the dashed line and it is over. Relaxed mode uses four colours and a slower ceiling.

Objective: Clear every bubble from the board.

Modes: Relaxed, Classic
