PopBubble

PopBubble is a classic Bubble Shooter elimination game. Players shoot colored bubbles from the bottom of the screen toward the top, aiming to group **3 or more same-colored bubbles** together to pop them. The goal is to clear all bubbles in the current level. ### 2. Basic Controls 1. **Aim & Shoot**: Press and drag on the bottom of the screen to adjust your aim angle (a guide line will be shown). Release your finger to fire the bubble. 2. **Wall Bounce**: Bubbles bounce off the left and right walls. Use ricochets to reach bubbles that are hard to hit directly. 3. **Switch Color**: Tap the switch button next to the launcher to change the current bubble's color, helping you match hard-to-reach areas. 4. **Pause**: Tap the pause button at the top to pause the game. From the pause panel, you can toggle music and sound effects independently. ### 3. Core Mechanics - **Color Matching**: When a fired bubble hits the ceiling or an existing bubble, it locks into place. If **3 or more same-colored bubbles** become adjacent, they are popped. - **Hanging Drop**: After popping, any bubbles disconnected from the ceiling will fall. Falling bubbles grant bonus points. - **Combo System**: Each successful elimination increases the combo counter. The higher the combo, the more points per bubble. If a shot results in no elimination, the combo resets to 0. - **Running Out of Bubbles**: If you exhaust all allocated bubbles before clearing the level, the game ends in failure. ### 4.
