Your goal
Clear the hanging bubbles before they reach the lower boundary. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

- Aim and fire.
- Attach bubbles to the cluster.
- Groups of three or more equal colours disappear.

Controls
Pointer/touch aim, angle controls and Fire. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Removing one support can drop a larger mixed-colour group below it. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Contact with a different colour is not a match. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
