How to Master Bubble Shooter Game Strategies 01

Introduction

The game, Bubble Shooter, actually symbolizes one of the most popular and long-playing casual games in the world. It attracts millions of other players to such disciplines only because of simple great mechanics, hooked gameplay, and global rating. Don’t underestimate its simplicity, though.

Behind it may hide more than what an eye could see; if you are true in mastering the game and boosting the high scores then you absolutely need to know key strategies.

Read along as I take you through some techniques and strategies that would make you a master in the game of Bubble Shooter. Do not worry if you are a beginner; you would be molded with the tips. What is more interesting is that I am going to share some personal anecdotes with you so that you create more relatability and a fun approach towards learning.

What is Bubble Shooter?
To the newcomer to the game, Bubble Shooter is that whole screen full of assorted color bubbles. From your cannon, which looks like it sits at the bottom of the screen, you shoot colored balloons. The premise of playing is to shoot balloons in such a way that three or more of a row come together.

That earns you points, and if they hit the bottom screen, then your game’s lost. So, well, you pretty much need to make sure you’re really quite good at targeting and moving very fast.

It is, after all, merely a game of manipulation. Mechanism per se is not very difficult to understand, but the mastery over the bubbles, the color cycle of that particular set of bubbles, and prediction of the next few moves makes it a game of masters versus mere mortals.

1. Control of the Fundamentals of Bubble Shooter

While there’s much that is learned just knowing the very basics of how Bubble Shooter plays long before applying any one of these higher-level strategies.

It is, after all, such a general idea that in one’s thinking as with most other point-and-click games, one would tend to think that’s how it’ll work once the basic mechanics are mastered, only it turns out to be the basis for further advanced plays.

Basic Game Mechanisms
Cannon Aiming: Right at the bottom of the screen, you have a cannon as a means to blast your shot. The only bad thing with the game is that you have to hit two or more than two bubbles of the same color in order to make matches unless you can position them somewhere so that they bubble along the edges of the screen into hard-to-reach places.

Color Cycles: You have to play with a color cycle; every time you shoot, the game automatically brings out a fresh one from the already picked pool of colors. That way, by mastering this, you would easily plan your shots.

Popping and Bouncing: Game is that the inflatables of three or more alike colored bubbles blow up, also all the dangling bubbles which are not attached to something will fall and pop.

Well, just one of those casual games you know: shoot the bubbles hoping in the end everything works out. Well, it wasn’t a very long time before I realized my dead-end situation; I couldn’t go further than the beginner level. High time for the brain to turn into some sort of a strategic mode and start.

2. Getting into the Rhythm of Shooting

Of course, the most important thing you’d learn playing Aiming in Bubble Shooter would be accuracy in aiming. These levels do not really care if you were not too precise until into the early stages but as you get to the later stages and so forth, it does need pinpoint accuracy.

Angles, and how bubbles rebound from the walls have to be understood.

Now that we know how to exploit angles.
Direct shots: likely the most apparent of the shots, and taken whenever you are aligning up a line of bubbles in a line to be popped.

Best shot at direct shots come when the length of the barrel of your cannon is inline with the line leading to the bubble you are aiming to pop.
Bank Shots. Not in all cases, you can pop those bubbles that you must-pop them are taken by someone. And precisely on such point the bank shots enter into act.

So, you will learn to shoot the lateral walls of the screen so that bubbles bounce at definite angles and take clusters that seemed inaccessible for you.

Now, once you are perfect at bank shots, the game efficiency in the game increases a thousand times in Bubble Shooter.

Practice Makes Perfect
Maybe the best way to get good with aim is through practice. There would be times that I’d get weird angles in bank shots but after some failures, I started to feel a handle for how bubbles would ricochet off walls.

Do not be discouraged if you make mistakes at first; steady practice will improve.

3. Learn How to Manage Bubbles

For example, you will realize that it throws random colors for any game of bubbles. It is a cycle thus at some time; the game only provides some amounts of colors.

You need to learn how to manage your shots of bubbles so that you will be able to last long in the game.

Remove Colors Quick
One of the best ways with which you can eliminate a level in this game is through the process of removing all the balls of a color as fast as possible.

This is because once you remove one of the colors, you would never get more of those bubbles of that color of the game; therefore you will have no option but sticking to the remaining color.

For example, if I notice some reds approaching on the horizon, I catch them all. At that point game will stop generating reds-so I can win it.

The only time when I was not focused on the pattern and kept juggling all colors; I lost because there were too many bubbles bouncing on the screen. When I did “color elimination”, I actually realized that there were a lot of differences in gameplay.

Knowing how many of your bubble inventory you have
Keep an eye to what’s going to come out of the cannon after this. Now that you know what color for sure is going to come, you can make some better plans for your move with that one.

For example, if it’s blue next time, then when you see that match of the blue-colored bubbles rising up to the top of the screen, you might shoot a path out that way to clear.

4. High-Value Shots

Cluster bubbles are not created equal. It is tempting to shoot at any stray match, but you soon find out when to shoot your best shots to speed up the game even faster. Hanging Clusters
You have to strategize in Bubble Shooter when clusters of bubbles are formed and connected by extremely few strands.

Every time you clear such a group that is keeping others going only by their bubs, then those below will fall too, so you get bonus points as well and clear a bit more of the screen. Indeed, I remember also the first time I played and with one or two lucky shots, I could drop a huge group.

It almost seemed like a different door into another level of strategy as it was not just for fun only, but really thinking and planning every shot two or three moves in advance.
Top Clear Screen
But the worst enemy is at the top part of the screen. The further the bubbles fall the lesser your margin of error will go. Always shoot as much bubbles towards the upper reaches of the screen as possible for widening the margin. You would be saved from this terrible scenario of allowing the bubbles reach the bottom side of the screen and eventually game over.

5. Make use of Power-Ups Wisely

Many of the power-up versions of the game contain features that you might use to really jack up your chances at winning the game. For one thing, some allow for the making of clusters of hugely large groups of bubbles, and you can change colors to pop any given area on the screen. But sometimes, at times, though, the limitations associated with the use of power-ups make it tough to apply them wisely.

Some Favorite Power-Ups
Bomb Bubble : Pops everything in a certain radius. Very helpful to clean big clumps, for example.
Color Swapper: Color-swapped bubble will let you swap whatever color of the bubble you want at the moment. That is the best time to use it: when you are just one step away from popping a big group.

Line Blaster: Removes all horizontal or vertical line of bubbles. The most useful when clearing makes for open area, or clears top of the screen, etc.
Instead of waiting for that moment, the first time I was able to use a power-up is when it was to appear. Time passes, and you learn it’s far better to keep it saved up for key moments: when the screen is nearly full or when you desperately need to drop a huge cluster .

6. Calmness Under Pressure

Actually, one of the characteristic defining lines of Bubble Shooter is beginning to tighten up more and more as they creep their way ever closer toward reaching the bottom of the screen. Then comes the pressure; you have to hold it in more and keep cool.

Try Not To Panic Shoot
Those remaining bubbles may make someone start shooting into nowhere, where poor shots and wasted possibilities pile up. Take a deep breath and indeed take the time to observe the situation so that you can play calculated moves even in high-pressure.

Center Your Focus on One Area
It’s a real temptation to clean as many fields as possible if the screen is getting full, but most often clearing one section at a time makes much more sense. And then there is a free space to concentrate the efforts and think ahead. I remember games pretty well in which I spread my shots too thinly, so it was overtaking me in sheer numbers of bubbles. Concentrating on one area, and then I could regain control again.

7. Error and Experience Log

You will also have to learn from mistakes in order to top out in the game of Bubble Shooter. In a nutshell, just pay attention to all the shots which do not get taken, strategies which do not work and, above all the bubbles which can spoil everything in the last minute.
Analysis of Mistakes
If you fail at one particular place of a level then take some time thinking what are you doing wrong there. Are you wasting much of your time on an unimportant shot or are you not paying sufficient attention to something very important? While the whole process of consideration is going on, you will never do that in the future games.

Celebrate your small wins
That’s progress, like anything else that’s skill-based. Rejoice at small victories: you conquered a tricky level, or you mastered how to make some new kind of shot. At each victory, the practice will continue to focus on improvement. I can remember weeks spent mastering the fine art of bank shots. The day I scored the big one was impressive. It kept me practicing.

Conclusion: How to Master at Bubble Shooter
With a little practice, the right attitude, and a little patience, you will become perfect to play the game of Bubble Shooter. Plan towards major techniques in form of perfect management in aim, color exploitation of power-ups that help you to stay cool under pressure, mistake analysis, and regular practice to experience massive improvements in the gameplay.

For me, improvement in experience was while playing at Bubble Shooter, the turning point is always to approach every game as something that needs to be learned and improved upon. So whenever I lost any game, I used to sit and ask myself what can I do next time so that I should not commit the same mistake again. Then it changed some ‘playful informal exercise’ into a game to always play and try myself at something that would show an improvement of time.
