How to Play

Basic Gameplay

Tap or click on bubbles to split them! Each bubble splits into two smaller bubbles. Keep splitting until they disappear. The faster you split, the higher your combo multiplier โ€” and where you hit matters: tap the edge of a bubble to steer which direction the two halves fly.

Controls

  • Mouse / touch: tap or click a bubble to split it
  • Space: BANK your pot
  • P or Esc: pause / resume (opens the pause menu)
  • M: mute or unmute sound

Scoring

  • Base points: Each split earns points based on bubble size โ€” smaller bubbles are worth more
  • ๐ŸŽฏ PERFECT pops: Hit a bubble dead-center for 1.5x points, a chime and a gold popup. Aim beats mashing!
  • Combo multiplier: Split quickly to keep the chain going โ€” but a missed tap breaks your combo
  • Multiplier cap: Combo and streak bonuses multiply together, up to a maximum of 8x

๐Ÿฆ The Bank โ€” Risk It or Keep It

While you pop, a share of every point you earn also flows into a bonus pot. Press the BANK button any time to cash the pot into your score โ€” but be greedy at your peril:

  • The pot grows with everything you score โ€” multipliers included, so a hot combo fills it fast
  • One missed tap and the whole pot is gone
  • The pot doesn't survive the final whistle โ€” bank before time runs out!

Bank early and often for safe points, or ride a full combo and cash out one giant pot โ€” the choice is the game.

๐ŸŒŠ Rush Waves

Every 12โ€“18 seconds a five-second RUSH hits: bubbles spawn twice as fast, announced with a rising sting and a banner. Clear the field before the wave arrives, then farm the surge for combos โ€” a well-placed bomb during a rush is devastating.

Special Bubbles

โœจ Gold Bubbles

Golden shimmering bubbles worth 50 bonus points! They disappear after 2 seconds, so act fast. Build a gold streak by collecting them quickly for even bigger rewards.

๐Ÿ’ฃ Bomb Bubbles

Dark bubbles with a red glow. Tap them to trigger an explosion that pops all nearby bubbles! Great for chain reactions and massive point bonuses.

Gold Streak System

Collect gold bubbles within 3 seconds of each other to build a streak! Reach these milestones for bonus multipliers:

๐Ÿ”ฅ
FEVER (5 Gold)
1.5x ALL points for 5 seconds
๐Ÿ’ฐ
BONANZA (10 Gold)
2x ALL points for 10 seconds
โšก
ULTRA COMBO (15 Gold)
3x ALL points for 15 seconds

Tip: Streak bonuses multiply WITH your combo multiplier, up to the 8x cap โ€” keep both alive at once for maximum scoring!

Game Modes

๐Ÿ“… Daily (60 seconds)

The same seeded challenge for every player in the world, and every day has a rule twist: ๐ŸŽฏ Precision Day (only PERFECT hits build combos), ๐Ÿ’ฃ Demolition Day (double bombs), โœจ Gold Rush (gold everywhere), ๐ŸŒŠ Tsunami (waves twice as often) or โšก Turbo (everything 30% faster). Its leaderboard resets at midnight UTC โ€” a fresh shot at the top every day.

๐ŸŽฏ Standard (60 seconds)

Classic timed mode. Score as high as possible before time runs out.

โšก Blitz (30 seconds)

Fast and furious! Half the time, double the intensity.

๐Ÿง˜ Zen (No timer)

Relaxed mode with no time pressure. Play at your own pace.

๐Ÿƒ Marathon (3 minutes)

Extended play where same-size bubbles merge back together โ€” spread your splits!

๐ŸŽพ Bubblesplitz Tennis (multiplayer)

2โ€“4 players in real time. Split bubbles to push them into your opponents' arenas โ€” fewest bubbles at the end wins. Invite friends with a 6-character code.

Pick your arena in the menu. Four themes unlock as you level up: ๐ŸŒŠ Neon Deep (from the start), ๐Ÿš€ Deep Space (Lv 3), ๐ŸŒ… Sunset Lagoon (Lv 6) and ๐ŸŽ† Aurora (Lv 10). Arenas are purely visual โ€” physics and scoring are identical, so leaderboards stay fair. The backing music builds extra layers as your combo heats up โ€” you can toggle it in Settings.

Level Up & Weekly Quests

Every run earns XP from your score and how you play. Level up to unlock new arenas โ€” Deep Space at Lv 3, Sunset Lagoon at Lv 6 and Aurora at Lv 10.

Each week brings three fresh quests โ€” the same for every player โ€” such as popping a set number of bubbles, landing PERFECT hits, or banking a points target. Finish them for bonus XP. Your level, XP and quest progress are saved automatically, and on supported platforms they sync to the cloud so you can pick up on any device.

Leaderboards

Submit your score to compete globally! Each player has one entry per mode showing their best score. Your country flag is detected automatically.

Your Profile & Recovery Code

Important: Save Your Code!

When you submit your first score, you'll receive an 8-character recovery code. Write it down or save it somewhere safe! This code is your key to your profile.

What is the recovery code?

Your recovery code is a unique 8-character ID (like xK7mQ2pR) that identifies your profile. It's stored in your browser, but if you clear your data or switch devices, you'll need this code to get your profile back.

Play on multiple devices

Want to play on both your phone and computer with the same profile? Easy!

  1. On your main device: Note your recovery code (shown after first score submit)
  2. On your new device: Go to the game menu
  3. Click "Restore Profile" at the bottom
  4. Enter your 8-character code
  5. Done! Both devices now share the same profile

Lost your code?

If you still have access to a device where you're logged in, you can find your code in the browser's Developer Tools (F12) โ†’ Application โ†’ Local Storage โ†’ look for bubble-blitz-player-id.

What happens if I don't restore?

Without restoring, each device gets a separate profile. Your scores won't be combined, and you'll appear as different players on the leaderboard.

Tips for High Scores

  • Aim for the center โ€” PERFECT pops give 1.5x and add up fast
  • Keep your combo alive - don't let too much time pass between splits, and don't whiff!
  • Bank your pot before risky stretches โ€” and always before the clock hits zero
  • Before a RUSH wave, clear the field โ€” then feast on the surge
  • Prioritize gold bubbles - they disappear quickly but build your streak!
  • Use bomb bubbles strategically - position other bubbles nearby for chain reactions
  • During FEVER/BONANZA/ULTRA modes, go all out - everything scores more!
  • Watch for bubbles about to leave the screen
  • Practice in Zen mode to improve your accuracy
