Bubblet Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different game styles?
There are four different game styles in Bubblet:
- Standard - This is the default style of play. There is a
set number of bubbles and bubbles fall straight down in order to fill
in the spots left by bursted bubbles below them. If a column
is completely cleared of all bubbles, any columns to the left will
shift over to the right.
- Continuous - The bubbles behave just as in Standard however
the game can continue beyond the initial set of bubbles. After
cleared columns have shifted to the right and exposed an empty column
on the left of the screen, the "Next" column (see the bottom of the
screen) will fill in. That way, a game can continue longer than a
Standard game.
- Shifter - This style has a set number of bubbles. It differs
from Standard in that, after the bubbles shift down, bubbles will also
shift over immediately to the right so that there are no holes at all
in the bubble layout.
- MegaShift - Just like with Shifter, remaining bubbles move down
and to the right after a bursting. Add the "Next" column behavior like
in Continuous mode and you have MegaShift!
What is a bubble bonus?
In Standard and Shifter game styles, if you manage to leave fewer than
5 unbursted bubbles on the board you will be rewarded with more points
at the conclusion of the game. For each bubble fewer than 5 you will
earn 20 points!
Can I turn off the bubble bursting graphics?
Sure. Simply open up the Preferences form (Menu->Game->Preferences) and
uncheck "Display Bubble Bursts".
My friends and family are always messing up my stats...what can I
do about it?
Turn on Guest Mode. To do so, open up the Preferences form
(Menu->Game->Preferences) and check "Guest Mode". Games will no
longer be counted in the your statistics. To start recording statistics
again, simply uncheck the box and start a new game.
