In 2015, Absolutist sold the Bubble Shooter IP to Ilyon Dynamics LTD,[3] which expanded the brand on mobile and into new platforms such as Facebook Messenger and the mobile eSports platform Skillz.[4] A special version was developed and published with the Seminole Tribe of Florida using their Hard Rock Cafe brand.[5]

Gameplay

The goal of the game is to clear the playing field by forming groups of three or more like-colored marbles. The game ends when the balls reach the bottom line of the screen. The more balls destroyed in one shot, the more points scored. A player wins when there are no balls remaining on the playing field.

There are 4 difficulty levels: EasyRide, Novice, Expert, Master. Two scoring modes: Classic, Sniper. The Classic Mode suggests slow-paced gameplay with no time or shots limits. The goal of the Sniper Mode is to clear the playfield using minimum shots.

There are two game modes:

  • Strategy – Shots limit
  • Arcade – Time limit
