Stages never end. They start with four colours and five rows, and later stages add colours up to six and starting rows up to seven.
There is no final stage. Each time you clear the board, a new stage starts and the score carries over.
How stages get harder
- Colours: stages 1 and 2 use four colours. A fifth arrives at stage 3, and a sixth at stage 5. Six is the most.
- Starting rows: stage 1 begins with five rows. It adds a row every three stages, up to seven.
Within a stage, new rows from repeated misses can use any colour of that stage’s palette.
What you shoot
The bubbles you are given use colours that are still on the board, so you will not be handed a colour with nothing to match. Boards are random and are not guaranteed to be clearable, so look for a good support rather than expecting every shot to match.
