The game ends when an attached bubble reaches the danger line. Clearing every bubble does not end it: it starts a harder stage and keeps your score.
You lose when a bubble on the board reaches the danger line near the launcher.
What ends a run
- A bubble reaching the danger line after your shot, once any pops and drops have been counted.
- An added row that pushes the board down onto the line. Rows come from five misses in a row.
Falling bubbles are cleared before this check, so a shot that drops the low bubbles can save the run.
Clearing the board is not the end
If you remove every bubble, you earn a 500-point bonus and start a new, harder stage with your score kept (more on stages). There is no limit on stages.
At game over
The summary shows your score, stages cleared, shots and biggest drop, and you can share it or play again. Your personal best is kept. There is no undo. For ways to stay clear of the line, see the strategy guide.
