How is Bubble Shooter scored?

On this pageA worked exampleWhere you see it

You earn 10 points per popped bubble, 20 per bubble that falls and 500 for clearing a stage. Popping three and dropping four scores 110.

There are three ways to score.

  • 10 points for each bubble you pop.
  • 20 points for each bubble that falls because it lost its link to the ceiling.
  • 500 points for clearing every bubble and finishing a stage.

A worked example

Popping three bubbles and dropping four scores 3 × 10 + 4 × 20 = 110. If that shot also clears the board, add the stage bonus for 610.

Where you see it

A brief cue shows the falling bubbles and their drop points. The status line under the board gives the total for the shot. Your score carries into the next stage, and a miss scores nothing.

A drop is worth double a pop, so the supports that make clusters fall are the best targets. Your personal best is saved in this browser, and there is no public leaderboard. See the strategy guide for the full method.
