After a pop, any bubble no longer connected to the ceiling falls and scores 20 points. A bubble stays if another path still links it to the top row.
When you pop a group, the game checks which bubbles are still attached to the top row. Any bubble that has lost its path to the ceiling drops.
How the check works
- A bubble is attached if it is in the top row, or touches an attached bubble of any colour.
- If popping a group cuts off a cluster, every bubble in that cluster falls.
- A bubble that still has another route to the ceiling stays, even if one of its supports disappeared.
Falling bubbles score 20 points each, double the 10 for a bubble you pop. That makes the supports holding up a large hanging cluster the best target. See how scoring works.
A brief cue marks the falling bubbles and their points, and the game over summary reports your biggest single drop. The strategy guide explains how to find the key support.
