Bubble Shooter: Bubble Shooting is a timed matching game. The player's goal is to earn as many points as possible by knocking a pattern of mixed connected bubbles from its position hanging in front of a rural castle scene while a timer counts down rapidly. If they run out of time, their goal is to then beat their last score.
The game requires the player to target two or more connected bubbles that match a projectile located at the bottom-center of the playfield. When the player makes a match, the game knocks the bubbles like balls from the field and off the bottom of the screen. To drop the most balls possible, the player must target a group of matching balls above non-matching ones to create an avalanche.
Bubble Shooter: Bubble Shooting makes it almost impossible for the player to win. It intermittently shakes the hanging bubble balls. It also resets the pattern and clock without warning, often as the player is about to clear the field of all bubbles. At times, accurate targeting of clusters also fails to work.
The player can use the pause button in the upper-right area at any time to take a break. They can repeatedly use the double-arrow reload button to find a pattern that features a lot of connected matching bubble balls that allow them to play faster and more efficiently. The player must do their best to shoot strategically and with precision.
