Bubble Shooter: Classic Match 3 (Pop Bubbles) is a bubble-shooting game similar to Racoon Rescue. An adult striped cat must rescue kittens and other baby animals, including monkeys, rabbits, pandas and pigs, across dozens of levels on a stone path through a world filled with ancient statues, lily ponds and mushroom-capped houses.
The player doesn't use a classic bubble shooter. Instead of a bow, cannon or ring, they direct the cat to toss bubbles from a wicker basket up into the air at a field of multicolored bubbles hanging above its head. They must match the projectile bubble with bubbles on the field. As with a traditional shooter, they can select the number of projectile bubbles near the basket to swap the current projectile with another one to find the best colored one to use during a round.
When the player performs well, the babies trapped in bubbles parachute to safety on the ground. The remaining projectile bubbles explode to create fireworks. The player receives up to three stars and ruby-like gemstones. They also receive bonus gems via a free lucky spin wheel on the main path.
Bubble Shooter: Classic Match 3 features a wide range of boosters that make playing a lot more fun. In addition to classic bombs and rockets, the game offers explosive crystal spears that shoot in three directions, a shuriken that spins through the bubbles, and a rainbow disco ball that takes out every bubble that matches the one it hits.
