Bubble Shooter in 2048! is a bubble-popping game. Although it has 2048 in the title, it doesn't feature 2048 merge outcomes. The player's goals are to pop clusters of matching bubbles, complete assigned tasks, and earn points, coins and stars.
On each level, the player receives a hanging pattern of colored bubbles that contain objects, such as clovers, diamonds and hearts. They use a swirling portal shooter, two swappable projectiles and an energy beam aiming line to create clusters of three or more matching bubbles.
Bubble Shooter in 2048! tries to trick the player in various ways. For example, it often places different objects in bubbles of the same color. The player can't form clusters unless the colors and objects are the same.
The player receives extra points for any remaining projectiles in the shooter at the end of a level. As a result, they should always attempt to complete their task with a minimal number of moves and projectiles.
