Bubble Shooter Multiplayer is a time-sensitive bubble-popping game set in a world of competitive capybara characters controlled by online players. In a split-screen mode, the player competes against another player in real time to pop hanging connected bubbles that contain animals that include birds, monkeys and seals.
The player must attempt to pop as many connected bubbles in clusters of three or more matching ones as quickly as possible. Their goal is to rank high on a global leaderboard by earning a high score. They also attempt to use their play to make other players lose their leaderboard positions.
Instead of receiving an arrow or cannon shooter, the player uses a capybara avatar to toss bubbles at matching targets. In some parts of the pattern, they must pop bubbles positioned near unpoppable stones or break wood-encased bubbles. To make this process easier at any time, they can swap the main projectile in their avatar's paws with a secondary projectile. They also receive an aiming line. To earn the most points, they must break clusters in a streak without any disruption.
When the player successfully breaks bubbles in Bubble Shooter Multiplayer, the game penalizes their opponent by transferring the popped bubbles to the other player's pattern. The player can use this penalty to make it more difficult for their opponent to earn points or even shoot. They can also gain an advantage by using boosters. They merely need to watch advertising videos for access to these helpful tools.
