Bubble Shooter Tingly is a bubble-popper that features pleasant music and fun graphics, including a nighttime forest backdrop and tiny bubbles that fizz and float like tingling soda or champagne bubbles. The player's goal is to pop all the bubbles hanging in rows near the top of the screen, earn the highest possible score, and clear every stage or level.
The player shoots bubble projectiles from a white ring shooter located below a blue horizontal warning line at the bottom of the screen. They receive two projectiles at all times. They use their cursor or a dotted aiming line and targeting ring to direct the one at the top of the ring. They can only remove bubbles from the field when the projectile hits two or more connected ones of the same color. The player receives points when the bubbles pop. They can review their current points next to the start at the top of the screen. Whenever they have to start over, their highest lifetime score appears next to the trophy icon.
At first, the bubbles slide slowly down the screen. Over time, Bubble Shooter Tingly challenges the player by increasing the speed of the drop and making the projectiles less likely to match with each shot. That said, the player can select the shooter at any time to swap the two projectiles in it.
