Color Explosions is a bubble shooter that focuses on bomb action. On a gradient royal blue playfield across 15 levels, the player must remove various patterns of mixed hanging bubbles using a tunnel-style bubble shooter. Their goals are to earn a high score and unlock each level.
The game's tunnel shooter is a hole that releases projectiles into a dipped area at the bottom of the playfield. To the right of the main projectile, the game reveals the next one available. If the player's willing to view an ad video, they can swap these projectiles for better, faster results.
As with traditional bubble shooters, the player must create clusters of three or more color-matched bubbles. They can target bubbles with or without a provided dotted aiming line. The game then slightly explodes the cluster to make each bubble disappear from the field. It also features bomb booster bubbles. When the player strikes one of these bubbles with or without creating a cluster, the bomb goes off, creating a large, fiery explosion.
Color Explosions displays the points in the lower-left area to the left of the shooter. It offers the player access to a top 10 leaderboard that ranks the scores of global players via a gold crown button in the upper-left corner.
