Zuma: Labubu Bubbles is a Zuma bubble-popping game that features the toothy Labubu monster from Kasing Lung's popular illustrations and related line of collectible merchandise. The player's primary goal is to pop bubbles in mixed marble bubble trains. They also attempt to achieve the highest possible score and collect all available star rewards per level.
As with most bubble shooters, this game features a winding road through various environments with hundreds of level stepping stones. Each level has one or more start tunnels, train tracks and dark holes.
The player must prevent the mixed bubbles from entering a hole. Instead of directing a classic tropical frog or mask shooter with mouth and head projectiles, they direct Labubu. The character holds the main projectile while reclining atop a secondary one.
The player prompts Labubu to toss a projectile at two or more matching adjacent train marbles. To make consecutive hits, they swap projectiles by selecting Labubu's body. The game assigns points from accurate shots on a shield-shaped sign in the upper-left area.
Zuma: Labubu Bubbles contains plenty of classic and new obstacles, including bridges that hide sections of a train from view and iced bubbles that only pop after two hits. It also randomly provides many unique boosters inside floating bubbles above a track or train.
The boosters include a clock that temporarily stops the train's movements and a fireball that destroys a section. Other boosters reverse the train's movement and even repaint a section of bubbles a specific color.
