Burst

How to play

• Move the cursor to aim. The launcher at the bottom turns toward it, up to 70 degrees either side of straight up. The dotted guide line shows the exact path, bounces off the side walls included.
• Click to fire the bubble on the launcher. It sticks to the first bubble or the ceiling it reaches.
• Three or more touching bubbles of one colour pop. Two or fewer stay.
• A pop can leave bubbles hanging with nothing joining them to the ceiling. They fall for bonus points, so cutting off a whole hanging cluster is the best move in the game.
• Right click to swap the bubble on the launcher with the one waiting in the cup.
• Every eight shots a new row pushes in at the top and the whole cluster steps down one row. Nothing moves between your shots, so take your time.
• The opening board is a pendant of bubbles hanging from a two-bubble neck, and the first bubble on the launcher matches the neck's colour. Add it to the neck to make three, and the whole pendant drops.
• The run ends when a bubble reaches the danger line above the launcher.

Scoring

• Each bubble you pop scores 10. Each bubble you drop scores 20. There is no multiplier: the score reflects what you cleared, not how.
• Every 48 shots the level rises and a new colour joins the deal: purple at level 2, white at level 3 and orange at level 4, the most there will be. With more colours there are fewer matches, so the cluster gains on you.
• Score is this run's total. Best is your best run, kept per player.
