Bubble Burst — a free online arcade game on TotType
Bubble Burst is a fast-paced bubble-shooter arcade game where you aim a cannon from the bottom and fire colored bubbles up into a hex-grid of settling bubbles. Match three or more of the same color to pop them, and any clusters cut loose from the top drop off for bonus points. Special BOMB, LASER, and RAINBOW bubbles are mixed into the board and go off when you pop them in a match. New rows descend after a few shots that don't pop anything—and sooner as you climb the level ladder. Free, no download, playable on any device in your browser — anyone can try a demo run with no account, and a free parent account with a verified email unlocks unlimited play.

How to play Bubble Burst
Aim with the mouse or ← →, then tap / Space to shoot. Match 3+ of the same color to pop them; clusters cut off from the top fall too. Don't let the bubbles reach the bottom.
Tips & tricks
- Use the LASER power-up (marked with L) to instantly clear an entire column, opening up space for fresh shots.
- When the board fills up, aim for matches that include a BOMB bubble—its two-ring blast clears far more space than a basic match and can cut whole clusters loose.
- Make every shot count: new rows only drop after shots that don't pop anything, and on higher levels it takes fewer misses to bring them down.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Bubble Burst?
Aim your cannon with the mouse or arrow keys, then tap or press Space to fire a bubble. Match three or more of the same color in a group to pop them; any cluster cut off from the top will fall away for bonus points. Don't let the bubbles reach the red danger line at the bottom or the game ends.
What do the special power-ups do?
The BOMB (B) clears a two-ring blast, the LASER (L) clears an entire column, and the RAINBOW (R) acts as a wildcard and matches any color. When you pop a match that contains a BOMB or LASER bubble, its effect goes off, and anything left hanging drops for bonus points.
