Bubble Shooter for Windows

Bubble blitz

Bubble Shooter is an arcade puzzle remake of a 1994 title originally released by Taito, structured around a core gameplay loop that cycles through aiming, projectile release, collision resolution, and board recalculation. Each round runs inside a discrete session structure governed by a countdown timer and termination conditions. 

Bubble Shooter ruleset implements a fixed-field projectile system within the color-matching subgenre. A progression framework advances stages when active targets are cleared. The Primary interaction centers on a trajectory mechanic, launch angles from input. Win states trigger when targets reach zero, while failure logic activates when timers expire or collisions register.

The Bubble Shooter input mapping system converts cursor coordinates and key states into rotational values applied to the launcher entity. Directional keys increment angle variables in fixed steps, while mouse tracking samples continuous positional data. A firing command triggers the instantiation of an object with assigned vectors and speed constants. Mechanical constraints derive from discrete angle intervals and predefined velocity tables that standardize projectile motion. Sampling frequency defines responsiveness internally.

Color matching

The collision detection system evaluates contact events between moving projectiles and grid nodes using boundary overlap checks. On validation, the engine snaps objects to lattice coordinates and queries adjacency clusters for color equivalence. Matching groups meeting threshold counts trigger deletion routines. Unsupported elements detach and enter a falling-state routine regulated by the downward vector assignment until the removal conditions execute. Score counters update afterward per event.

The mode framework initializes parameter sets that define projectile quantity, control schema, and target distribution before each session. A state manager tracks timers, remaining objects, and rule violations through continuous polling. When monitored variables cross thresholds, the state validation system triggers termination sequences. However, the immutability of preset rules creates structural limits that prevent dynamic modification during active rounds. Transition flags are automatically reset afterward for subsequent sessions.

Pop the clusters

Bubble Shooter operates as a browser-based projectile puzzle structured around timed sessions, angular input translation, and deterministic collision evaluation. Its subsystems interconnect through shared state tracking, linking aiming, validation, and removal routines. Distinct implementations include multi-schema control handling and simultaneous projectile management. Constraints persist in fixed angle increments, lattice snapping, and preset rule tables that bound system variability and dictate termination outcomes. Platform scope remains browser-bound with localized processing only.
