Bubbleshooter X Basketball 3d — Play Free Online

Two games bolted together, and it works

A wall of coloured bubbles hangs over a basketball court, two players stand underneath, and there is a SHOOT gauge down the side. You clear bubbles the usual way — three of a colour — and what falls out of the wall becomes something to collect on the court below.

It should be a mess. It is actually a neat idea: the bubble layer decides what is available, and the court layer decides who gets it.

Playing both halves

• Aim at the anchors holding up large hanging sections, exactly as in a normal bubble shooter — a big drop is worth far more than a clean pop.
• Watch the court while you aim. Dropping a cluster where your opponent is standing hands it straight to them.
• The SHOOT gauge is a timing element, not a power bar. Learn its rhythm before trying to be clever with the wall.

Who it is for

If you like bubble shooters and find pure sports games too twitchy, this is the compromise. The bubble half rewards thinking and the court half keeps it moving.
