Bubble Shooter Challenge is a bubble-popping game. The player pops clusters of glossy, candy-like bubbles hanging in rows against a dark blue backdrop using projectile bubbles shot from the bottom of the field. Their goal is to clear the field and earn a high score.
The player receives access to a main bubble projectile and a secondary projectile. That said, the game doesn't give them the ability to swap these projectiles for better shots. Instead, the player must always use the current one to take a shot, even if the shot doesn't pop any bubbles. The game also gives the player a color-matched dotted targeting line for more precise hits. It doesn't provide a traditional shooter, such as an arrow and a bow or cannon.
The bubbles also don't pop on the field. The game drops a cluster of connected matching bubbles and any non-matching ones attached underneath to spaces marked with numbers (i.e., 50, 100, 250, 100 and 50). A bubble bounces around before hitting a space, becoming a clear bubble with a white outline, and then disappearing when the game assigns points.
Bubble Shooter Challenge offers a multiplier system that increases with every consecutive hit that results from a projectile knocking bubbles off the field. The player can track the multiplier near the lower-left corner. They can review their current score near the lower-right corner.
