Cute Monster Bubble Shooter is a bubble-popping game that features happy emoji-style monster heads. Against a nature scene presented with a bokeh effect, the player attempts to earn points and complete levels by popping clusters of three or more matching monster heads and collecting red-and-white swirled candies.
The game rapidly slides rows of monster heads toward the bottom of the playfield. If the player doesn't reach the candy fast enough, it displays distracting flashing red warnings (i.e., a red-and-white diagonally striped horizontal bar and a red warning stop sign with a white exclamation point) to make it more difficult for the player to complete a level. Since there's no targeting line or swappable projectiles, the player must make every shot from a wooden cannon shooter as accurate as possible with hand-eye coordination and manual precision targeting.
Cute Monster Bubble Shooter helps the player with various power-up booster bubbles distributed across the hanging bubble rows. The player can target a clock that slows the descent of the bubbles, wrapped dynamite that removes bubbles in a blast zone, lightning bolts that take out horizontal rows, circus cannons that serve as wild cards, and other tools that quickly pop bubbles on the field.
