Sea Bubble Shooter is a bubble-popping game. In a deep, underwater city, the player pops bubbles that appear in patterns around a star-decorated hexagon shape at the center of the playfield. They remove bubbles by shooting projectiles at two or more identical adjacent bubbles. They can also clear the field of bubbles by hitting the hexagon with a single projectile.
When the player shoots bubbles at a pattern around the hexagon, the entire pattern rotates. The player might need to anticipate the direction of the rotation. They can perform more accurate targeting and shots by using a stretchable white aiming line that they pull from the projectile area below the playfield to a specific bubble or other spot. They can also remove bubbles quickly using four boosters near the bottom-right corner.
If the player fails to pop bubbles a certain number of times, new bubbles form and expand in empty random spaces within the pattern. They also lose the opportunity to win all of the achievement stars that the game rewards them.
Sea Bubble Shooter only gives all three stars to the player when they perform extremely well. It rewards them with currency as well. Once they acquire a certain number of stars, they can unlock new playfield environments. They can use the currency to purchase additional boosters.
