A bubble bounces off your paddle to break rainbow bricks. Use the controls below to play.

A little bubble. A big adventure.

Twelve stages, rainbow bricks and falling surprises.

Q / E to aim before launch

Catch the falling power-ups

Find your rhythm

Choose a stage, then start your adventure.

Move your mouse, drag on the playfield, or use ← → / A D to steer. Set the launch-angle slider or use Q / E, then tap the playfield or press Space to launch. Hit with the edge of your paddle to change the angle. Six returns from the middle fifth of your paddle earn a safety net, once per stage. Catch falling power-ups with the paddle. On your last life, a safety shield gives you a second chance. P / Escape pauses.

Clear a stage to unlock the next. Earn 3 stars without losing a bubble, 2 with one lost, or 1 for finishing. Progress stays in this browser. Picking a stage starts a fresh run.

Keyboard and touch controls included. Gentle play makes the action slower; this is a visual arcade game. For a game with individually labelled targets, try Rainbow Pop in untimed mode.
