Bubbels is Ruining My Life ;)
It is such a stress reducer, a lot like popping bubble wrap but more fun.
My high score is 52,000. Question: why do bubbels at the bottom sometimes disappear even though you have not hit anywhere near them? Tia Mary |

Continue to play and you will get over it in a few weeks - or at least I did. The worst thing is when you are near to finishing and then it gives you new lines of bubbels.. I am completely recovered from this game now, it took a while. Tweed |

Question: why do bubbels at the bottom sometimes disappear even though you have not hit anywhere near them? Tia Have a look at the way the bubbels sit, they are in hexagonal packing order (as circles do). But since you are working in rows, they don't fit evenly along hte vertical edges. You'll notice that down the sides, one row will be very close to the side, and the next row will have a small gap. If a row is close to the right hand 'wall', there will be a gap on the left side 'wall' of that row and vice versa. When the rows move down, they shift a little to take these gaps into account. Rows that had a gap onthe right side will move down and then have a gap on the left. Rows that had a gap on the left side move down tohave a gap ont he right. The net effect of this movement is that the bubbels that were touching in a vertical sense will stop touching each other and be one bubbel width apart when the rows move down by an odd number, and come back together again when they move down again by an odd number.. Bubbels can only stay on the playing field if there is an unbroken connection between the bubbels and the 'ceiling'. (this is why they explode if you pop the bubbels above them), But when they move down, that connection may change so some bubbels are no longer have an unbroken connection to the 'ceiling'. And thus, they have to explode. Which can be remarkably convenient if you have a long 'stalactite' that you can'totherwise get rid of, but you don't get any points for popping bubbels in this way. Yowie (how did I get to be the bubbels expert?) (because you play it *far* too much, silly) PS. For some reason I can no longer post easily from work I have to use Google (mutter mutter). Although IC an stillr ead the group here, you'll find I am being quietr than usual because I have been gagged. Grrrrr |

I really do think that it's that popping sound that's the addictive part. It worked for me, anyway! In the meantime, have fun.. Tweed --- not played it for weeks and proud ;-) |

I turn off the sound all the time so everyone else in the house doesn't know how I'm wasting my time. I'll get a game under 20,000 and them quit. I swear.
