Introduction

Bubble Trouble is a highly addictive puzzle game for Palm range of PDAs. It combines strategy and pattern recognition. Goal of the game is to clear the playfield by selecting chains of 3 or more bubbles of the same shape and make them explode. Explosion will make a space for new ones that will fall from above. When there is no more bubbles to match, new set will fall from the top. If there is no more matches and there is no space on the playfield to put a new ones, game is over. In timed mode, each level have a time limit too.
Try to create long chains because they bring much more points. For example, 3 bubbles chain will give you just one point, chain of 6 will give you 8 and chain of 16 - 200 points (+level bonus).
