• Based on popping bubbles, multipliers, and streaks.

Bubbles:

  • Bubbles immediately adjacent to the first are worth +20 points.

  • Bubbles next to those are worth +30 points, etc.

• In longer chains, bubbles can award +1000 points or more each.

Multiplier:

• Some bubbles carry a 2x multiplier.

• Popping these multiply the value of all bubbles in the chain.

• Connect multiple 2x multipliers to reach 4x, 6x, and even 8x multipliers.

• Combining multipliers with long chains of bubbles is essential to scoring high.

Streaks:

• Earn bonus points for matching bubbles on successive shots.

• Streaks start at +25 points and go up +15 points for each shot after that.

  • Two shot streak +25 points, three shots +40, four shots +55, etc.

  • 1 color cleared = +10%

  • 2 colors cleared = +20%

  • 3 colors cleared = +30%

Strategy

To maximize your score in Bubble Cube 2, follow these simple steps:

1. Clear all but two colors as fast as possible.

2. Intentionally let the board fill up with those two colors.

3. Clear the board but leave at least one of each color.

4. Repeat.

5. Before time runs out, completely clear the remaining two colors.

Here are some tips to help you succeed:

• When you begin, study the board. The game doesn’t start until you shoot.

• Look for shots that pop longer chains.

• Filling the combo counter is essential for getting down to two colors.

• You can’t always fill the combo counter, instead, setup combos for the next round.

• Build vertical branches to quickly clear colors.

• Aim past a gap to fire a bubble between it. Bubbles are smaller while in motion.

• Leave time to clear the board completely, but don’t end too quickly.

You can also play cash games to watch replays and learn your opponent's strategies.

Finally, practice makes perfect! Bubble Cube 2 is a game of skill; the better you are, the more you win.
