Paint Pop

Paint Pop is a bubble shooter with a colourful twist: colours mix. Aim and shoot paint bubbles at the cluster above you. Match three or more of the same colour to pop them, and bubbles that lose their support fall away. The twist is that a primary colour shot at a different primary colour mixes with it. Red meets yellow and the bubble turns orange. Yellow meets blue and you get green. Red meets blue and it becomes purple. Mixing costs a shot but lets you turn a lonely bubble into the colour you need, so every level becomes a small puzzle. Clear every coloured bubble before you run out of shots. All 24 levels are checked by a solver, so each one can be finished.

How to play Paint Pop

1. Drag on the screen to aim and release to shoot. On a computer you can also move the mouse and click, or use the arrow keys and Space.
2. Match 3 or more bubbles of the same colour to pop them. Bubbles that are no longer connected to the top fall too.
3. Shoot a red, yellow or blue bubble at a bubble of a different primary colour to mix them. The bubble you hit changes colour and your shot is used up.
4. Red + Yellow = Orange, Yellow + Blue = Green, Red + Blue = Purple. Orange, green and purple only pop with their own colour.
5. Tap the NEXT bubble to swap it with the one in the cannon. Clear all coloured bubbles before your shots run out. Grey stone bubbles only fall when they lose their support.

Tips and strategy

• Look for lonely bubbles. One mix can turn a single bubble into the missing third piece of a group.
• The white ring around a bubble while you aim shows that your shot will mix there, and which colour it will make.
• Bounce shots off the side walls to reach bubbles that are hard to hit directly.
• Cutting a group loose from the ceiling pops everything hanging from it. Aim for the bubbles that hold up the biggest clusters.
• Use the swap button. Having the right colour next is often worth a moment of planning.
