However, it's quite disappointing to discover that there isn't. The entire concept of Bubballs, essentially just another term for bubbles, revolves around popping bubbles. I'm not entirely sure what the developers had in mind while making this game. As it stands, the gameplay works like this: there's a main bubble that continuously moves around the area.

Bubballs is a very fun yet simple game where you have to pop as many bubbles as you can. It’s very relaxing and mesmerising as you can change the bubbles shape size and colour2 found this helpful

Bubballs just isn't much of anything. There's no meaningful gameplay, and even the visuals that it aspires to provide are barebones and lack and depth. It's essentially a playable screensaver, and a bad one at that.

Steam schlock, no redeeming qualities.
