What is Bubble Professor?
Help the professor fire coloured balls from his cannon and clear the board.
Bubble Professor is a bubble-shooter puzzle starring a cheerful professor and his cannon. Coloured balls fill the top of the board, and you fire new balls upward. When a ball lands touching two or more of the same colour, the group pops, and any balls left hanging fall away.
After a set number of shots, a new line of balls is added at the top, pushing everything closer to the bottom. If the balls reach the bottom line, the game is over. The goal is to clear as much as you can and set a high score.
How matching works
Each ball travels in a straight line, bouncing off the walls, until it sticks to the cluster. If it completes a group of three or more of one colour, they pop. Balls cut off from the top fall for extra points.
Because new lines arrive after a certain number of shots, every shot matters. Clearing the lower balls keeps you safe; dropping big clusters earns big points.
Scoring strategies
Drop, do not just pop
Clearing the balls that hold up a big cluster drops everything underneath. That is far more effective than small pops.
Use the walls
Bank shots reach gaps that straight shots cannot. Picture the wall as a mirror.
Watch the bottom
When the cluster gets close to the bottom, clear the lowest balls first.
Your first level
- Fire a few balls to see how they attach to the cluster.
- Try a bank shot off a wall.
- Look for groups of two that need just one more ball.
- Aim at balls that support large clusters.
- Watch how close the cluster is to the bottom.
Controls
- ▸Move the mouse or finger to aim the cannon.
- ▸Click or release to fire a ball.
- ▸Bounce shots off the side walls to reach tricky spots.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✕Only shooting straight up.
- ✕Making small pops while the cluster descends.
- ✕Blocking your own groups with stray balls.
Quick tips
- ★Aim for anchor balls to drop clusters.
- ★Bank shots open up the board.
- ★Keep the bottom clear.
Deep dive
Aim meets planning
Bubble Professor rewards both accurate aiming and good planning. Choosing where to place each ball is just as important as hitting the spot.
Shared engine
The techniques you learn here — reading the board, dropping clusters and bank shots — are the core skills of every bubble shooter.
Who it suits
It suits puzzle fans of all ages. The professor theme is friendly and the game is non-violent.
Reading the board
Before each shot, look at the whole board. Where are the large groups of one colour? Which balls hold up big clusters? Answering those questions helps you choose the most valuable target.
Managing new lines
A new line is added after a set number of shots. When the cluster is close to the bottom, focus on clearing low balls first.
Practising bank shots
Spend a round deliberately using only wall shots. It quickly teaches you the angles and opens up the whole board.
Who Bubble Professor suits
Bubble Professor suits anyone who likes calm, thoughtful puzzles with a hands-on aiming element. There is no time pressure on each shot, so you can take as long as you need to line up the perfect bank shot. Its friendly professor theme also makes it a good choice for younger puzzle fans.

How Bubble Professor compares
Bubble Professor is the only bubble shooter on GAME SPACE. Unlike the swap-based match games, it asks you to aim, so angles matter as much as colours.
If you prefer swapping to aiming, Jelly Match 3 and Candy Match 3 are great alternatives.
